AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Introduction: Migraine is a frequent and debilitating primary headache. Pain catastrophizing is a negative set activated in response to anticipated or actual pain. The anticipatory fear of pain, one of its characteristics, has been associated with a greater prescription and use of analgesics.
Aim: To explore the pain catastrophizing in relation to analgesic overuse and the headache impact on quality of life in patients with chronic migraine.
Patients And Methods: An observational cross-sectional analytical study was performed. Patients older than 18 years with chronic migraine were included, who were given anonymously the Pain Catastrophizing Scale and the Head Impact Test-6.
Results: When comparing the incidence of analgesic overuse among patients with clinical pain catastrophizing levels and those without pain catastrophizing, the probability of analgesic overuse was 16 times higher in the first group (odds ratio = 16.06; 95% CI = 5.91-43.61; p < 0.0001). When comparing the presence of a severe migraine impact in patients with and without pain catastrophizing, the probability of a severe migraine impact is approximately eight times greater in the first group (odds ratio = 8.27; 95% CI = 3.19-21.42; p < 0.0001).
Conclusion: Clinical levels of pain catastrophizing in patients with chronic migraine might be associated with a higher incidence of analgesic overuse and a greater headache impact on quality of life.

Background: Postoperative pain intensity is influenced by various factors, including genetic variations. The SCN10A gene encodes the Nav1.8 sodium channel protein, which is crucial for pain signal transmission in peripheral sensory neurons.

Background: Multidisciplinary programs are the first recommendation for non-specific chronic low-back pain, but implementing this type of program is complicated to get up and running. The primary aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and appropriateness of the PAINDOC multidisciplinary program for subjects with chronic low-back pain. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the decrease in pain intensity, pain-related disability and pain catastrophizing, as well as the improvement in quality of life with this program.

Study Design: Narrative review OBJECTIVES: Sir Ludwig Guttmann realised spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation should incorporate more than a biomedical approach if SCI patients were to adjust to their injury and achieve productive social re-integration. He introduced components into rehabilitation he believed would assist his patients build physical strength as well as psychological resilience that would help them re-engage with their communities. We pay tribute to Sir Ludwig by presenting research that has focussed on psychosocial factors that contribute to adjustment dynamics after SCI.

Chronic non-specific neck pain (CNSNP) is a common condition and its relationship to the pain catastrophizing construct in terms of sensorimotor functions and dual task performance is not fully understood. We aimed to investigate the differences in sensorimotor integration, cervical sensorimotor control, and cognitive-motor dual tasking abilities between CNSNP patients (> 3 months) with high versus low catastrophizing tendencies and healthy controls. Ninety participants were recruited, 30 asymptomatic controls, and 60 patients with CNSNP; 30 scoring high (> 75 percentile) and 30 scoring low (< 25th percentile) on the pain catastrophizing scale (PCS).

Migraine, marked by moderate to severe headaches, is frequently accompanied by reversible neurological symptoms. Recent studies have revealed a complex and significant relationship between psychological factors and the onset and progression of migraine. Personality traits, such as neuroticism and harm avoidance, play a crucial role in the development, progression, and treatment outcomes of migraines.
