Research has consistently suggested that media consumption plays a vital role in children's socialization, including the socialization of painful experiences. Past research examining young children's popular media revealed worrisome trends in media depictions of pain; it consisted of narrow depictions of pain, gender stereotypes, and an overwhelming lack of empathy from observers, which could contribute to pain-related stigma. Research has not yet examined how pain is portrayed in adolescent media, despite adolescence being the developmental period when chronic pain often emerges...

INTRODUCTION: Cellulitis is a common infection, especially among the elderly, and compression therapy is often recommended to reduce acute oedema and pain. A previous study showed that compression therapy led to a lower incidence of recurrent cellulitis in lower extremities in patients with chronic oedema. The aim of this study was to describe clinical characteristics of patients with cellulitis. METHODS: This was a retrospective descriptive study reviewing medical records and medicine registrations in patients ≥ 18 years with cellulitis...

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of chronic wounds is predicted to increase within the aging populations in industrialized countries. Patients experience significant distress due to pain, wound secretions, and the resulting immobilization. As the number of wounds continues to rise, their adequate care becomes increasingly costly in terms of health care resources worldwide. eHealth support systems are being increasingly integrated into patient care. However, to date, no systematic analysis of such apps for chronic wounds has been published...

Low back and knee pain, as major symptoms and early signs of osteoarthritis, have restricted healthy life expectancy, and numerous guidelines have recommended therapeutic exercise as the first-line treatment for chronic pain. Proportions of medical and exercise consultation use for those pain have been unclear, and these may change in the future. We performed a cross-sectional study of 2,954 persons aged over 30 years in 2017 as a part of the Circulatory Risk in Communities Study. A generalized linear model with logit link and 11-year age-group moving averages were used to estimate sex- and age-specific average proportions of lifetime pain, chronic pain, and dysfunctional chronic pain of the low back and knee, and history of medical and exercise consultation use...

PURPOSE: Despite the availability of a wide variety of analgesics, many patients with chronic pain often experience suboptimal pain relief in part related to the absence of any medication to address the nociplastic component of common pain syndromes. Low-dose naltrexone has been used for the treatment of chronic pain, typically at 4.5 mg per day, even though it is also noted that effective doses of naltrexone for chronic pain presentations range from 0.1 to 4.5 mg per day. We performed an observational analysis to determine the range of effective naltrexone daily dosing in 41 patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain...

BACKGROUND: Trapeziometacarpal (TMC) osteoarthritis (OA) is a common cause of pain and weakness during thumb pinch leading to disability. There is no consensus about the best surgical treatment in unresponsive cases. The treatment is associated with costs and the recovery may take up to 1 year after surgery depending on the procedure. No randomized controlled trials have been conducted comparing ball and socket TMC prosthesis to trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction. METHODS: A randomized, blinded, parallel-group superiority clinical trial comparing trapeziectomy with abductor pollicis longus (APL) arthroplasty and prosthetic replacement with Maïa® prosthesis...

Endometriosis is a medical condition affecting at least up to 10% of women of reproductive age. This condition occurs when ectopic endometrial glands and stroma implant outside the uterus and there are several theories regarding the underlying origins of the disease. Endometriosis is one of the major causes of severe dysmenorrhoea, chronic pelvic pain and infertility. While endometriosis is generally a non-malignant condition, it rarely may transform into an invasive cancer, and increase the risk for epithelial ovarian cancer, notably endometrioid or clear cell ovarian cancer...

INTRODUCTION: Non-pharmacological interventions play a crucial role in the management of non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP). One prime example is Tuina, a traditional Chinese manual therapy that incorporates pressing, kneading and rubbing techniques to alleviate physical discomfort and enhance overall well-being. It serves as a widely used technique in China and other East Asian countries. However, the effectiveness and safety of Tuina for managing NSCLBP have not been substantiated through rigorous clinical research...

BACKGROUND: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), is a chronic condition with relapsing-remitting course. Diarrhea and abdominal pain are the most common IBD symptoms. Fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) is an endocrine factor that inhibits hepatic bile acid production and may be used as a diagnostic marker for bile acid malabsorption. OBJECTIVES: To assess serum FGF19 levels in active and inactive phases of IBD and find a potential correlation between FGF19 and disease activity...

INTRODUCTION: Central poststroke pain (CPSP) places a huge burden on patient lives because patients are often refractory to conventional strategies and have little chance for spontaneous recovery. A subset of patients is even given approval for euthanasia and is without any perspective. Because the anterior cingulate cortex historically seems to be a promising target for patients with both mental and chronic pain disorders, lesioning of this central "hub" with cingulotomy may be a useful strategy for medically refractory CPSP...

Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are characterized by chronic or recurrent gastrointestinal symptoms (GS) that are not explained by structural or biochemical abnormalities. FGIDs are related to lower quality of life, increased demands on medical resources, and greater somatization and emotional instability. Furthermore, GS appears to be an indicator of dysbiosis in gut-microbiota, affecting the gut-microbiota-brain relationship. To develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of a new instrument called the Gastrointestinal Symptom Severity Scale (GSSS) using a web-based survey in a sample of neurotypical children and adolescents from Spain...
