AI Article Synopsis
- Managing young children's negative behaviors during dental procedures can be tough, and moderate sedation (MS) is often used, although behavior may be influenced by parental factors like anxiety and coping styles.
- This study, conducted with 85 children aged 3-5 in Saudi Arabia, aimed to explore the connection between parental anxiety, coping strategies, and children's behavior during MS using various assessment scales.
- Results revealed that parental anxiety and pain catastrophizing had no significant impact on children's behavior during sedation, while acceptance coping strategies were linked to better sedation outcomes, and female children had higher sedation failure rates.
Article Abstract
Background/aim: Managing young children with negative behaviors can be challenging in dental settings. Moderate sedation (MS) is often used as a treatment option for such children. However, children's behavior during MS may vary depending on several variables. These variables include parental factors, such as parental anxiety, coping strategies, and pain catastrophizing. However, this area, particularly in Saudi Arabia, remains underexplored. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the association among parental anxiety, coping style, pain catastrophizing, and children's behavior during MS among Saudi children.
Methods: Based on sample size calculation, this cross-sectional observational study included 85 children aged 3-5 years undergoing dental treatment under MS at King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Parental anxiety, coping styles, and pain catastrophizing were assessed using the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale, Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced Scale, and Pain Catastrophizing Scale. Child behavior was evaluated using the Houpt scale during sedation visits, which was video-recorded and independently analyzed by a single evaluator. Data were analyzed using Pearson's chi-squared test, Mann-Whitney U test, and stepwise multivariate logistic regression analyses.
Results: The results showed no significant association among parental dental anxiety, pain catastrophizing, and child behaviors during MS. Specific parental coping strategies, such as acceptance, were positively associated with positive sedation outcomes ( = 0.03), while active coping strategies were linked to less favorable outcomes ( = 0.03). Female children had higher sedation failure rates ( = 0.02), and the number of dental treatments was positively associated with success rates ( = 0.03).
Conclusion: Parental anxiety and pain catastrophizing did not significantly affect the success of sedation. However, acceptance as a coping strategy was significantly associated with sedation success in pediatric dental care under MS, whereas active coping strategies were associated with less favorable outcomes.

Study on the impact of Kinesiophobia after Total Knee Arthroplasty on the rehabilitation of patients during hospitalization: A pilot study.
PLoS One

Department of Operating Room, Baoding First Central Hospital, Baoding, China.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of kinesiophobia following Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) on the rehabilitation outcomes of patients during hospitalization, includes examining the trends in resting pain levels at various time points post-surgery, the trends in active flexion of the knee at various time points post-surgery, and the effects of kinesiophobia on the timing of first postoperative ambulation, the duration of postoperative hospital stay, and the results of the two-minute walk test on the day of discharge. Postoperative kinesiophobia in patients was identified using the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), with 33 patients scoring >37 points and 35 patients scoring ≤37 points. Resting Pain levels were assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) at various time points, including upon return to the ward (T1), the first (T2), second (T3), third (T4), fifth(T5) postoperative days, and the day of discharge (T6).

Introduction And Hypothesis: Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome causes psychological distress, worsened by kinesiophobia and pain catastrophizing. This study assesses whether combining capacitive-resistive monopolar radiofrequency with myofascial techniques is more effective than myofascial techniques alone for improving psychological outcomes such as kinesiophobia and catastrophizing.
Methods: This double-blind, randomized controlled trial enrolled 81 chronic pelvic pain syndrome patients (67.
