Effective management of chronic pain necessitates multidisciplinary approaches including medical treatment, physical therapy, lifestyle interventions, and behavioral or mental health therapy. Medical providers regularly report high levels of stress and challenge when treating patients with chronic pain, which recur in part due to improper education on contributors to pain and misalignment in patient and provider goals and expectations for treatment. The current paper reviews common challenges and misconceptions in the setting of chronic pain management as well as strategies for effective patient education and goal setting related to these issues. The paper also outlines key aspects of provider burnout, its relevance for medical providers in chronic pain management, and recommendations for burnout prevention in navigating issues of patient education and treatment planning.

Despite advances in procedural techniques and equipment, postdural puncture headache (PDPH) remains a serious complication of labour epidural analgesia after accidental dural puncture (ADP). Often considered a temporary inconvenience, PDPH can be debilitating in the short term. It can also be associated with chronic manifestations and serious complications.

Background: To investigate the effect of Midnight-noon Ebb-flow combined with five-element music therapy in the continuous nursing of patients with chronic wounds.
Methods: From March 2022 to November 2023, we recruited 50 eligible chronic wound patients and randomly divided them into two groups according to a random number table: the experimental group (n = 25) and the control group (n = 25). The control group was treated with conventional nursing measures.

An 88-year-old male with a history of cervical spondylosis (status post laminectomy of C2-C3 and laminoplasty of C4-C5), chronic congestive heart failure (CHF), pulmonary embolism, and lumbar spinal stenosis presented to an outpatient sports medicine clinic with neck pain following a fall five days prior due to loss of balance. He reported pain on the left side worsened by movement and accompanied by neck "clicking." A physical exam showed severe limitation in cervical spine extension limited by pain and loss of lordotic curve and a neurologic exam demonstrated weakness in the left leg secondary to a previous back surgery.

Symptoms are marked by persistent lower back pain, reduced mobility, and heightened cold sensitivity. Here, we utilize a mouse model of CBP induced by injecting urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), a proinflammatory agent in the fibrinolytic pathway, between the L2/L3 lumbar vertebrae.

Furthermore, sensory neuronal TrkB expression and function has been traditionally associated with non-nociceptive neurons, particularly Aδ low-threshold mechanoreceptors. This study challenges prevailing assumptions by demonstrating that TrkBT1 is the predominant TrkB isoform expressed in sensory neurons and plays a functional role in modulating neuronal activity.
