The Occipital Nerves Applied Strain Test to Support Occipital Neuralgia Diagnosis.
Pain Ther
October 2023
Department of Medicine and Surgery Sciences, University of Bologna, Via Massarenti N. 9, 40138, Bologna, Italy.
Introduction: Occipital neuralgia (ON) is a disabling cephalalgia form with demanding diagnostic workflow. We report the description and reliability analyses of the occipital nerves-applied strain (ONAS) test for occipital neuralgia (ON) early-stage diagnosis in cephalalgia patients.
Methods: In a retrospective and observational study, we evaluated, among n = 163 consecutive cephalalgia patients, the sensitivity, specificity, and prior probability [positive (PPV) and negative (NPV) predictive values] of the ONAS test against two reference tests (occipital nerve anesthetic block and the painDETECT questionnaire).
Relationship between noise levels and intensive care patients' clinical complexity: An observational simulation study.

May 2024
Critical Care Nursing Master Course, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy.
Background: Noise pollution in intensive care units is a relevant problem, associated with psychological and physiological consequences for patients and healthcare staff. Sources of noise pollution include medical equipment, alarms, communication tools, staff activities, and conversations.
Aims: To explore the cumulative effects of noise caused by an increasing number and type of medical devices in an intensive care setting on simulated patients with increasing clinical complexity.
Evidence for the BUAS-test ability to diagnose lumbar radicular pain.

February 2022
Department of Medicine and Surgery Sciences, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy.
Background: Differential diagnosis of low back pain (LBP) is complex and a prominent issue at all health-care levels; guidance may come from patients' history cues and clinical examination signs. Human and animal studies report that diagnosis of lumbar radicular pain (LRP) may come from evaluating subjective responses of injured lumbar nerves to a strain applied at the buttock. The Buttock Applied Strain (BUAS-test) test may guide the differential diagnosis of LBP.

December 2021
Department of Medicine and Surgery Sciences, University of Bologna, via Massarenti n. 9, 40138, Bologna, Italy.
Introduction: The literature lacks formally validated and reliable tools for the diagnosis of breakthrough cancer pain (BTcP). The Italian Questionnaire for BTcP diagnosis (IQ-BTP) is an 11-item questionnaire aimed at detecting potential-BTP and classifying it into three likelihood classes: high, intermediate, and low.
Methods: A multicenter, prospective, and observational study was designed to validate the IQ-BTP.
