This study aimed to evaluate the association of pain-related disability with biopsychosocial factors in temporomandibular disorders (TMD) patients. The study was carried out at the Orofacial Pain Outpatient Clinic of the State University of Feira de Santana, Bahia, from September 2018 to March 2020. The sociodemographic aspects, TMD subtypes, presence of pain-induced disability, pressure pain threshold, perceived stress, anxiety, depression, and catastrophizing were evaluated in 61 patients. The studied variables were compared between patients with and without pain-induced disability. Crude and adjusted logistic regression were performed to obtain estimates of odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals. With the exception of catastrophizing, there was no association between the biopsychosocial factors and pain-induced disability. The presence of catastrophizing increased the chance of having chronic pain-induced disability by 4.02 times. The results of this study indicate a strong association between pain catastrophizing and disability in individuals with chronic painful TMD.

As a syndrome, chronic pain comprises physical, emotional, and cognitive symptoms such as disability, negative affect, feelings of stress, and fatigue. A rodent model of long-term inflammatory pain, induced by complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) injection, has previously been shown to cause anhedonia and dysregulated naturalistic behaviors, in a manner similar to animal models of stress. We examined whether this extended to alterations in circadian rhythms and sleep, such as those induced by chronic social defeat stress, using actigraphy and wireless EEG.

When caring for a patient with an intellectual disability, restraint is often an ambush. At the Institut Jérôme Lejeune, the nursing team has put in place a series of measures designed to help both patient and caregiver, whether in managing the pain induced by care or the apprehension it provokes. After a year's implementation, the number of heavy restraints has fallen significantly.

Chronic pain is common in our population, and most of these patients are inadequately treated, making the development of safer analgesics a high priority. Knee osteoarthritis () is a primary cause of chronic pain and disability worldwide, and lower extremity OA is a major contributor to loss of quality-adjusted life-years. In this study we tested the hypothesis that a novel JDNI8 replication-defective herpes simplex-1 viral vector () incorporating a modified carbonic anhydrase-8 transgene () produces analgesia and treats monoiodoacetate-induced () chronic knee pain due to OA.

Background: Coronary surgery can have various outcomes, such as fear of death, cardiac anxiety, and pain disability. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of interventions based on patient expectations on different outcomes of coronary surgery, including expectations, cardiac anxiety, and pain-induced disability.

Methods: This randomized clinical trial evaluated 60 coronary surgery candidates.

Article Synopsis
  • Kinesiophobia, or fear of movement, is linked to increased chances of chronic pain and disabilities, but its effects on the motor system aren't fully clear.
  • A study with 30 healthy participants examined how kinesiophobia influences muscle activation and movement during induced shoulder pain.
  • Results showed pain decreased muscle activity and affected movement differently, with higher kinesiophobia correlating to more significant reductions in movement distance and changes in motor signals related to muscle control.
