Racial differences in pain treatment and empathy in a Canadian sample.
CONCLUSIONS: <⁄span> The results of the present study closely replicate those from a previous study of American observers, providing evidence that a prowhite bias is not a peculiar feature of the American population. These results also add support to the claim that empathy plays a crucial role in racial pain treatment disparity. PMID: 23248809 [PubMed - in process]

Chronic Pain? Don’t Make a Meal Out of It
I chat with and hear from many other people who live with chronic pain. Like any other jolt in life, we each react differently when we’re shaken up, according to our attitude, our families and our physicians. I am constantly amazed by the reactions, the sorrows and the amazing joys in my own life and in others. These vessels, these bodies we walk around in are fragile and destined for extinction. Once we accept that fact, it makes the whole process of suffering chronic daily pain so much simpler to deal with. The suffering is not going to last forever; neither are the joys, the opportunities and experiences. There is a...

Pain in hospitalized children: Effect of a multidimensional knowledge translation strategy on pain process and clinical outcomes
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of a multidimensional knowledge translation intervention, Evidence-based Practice for Improving Quality (EPIQ), on procedural pain practices and clinical outcomes for children hospitalized in medical, surgical and critical care units. A prospective cohort study compared 16 interventions using EPIQ and 16 standard care (SC) units in 8 Canadian pediatric hospitals. Chart reviews at baseline (time 1) and intervention completion (time 2) determined the nature and frequency of painful procedures and of pain assessment and pain management practices. Trained pain experts eva...

Inflammation and inflammatory control in interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome: Associations with painful symptoms
Summary: Inflammatory dysregulation marks interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome. Inflammatory responses in peripheral blood mononuclear cells following Toll-like receptor 4 stimulation predict the magnitude of painful symptoms.Abstract: Toll-like receptors (TLR) are known to play a role in chronic pain, from animal models and limited research in humans, but their role in interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is unknown. Similarly, alterations of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis have been reported in some pain conditions. Our objectives were to identify inflammatory processes that might disti...

Pregabalin reduces acute inflammatory and persistent pain associated with nerve injury and cancer in rat models of orofacial pain.
CONCLUSION: Pregabalin produced a marked antinociceptive effect in rat models of facial inflammatory pain as well as in facial neuropathic and cancer pain models, suggesting that it may represent an important agent for the clinical control of orofacial pain. PMID: 25347171 [PubMed - in process]

Pulsed radiofrequency of the composite nerve supply to the knee joint as a new technique for relieving osteoarthritic pain: a preliminary report.
We report a new technique for pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) of the entire nerve supply of the knee as an option in treating osteoarthritis (OA) of knee. We targeted both sensory and motor nerves supplying all the structures around the knee: joint, muscles, and skin to address the entire nociception and stiffness leading to peripheral and central sensitization in osteoarthritis. Ten patients with pain, stiffness, and loss of function in both knees were treated with ultrasonography (USG) guided PRF of saphenous, tibial, and common peroneal nerves along with subsartorial, peripatellar, and popliteal plexuses. USG guided PRF of ...

The Effectiveness of Cannabinoids in the Management of Chronic Nonmalignant Neuropathic Pain: A Systematic Review.
Conclusion: Cannabisbased medicinal extracts used in different populations of chronic nonmalignant neuropathic pain patients may provide effective analgesia in conditions that are refractory to other treatments. Further high-quality studies are needed to assess the impact of the duration of the treatment as well as the best form of drug delivery. PMID: 25635955 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The Application of Neuropathic Pain Questionnaires in Burning Mouth Syndrome Patients.
CONCLUSION: Although the results of this study suggest that neuropathic pain questionnaires, such as PainDETECT and DN4, are not ideal principal screening tools for BMS patients, a substantial proportion of neuropathic symptoms in primary BMS patients were identified.

Myofascial Pain: An Open Study on the Pharmacotherapeutic Response to Stepped Treatment with Tricyclic Antidepressants and Gabapentin.
CONCLUSION: This study has demonstrated the good pharmacotherapeutic response of persistent myofascial pain, even in more severe cases. Not being a randomized controlled trial, the results may be biased and should be interpreted with caution. Patients who do not respond to TCAs may be a distinct subgroup and this needs further investigation. The results also suggest that gabapentin, at a lower dose than previously reported, is a good alternative in TCA-resistant patients. PMID: 25905532 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Subtyping Patients with Temporomandibular Disorders in a Primary Health Care Setting on the Basis of the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders Axis II Pain-Related Disability: A Step Toward Tailored Treatment Planning?
CONCLUSION: The results suggest that GCPS-related disability scoring can be used as a simple screening instrument in primary care settings to identify individuals with different, clinically relevant psychosocial subtypes. PMID: 25905530 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The Verbal Rating Scale Is Reliable for Assessment of Postoperative Pain in Hip Fracture Patients.
Authors: Bech RD, Lauritsen J, Ovesen O, Overgaard S Abstract Background. Hip fracture patients represent a challenge to pain rating due to the high prevalence of cognitive impairment. Methods. Patients prospectively rated pain on the VRS. Furthermore, patients described the changes in pain after raising their leg, with one of five descriptors. Agreement between paired measures on the VRS at rest and by passive straight leg raise with a one-minute interval between ratings at rest and three-minute interval for straight leg raise was expressed by kappa coefficients. Reliability of this assessment of pain using the VR...

Vitamin D and Pain: Vitamin D and Its Role in the Aetiology and Maintenance of Chronic Pain States and Associated Comorbidities.
Authors: Shipton EA, Shipton EE Abstract The emergence of new data suggests that the benefits of Vitamin D extend beyond healthy bones. This paper looks at Vitamin D and its role in the aetiology and maintenance of chronic pain states and associated comorbidities. The interfaces between pain and Vitamin D and the mechanisms of action of Vitamin D on pain processes are explored. Finally the association between Vitamin D and pain comorbidities such as sleep and depression is investigated. The paper shows that Vitamin D exerts anatomic, hormonal, neurological, and immunological influences on pain manifestation, thereb...
