Current and Emerging Approaches for Pain Management in Hemophilic Arthropathy. Pain Ther 2022; 11:1-15. [PMID: 35020184 PMCID: PMC8861243 DOI: 10.1007/s40122-021-00345-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2021] [Accepted: 12/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding hematological disorder characterized by the partial or complete deficiency of clotting factor VIII or IX. Hemophilic arthropathy is the consequence of repeated joint bleeding (hemarthrosis) and its management is based on the prevention of acute bleeding through the administration of the deficient clotting factor concentrate or non-factor therapies. In addition, the management of acute and chronic pain is pivotal in hemophilic arthropathy in order to restore function and allow rehabilitation of the joint.
Methods We conducted a qualitative review of the literature regarding current and emerging strategies for pain treatment in hemophilic arthropathy. This review considers systemic and local pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for acute and chronic pain management.
Results In hemophilic arthropathy, pain management is based on analgesics such as paracetamol, which represents the first choice for acute and chronic pain in adults and children, in association with opioids for adults. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs inhibit platelet function, so that the currently preferred drugs are short courses of cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitors. Local treatment with intra-articular injections of corticosteroids is an option for refractory cases and physiotherapy has an important role after hemarthrosis and for the long-term management of chronic pain for both pediatric and adult patients.
Conclusions The management of pain in hemophilia requires more standardization. Meanwhile, the safest drugs should be used at the lowest effective dosage and for periods as short as possible. For the non-pharmacological management of pain in these patients, a multidisciplinary team including hematologists, orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists, and physiotherapists is warranted.

Japanese cross-cultural validation study of the Pain Stage of Change Questionnaire. Pain Rep 2019; 4:e711. [PMID: 31041416 PMCID: PMC6455691 DOI: 10.1097/pr9.0000000000000711] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2018] [Revised: 12/11/2018] [Accepted: 12/16/2018] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Although evidence supports efficacy of treatments that enhance self-management of chronic pain, the efficacy of these treatments has been hypothesized to be influenced by patient readiness for self-management. The Pain Stage of Change Questionnaire (PSOCQ) is a reliable and valid measure of patient readiness to self-manage pain. However, there is not yet a Japanese version of the PSOCQ (PSOCQ-J), which limits our ability to evaluate the role of readiness for pain self-management in function and treatment response in Japanese patients with chronic pain. Objective: Here, we sought to develop the PSOCQ-J and evaluate its psychometric properties. Methods: We recruited 201 patients with chronic pain. The study participants were asked to complete the PSOCQ-J and other measures assessing pain severity, pain interference, catastrophizing, self-efficacy, and pain coping strategies. Results: The results supported a 4-factor structure of the PSOCQ-J. We also found good to excellent internal consistencies and good test–retest reliabilities for the 4 scales. The Precontemplation scale had weak to moderate positive correlations with measures of pain-related dysfunction and maladaptive coping. The Action and Maintenance scales had weak to moderate positive correlations with measures of self-efficacy and adaptive coping. The Contemplation scale had weak positive correlations with measures of pain interference and both adaptive and maladaptive coping. Conclusions: The PSOCQ-J demonstrated adequate psychometric properties in a sample of Japanese patients with chronic pain. This measure can be used to evaluate the role that readiness to self-manage pain may play in adjustment to chronic pain in Japanese pain populations.

A Cross-Cultural Validation of the Multidimensional Pain Readiness to Change Questionnaire 2 for Japanese Individuals With Chronic Pain. Pain Pract 2019; 19:609-620. [PMID: 30891879 DOI: 10.1111/papr.12782] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2019] [Revised: 03/05/2019] [Accepted: 03/13/2019] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The Multidimensional Pain Readiness to Change Questionnaire 2 (MPRCQ2) is a reliable and valid measure that assesses readiness to adopt a variety of discrete pain self-management responses. We sought to translate and evaluate psychometric properties of the Japanese version of the MPRCQ2 (MPRCQ2-J) in individuals with chronic pain. METHODS One hundred seventy-three individuals with chronic pain were asked to complete the MPRCQ2-J, as well as measures assessing pain intensity, pain interference, self-efficacy, and general readiness to adopt a self-management approach for pain. Forty-eight of these participants provided additional MPRCQ2-J data to assess test-retest reliability. RESULTS The findings supported a 2-factor structure of the MPRCQ2-J when error covariances between the some of the nine primary scales were allowed. Adequate internal consistencies of the MPRCQ2-J scales (Cronbach's α ranged 0.71 to 0.86), except for the total score (α = 0.68), were observed. However, adequate test-retest reliabilities (intraclass correlation coefficients ≥ 0.60) were found for only 59% of the MPRCQ2-J scales. The MPRCQ2-J evidenced its construct validity via confirmation of the predicted patterns of associations with validity criterion measures and the anticipated effects of participation in an exercise treatment. DISCUSSION The findings support the internal consistency (except for the total score) and construct validity for MPRCQ2-J scales. However, potential limitations with respect to test-retest reliability of some of the scales were also suggested. The MPRCQ2-J can be used to examine the role that specific readiness domains of pain self-management responses may play in an adjustment process in Japanese individuals with chronic pain.

Abstract
Haemarthroses cause major morbidity in patients with haemophilia. Blood has devastating effects on all joint components, resulting in synovitis, osteochondral degeneration and ultimately end-stage haemophilic arthropathy. Key players in this process are iron and inflammation. Preventing joint bleeds is of utmost importance to maintain joint health as targeted therapies directed against blood-induced inflammation and iron-mediated processes are lacking. Joint bleeds result in acute pain as well as chronic pain due to synovitis or arthropathy. Acute pain originates from nociceptors activated by tissue damage. In chronic inflammation, central and peripheral sensitization of nociceptors might occur resulting in chronic pain. This also triggers a series of brain disorders such as emotional fear, anxiety, mood depression and impairment of cognitive functions. Treatment of haemophilia-related pain not only consists of analgesics, but also of exercise, education and in selected cases antidepressants and anticonvulsants. For objective assessment of joint structural outcome and detecting earlier changes of haemophilic arthropathy, both ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging have shown valuable. Both can be considered equally able to reveal signs of disease activity. MR imaging is able to visualize haemosiderin deposition and is more comprehensive in depicting osteochondral changes. Disadvantages of MR imaging are the duration of the examination, evaluation of a single joint at a time, costs and may require sedation, and it may need intraarticular contrast injection to depict initial osteochondral changes with accuracy. As such, US is a more useful screening tool and can be used for repeated follow-up examinations.
