The study aimed to study the influence of musculoskeletal pain on kinesiophobia in patients with heart failure. This cross-sectional study recruited 107 heart failure patients aged 73.18±12.68 years (57% men) from an outpatient setting. Participants self-reported pain using the Musculoskeletal System Assessment Inventory and the Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire. Kinesiophobia was assessed with the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia-11. About 62% reported musculoskeletal pain, with knees (16.8%) and lower back (12.%) being the most painful locations. About 31% reported moderate levels and 24% indicated high levels of kinesiophobia. There were positive and significant associations between the indicators of pain and kinesiophobia. Results showed an adequate structural equation model fit to the data with musculoskeletal pain factors explaining 22.09% of the variance in kinesiophobia. Assessment of kinesiophobia in patients with heart failure with musculoskeletal pain is essential to improve self-care and overall quality of life.

A Cost Analysis of Opioid/Acetaminophen Therapy Versus a Multidrug, Opioid-Free Multimodal Postoperative Pain Control Regimen.

Opioids are often part of the post-operative pain regimen after orthopaedic surgery. Novel multimodal post-operative pain control regimens have been developed to decrease the amount of opioid usage due to their negative side effects including nausea, constipation, and addiction. The purpose of this study was to compare the cost of postoperative pain management treatment methods after orthopaedic surgery between opioid/acetaminophen therapy and an opioid-free, multidrug, multimodal pathway.

These tears can arise from acute injuries or chronic wear and tear, leading to conditions ranging from tendinopathy to cuff tear arthropathy. The prevalence increases with age, with a significant portion of older adults affected, many of whom may be asymptomatic.

Cervical radiculopathies are commonly treated with nerve root injections. This study presents a novel ultrasound (US)-guided cervical transforaminal injection technique using a curved transducer to enhance visualization of the anterior wall of the superior articular process and achieve successful epidural spread of injection. A 56-year-old patient with chronic C6 radiculopathy was treated using our US-guided approach with a combination of 5% dextrose and vitamin B12, leading to significant improvement in symptoms.

The management of peri-operative pain is one of the pillars of anaesthesia and is of particular importance in patients undergoing surgery for solid malignant tumours. Amongst several options, the most commonly employed analgesic regimens involve opioids, NSAIDs and regional anaesthesia techniques with different local anaesthetics. In recent years, several research reports have tried to establish a connection between peri-operative anaesthesia care and outcome after cancer surgery.

Background: The prevalence of chronic low back pain (CLBP) and its concomitant cost implications have continued to rise across the globe. Currently, there is no effective treatment for CLBP that leads to long-term improvement. Hence, there is growing recognition of the need for behaviour techniques including motivational interviewing (MI) to address CLBP.
