Objective: To determine whether psychosocial factors such as resilience, perceived stress, catastrophizing, anxiety, depression, pain self-efficacy, and social support, explain the persistence of pain and disability in individuals with RCRSP following an education program.
Methods: One hundred forty-three individuals with persistent RCRSP were included in this prospective cohort study. At baseline, participants completed self-reported questionnaires related to pain, disability, and psychosocial constructs, including resilience, stress, catastrophizing, anxiety and depressive symptoms, pain self-efficacy, and social support. Thereafter, participants took part in an educational program aimed at promoting self-management of RCRSP that included two meetings with a physiotherapist. After 12 and 24-weeks, participants filled only pain and disability questionnaires and based on their scores, were classified as having persistent shoulder pain or as recovered.
Results: A univariable modified Poisson regression showed that higher perceived stress (RRadjusted: 1.02; 95%CI: 1.01-1.04), catastrophizing (RRadjusted: 1.01; 95%CI: 1.01-1.02), symptoms of depression (RRadjusted: 1.03; 95%CI: 1.01-1.06) and anxiety (RRadjusted: 1.03; 95%CI: 1.01-1.06), along with lower resilience (RRadjusted: 0.90; 95%CI: 0.81-1.00), were associated with ongoing RCRSP at 12 weeks. Additionally, reduced pain self-efficacy was associated with persistent pain at both 12 weeks (RRadjusted: 0.98; 95%CI: 0.97-0.99) and 24 weeks (RRadjusted: 0.99; 95%CI: 0.98-1.00). Multivariable regression indicated that only pain self-efficacy served as a protective factor against persistent RCRSP (RRadjusted: 0.98; 95%CI: 0.97-0.99).
Discussion: This study sheds light on the impact of psychosocial factors on persistent RCRSP, underscoring the importance of positive beliefs in pain management. Importantly, pain self-efficacy emerges as a key factor in recovery.

Studies of internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) have documented its efficacy for pediatric Functional Abdominal Pain Disorders (FAPDs), but few have detailed how adolescents experience this. We investigated the lived symptom experiences of eight adolescents (age 13-17 years) with FAPDs, who had received ICBT. Semi-structured interviews were conducted using photo-elicitation, and analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, identifying three main themes; "Power of thoughts" describes the impact of thoughts on understanding symptoms and self.

Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a long-term condition that significantly diminishes quality of life (QoL). Sexual difficulties (SDs) are common, but often overlooked symptom, affecting 50-80% of people with MS (PwMS). The emergence of SDs in MS results from the intricate interplay of disease processes, treatments, and psychosocial factors, contributing to a further decline in QoL and adverse effects on body image, relationships, and psychological well-being.

Hypertrophic scar (HS) is a plaque fibrous and indurated dermal lesion that may cause physical, psychological, and cosmetic challenges for patients. Intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) is commonly used in clinical practice, which cause unbearable pain and uneven drug delivery within HS tissue. Herein, we developed a paper battery powered iontophoresis-driven microneedles patch (PBIMNP) for self-management of HS.
