Purpose: Pain-related self-efficacy and pain catastrophizing are important psychosocial determinants of pain and can be therapeutic targets for chronic pain management. Advances in psychometric science have made shorter or dynamically administered instruments possible. The aim of this study was to generate and test candidate items for two new patient-reported outcome measures of pain-related self-efficacy and pain catastrophizing.
Methods: An expert panel of pain clinicians and researchers was convened to establish construct definitions of pain-related self-efficacy and pain catastrophizing and guide item development. Two patient advisors provided guidance throughout the project. Nineteen people with chronic pain participated in focus groups about their perspectives and experiences related to pain-related self-efficacy and pain catastrophizing. Twenty-two people with chronic pain participated in cognitive interviews to test proposed candidate items.
Results: Saturation was reached after three focus groups with no new subdomains identified by participants in the third focus group. Following cognitive interviews, five of the 48 initial pain-related self-efficacy candidate items were dropped and seven required substantial revision resulting in 43 pain-related self-efficacy candidate items. After two rounds of cognitive interviews, ten items were eliminated and ten substantially revised, resulting in a set of 30 from the initial 43 pain catastrophizing candidate items.
Conclusion: This article summarizes results of the qualitative phase of the development of new measures of pain-related self-efficacy and pain catastrophizing. Candidate items will be field tested with a large sample of people with chronic pain and the data will be used to calibrate items to an item response theory model. Resulting item banks and short forms will be made publicly available to researchers and clinicians.

A Multisite Randomized Feasibility Trial of a Remotely Delivered Pelvic Yoga Program for Women with Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome.
J Integr Complement Med

Department of Medicine, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, California, USA.
Yoga has been recommended as a complementary management strategy for women with chronic pelvic pain (CPP), but many women lack access to specialized yoga instruction for this indication, and few data are available to evaluate changes in CPP with yoga. This feasibility trial evaluated the acceptability and tolerability of a remotely delivered yoga program for CPP in women and examined data quality and interpretability for measures of pelvic pain intensity and impact with yoga instruction. Ambulatory women with CPP were recruited from northern California in 2020-2022 and randomly assigned to a 2-month program involving twice weekly group classes delivered by videoconference supplemented by individual practice of pelvic yoga techniques versus a control program involving equivalent-time instruction and practice of nonspecific skeletal muscle stretching-strengthening exercises.

Using the Australiasian electronic Persistent Pain Outcomes Collaboration, a binational pain registry collecting standardized clinical data from paediatric ePPOC (PaedsePPOC) and adult pain services (AdultePPOC), we explored and characterized nationally representative chronic pain phenotypes and associations with clinical and sociodemographic factors, health care utilization, and medicine use of young people. Young people ≥15.0 and <25.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to identify unique clinical phenotypes of hip osteoarthritis (OA) using a biopsychosocial approach, analyzing data from 143 individuals awaiting total hip arthroplasty.
- - Researchers assessed various factors, including demographics, pain-related thoughts, mental health, social support, and pain/disability measures to classify participants into two clinical phenotypes: maladaptive and adaptive.
- - The maladaptive phenotype (34% of participants) was characterized by higher comorbidities, anxiety, and pain-related fears, leading to increased levels of pain and disability; this classification method has an accuracy of 87.8%, aiding in the development of personalized treatment plans.
Differences in the relationship between pain and anxiety in total knee and hip arthroplasty: a longitudinal cross-lagged analysis mediated by depression and pain catastrophizing.

Acute postsurgical pain (APSP) is an important risk factor for pain chronification, with reports of being more intense after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) than after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Psychological variables have been associated with differences in postsurgical pain experience. This study aimed to analyse the longitudinal reciprocal association between pain and anxiety levels in patients undergoing TKA or THA, to investigate the moderator role of the type of surgery and to explore psychological mediators in the anxiety - pain association.

Introduction: In light of the risks of over-reliance on opioid analgesia during recovery from rib fractures, there is increased interest in the efficacy of non-pharmacological approaches to pain management. This paper describes the protocol for a double-blind randomised controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of an mHealth intervention for reducing pain intensity, pain-related distress and opioid use during early recovery from rib fractures.
Methods And Analysis: Adults (N=120) with isolated rib fractures will be recruited within 24 hours of admission to a large public hospital in Sydney, Australia (single site), and randomised (1:1 allocation) to an intervention or active control group.
