Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic neck pain (CNP) is a global public health problem, with high prevalence and absenteeism rates. Central sensitization (CS) as a basis for chronic pain may play an essential role in its development and progression. It is often comorbid with low conditioned pain modulation (CPM) effects, cognitions, and psychological problems. OBJECTIVES The purposes of this study were to (1) explore the relationship between pain-related cognitions and psychological factors, CPM effects, and the central sensitization inventory (CSI) scores; and (2) determine whether cognitions and psychological factors can predict CSI scores and CPM effects in individuals with CNP. METHODS Fifty-four individuals with CNP were recruited for this cross-sectional study. The following outcome measures were evaluated: The CSI (screening tool) was compared with the cold pressor test (CPT), which was the psychophysical test used to assess the CPM; neck pain intensity using the visual analogue scale (VAS), as well as pain-related cognitions (including kinesiophobia and pain catastrophization) and psychological states (including anxiety and depression) using self-report questionnaires. RESULTS CSI score was not associated with the CPM effect (r = 0.257, p > 0.05), and no cognitions or psychological factors were associated with CPM (p > 0.05), but CSI score was moderately positively correlated with kinesiophobia (r = 0.554, p < 0.01), lowly positively correlated with pain catastrophization (r = 0.332, p = 0.017) and anxiety (r = 0.492, p < 0.01), but not depression (r = 0.207, p = 0.132). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that kinesiophobia (B = 1.308, p < 0.01) and anxiety (B = 1.806, p = 0.02) were significant positive predictors of CSI score. CONCLUSIONS The findings confirm some of our hypotheses. Accordingly, the findings inferred that the CSI does not seem to respond to CPM effect in patients with CNP effectively. In addition, CSI score was associated with cognitions and psychological factors, of which kinesiophobia and anxiety were effective predictors. In clinical practice, pain-related cognitions and psychological factors should be fully considered to manage neck pain efficiently.

Abstract
Importance Chronic pain risk and prognosis estimates are needed to inform effective interventions. Objective To estimate rates of chronic pain and high-impact chronic pain (HICP) incidence and persistence in US adults across demographic groups. Design, Setting, and Participants This cohort study examined a nationally representative cohort with 1 year of follow-up (mean [SD], 1.3 [0.3] years). Data from the 2019-2020 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) Longitudinal Cohort were used to assess the incidence rates of chronic pain across demographic groups. The cohort was created using random cluster probability sampling of noninstitutionalized civilian US adults 18 years or older in 2019. Of 21 161 baseline participants in the 2019 NHIS who were randomly chosen for follow-up, 1746 were excluded due to proxy response(s) or lack of contact information, and 334 were deceased or institutionalized. Of the 19 081 remaining, the final analytic sample of 10 415 adults also participated in the 2020 NHIS. Data were analyzed from January 2022 to March 2023. Exposures Self-reported baseline sex, race, ethnicity, age, and college attainment. Main Outcomes and Measures Primary outcomes were the incidence rates of chronic pain and HICP, and secondary outcomes were the demographic characteristics and rates across demographic groups. A validated measure of pain status ("In the past 3 months, how often did you have pain? Would you say never, some days, most days, or every day?") yielded 3 discrete categories each year: pain free, nonchronic pain, or chronic pain (pain "most days" or "every day"). Chronic pain present in both survey years was considered persistent; HICP was defined as chronic pain that limited life or work activities on most days or every day. Rates were reported per 1000 person-years (PY) of follow-up, and age standardized based on the 2010 US adult population. Results Among 10 415 participants included in the analytic sample, 51.7% (95% CI, 50.3%-53.1%) were female, 54.0% (95% CI, 52.4%-55.5%) were aged 18 to 49 years, 72.6% (95% CI, 70.7%-74.6%) were White, 84.5% (95% CI, 81.6%-85.3%) were non-Hispanic or non-Latino, and 70.5% (95% CI, 69.1%-71.9%) were not college graduates. Among pain-free adults in 2019, incidence rates of chronic pain and HICP in 2020 were 52.4 (95% CI, 44.9-59.9) and 12.0 (95% CI, 8.2-15.8) cases per 1000 PY, respectively. The rates of persistent chronic pain and persistent HICP in 2020 were 462.0 (95% CI, 439.7-484.3) and 361.2 (95% CI, 265.6-456.8) cases per 1000 PY, respectively. Conclusions and Relevance In this cohort study, the incidence of chronic pain was high compared with other chronic diseases. These results emphasize the high disease burden of chronic pain in the US adult population and the need for early management of pain before it becomes chronic.

The Effectiveness of Interventions and Intervention Components for Increasing Physical Activity and Reducing Sedentary Behaviour in People With Persistent Musculoskeletal Pain: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. THE JOURNAL OF PAIN 2022; 23:929-957. [PMID: 34856410 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpain.2021.11.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2021] [Revised: 11/08/2021] [Accepted: 11/12/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the effectiveness of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) interventions on PA and SB levels in people with persistent musculoskeletal pain. We explored the effectiveness of behavior change techniques (BCTs), the use of behavior change theory and non-PA/SB outcomes. Randomized controlled trials of PA or SB interventions for people with persistent musculoskeletal pain were eligible. Twenty-three studies were included. Quality of evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach. Meta-analysis demonstrated a small effect for PA post-intervention (Hedge's g = .321, CI .136-.507, P = .001, very low-quality evidence). There was no effect for longer-term follow-up PA (low quality evidence) or SB outcomes (very low-quality evidence). There was a small effect for studies with low risk-of-bias at longer-term follow-up PA. Self-report PA outcomes, PA and education interventions, non-self-selected PA, a combination of supervised and unsupervised PA and a combination of individual and group-based interventions had larger effects. Heterogeneity was moderate to considerable. Risk-of-bias, assessed using Cochrane risk-of-bias tool (version two), was generally low. Five promising BCTs were identified: "adding objects to the environment," "goal setting (outcome)," "action planning," "monitoring outcome(s) of behaviour by others without feedback" and "feedback on outcome(s) of behaviour." In conclusion, there is evidence for a modest benefit for PA interventions immediately post-intervention, however the quality of evidence is very low. There was no evidence for longer-term follow-up PA or SB. Higher quality studies of PA and SB interventions that use objective measures are needed. PROSPERO registration: CRD42020180260. PERSPECTIVE: This review investigated the effects of physical activity and sedentary behavior interventions on physical activity and sedentary behavior levels in people with persistent musculoskeletal pain. Current evidence shows a modest benefit for interventions on physical activity post-intervention but not at longer-term follow-up or on sedentary behavior at any time-point, however quality of evidence is low to very low.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Spinal pain and major depression are prevalent conditions in adult populations and are particularly impactful in the military. However, the temporal relationship between these two conditions remains poorly understood. METHODS Using data extracted from electronic medical records, we assessed the association between incident diagnoses of spinal pain and major depression in a cohort of 48,007 Canadian Armed Forces personnel followed from January 2017 to August 2018. We used multivariate Poisson regression to measure the association between the period prevalence of these two conditions. We used probabilistic bias modelling to correct our estimates for misclassification of spinal pain and major depression. RESULTS After correcting for misclassification with probabilistic bias modelling, subjects newly diagnosed with spinal pain during the study period were 1.41 times (95% interval 1.25, 1.59) more likely also to be diagnosed with incident major depression, and personnel newly diagnosed with major depression were 1.28 times (95% interval 1.17, 1.39) more likely also to be diagnosed with spinal pain, compared to undiagnosed counterparts of the same age and sex. Without bias corrections, we would have overestimated the magnitude of the association between major depression and spinal pain by a factor of approximately 2.0. CONCLUSION Our results highlight a moderate and bi-directional association between two of the most prevalent disorders in military populations. Our results also highlight the importance of correcting for misclassification in electronic medical record data research.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Virtual consultations (VC) have been embraced by healthcare organisations during the COVID-19 pandemic. VC allows continuation of patient care while adhering to government advised restrictions and social distancing measures. Multidisciplinary pain management programmes (PMPs) are a core element of many pain services and utilising virtual methods to deliver PMPs has allowed them to continue to provide care. This systematic review aimed to explore the content of existing virtually delivered PMPs and discuss if and how these findings can be used to guide clinical delivery. METHODS Eligible studies included adults (aged ⩾18 years) with persistent musculoskeletal pain and any virtually delivered intervention that was described as a PMP or that had components of PMPs. Databases were searched from inception until July 2020. We performed a content analysis comparing existing interventions with established evidence-based clinical guidelines published by the British Pain Society (BPS). Intervention reporting quality was assessed using the Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDieR) checklist: an established checklist developed to improve the completeness of the reporting of interventions. RESULTS Eight studies were included. One intervention included six of the seven components recommended by the BPS; none included all seven. 'Skills training and activity management' was present in all eight interventions; 'education' and 'cognitive therapy methods' were present in six interventions; 'graded activation' and 'methods to enhance acceptance, mindfulness and psychological flexibility' were present in four interventions; 'physical exercise' was present in two interventions and 'graded exposure' was present in one intervention. None of the studies described all 12 items of the TIDieR checklist adequately enough for replication. CONCLUSION Published virtual PMPs partially meet established clinical guidelines. Future virtual PMPs should be based on evidence-based clinical guidelines, and more research is needed to explore the effectiveness of virtually delivered PMPs and each recommended component.

Abstract
Background To explore the association between low back pain (LBP) and pelvic pain (PP) and rectus abdominis diastasis (RAD) in postpartum women and identify the characteristics and risk factors. Methods Women diagnosed with RAD and a history of labor and delivery, between 2009 and 2018, were identified from six hospitals within the Partners Healthcare System. Univariate and multivariable binary logistic regression analyses were used to identify the risk factors associated with pain. Results Age at onset of RAD in the non-cesarean delivery group was earlier than those in cesarean delivery (CD) group (P = 0.017). Women who underwent CD demonstrated 4.5 times greater risk of RAD than those who had no CD exposure. The cumulative composition ratio of LBP at every age stage of the period from 8 years pre-first delivery to 8 years post-first delivery was significantly higher than the other five conditions (RAD, umbilical hernia, PP, depressive disorder [DD], and strain of muscle, fascia, and tendon [SMFT]) (P for trend < 0.001). Women with DD, SMFT, and PP were more likely to have LBP (odds ratio [OR] = 1.91, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.06 to 3.47, P = 0.032; OR = 4.50, 95% CI 1.64 to 12.36, P = 0.003; OR = 2.14, 95% CI 1.17 to 3.89, P = 0.013; respectively). Conclusions In postpartum women with RAD, DD, SMFT, and PP were found to be risk factors contributing to the development of LBP. Race and LBP also played roles in the development of PP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pain and psychological disorders are the 2 most commonly occurring symptom clusters in patients with postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for anxiety and depressive disorders in patients with PHN. METHODS Retrospectively, we examined the potential risk factors of anxiety and depression among patients with PHN from the clinic medical records of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from 2017 to 2019. The Chinese version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to assess anxiety and depression. Patients were retrospectively allocated to 2 groups - PHN with and without anxiety/depression - and compared to identify the differential patient characteristics. RESULTS Cases of 661 patients who were diagnosed with PHN were included. Anxiety and depression developed in 69.0% (456/661) and 65.8% (435/661) of the enrolled patients with PHN, respectively. Results of univariate regression analyses showed that female sex, magnitude of pain intensity, time from onset of rash and extent of spread of rashes were significantly associated with anxiety and depression in patients with PHN. Multivariate analysis revealed that both anxiety and depression states significantly correlated with female sex, magnitude of pain intensity, and extent of spread of rashes. CONCLUSIONS Anxiety and depression were not uncommon in patients with PHN. Women with PHN who experience severe pain and develop extensive rashes have a high risk of developing anxiety and depressive disorders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The Multidimensional Symptom Index (MSI) is a 10-item parallel score frequency×interference patient-reported outcome for use in clinical pain research. This manuscript describes results related to measurement stability, discriminative accuracy when screening for major depressive disorder (MDD), and prognostic validity when predicting recovery trajectories after acute musculoskeletal (MSK) trauma. METHODS Data were drawn from a longitudinal cohort study of adults with acute MSK trauma, supplemented by a secondary sample of adults with chronic pain. RESULTS In a sample of n=23 stable participants over a 1-month period, reliability metrics indicated good stability for all 5 subscales (ICC3,1: 0.70 to 0.91). In a mixed acute/chronic sample (n=148), the Number of Symptoms and Nonsomatic Symptoms subscales showed clinically useful discriminative accuracy for MDD screening (area under the curve=0.86 and 0.88, respectively). In n=129 with acute MSK trauma, the Mean Interference and Nonsomatic Symptoms subscales showed significant prognostic validity for classifying participants into "recovery expected" or "recovery not expected" groups with 72.5% and 92.2% accuracy, respectively. DISCUSSION The MSI holds promise as a tool for evaluating change, screening for MDD, and identifying those at high or low risk of poor recovery. The results favor sensitivity over specificity. The labile nature of the acute pain symptoms and a truncated distribution of Nonsomatic Symptoms scores in that group both require some caution in interpretation. The MSI appears to be a potentially useful tool for rapid pain phenotyping, evaluation, and quick screening purposes in clinical practice.
