Factors predicting health-enhancing physical activity in patients with chronic widespread pain following a person-centred health plan.
Regular physical activity improves symptoms and overall health in people with chronic widespread pain. However, many struggle to stay active over time, highlighting the need for strategies that support long-term physical activity. To investigate if person-centred health plans that include physical a…
Global disparities in association between leisure-time physical activity and chronic musculoskeletal pain: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Previous studies have extensively investigated the association between leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMSP). However, the results have been inconsistent. It is not known whether the differences in the association between LTPA and CMSP are due to underlying fa…
Efficacy analysis of combined nerve combing and decompression for occipital neuralgia based on the classification of neurovascular relationships.
This study set occipital pain improvement as the primary endpoint, and overall headache relief, migraine index, medication use and complication rate as secondary endpoints, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neural combing plus decompression guided by four neurovascular relationship subtypes for…
From compression to denervation: Multimodality imaging of cervical rib-related arterial thoracic outlet syndrome.
Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) encompasses a spectrum of disorders caused by compression of neurovascular structures at the thoracic outlet. Arterial thoracic outlet syndrome (aTOS) is rare, accounting for less than 1% of cases, yet carries significant morbidity due to arterial injury, thrombosis, a…
Maternal and fetal outcomes of spinal cord stimulation in pregnancy: systematic review with descriptive meta-analysis.
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an established therapy for refractory neuropathic pain and is increasingly used in women of reproductive age. However, evidence regarding the safety of SCS during pregnancy remains limited, and consolidated outcome data are lacking. Our objective was to systematicall…
Resting state brain connectivity of pain and fatigue is affected by performance of a fatiguing attention task in patients with chronic pain.
Fatigue is common in patients with chronic pain, but the neural underpinning of this symptom is still poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate resting state connectivity correlates of pain and fatigue in patients with chronic pain. Twenty-four women with chronic pain, and 22 age-mat…
Therapist-patient correspondence in internet-based CBT for chronic pain: Associations with outcome and adherence.
Guided Internet-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (iCBT) typically involves text correspondence with a clinician who provides feedback and answers questions during the course of the treatment. Previous research indicates that therapist guidance can improve outcomes. A few studies show that therapis…
Use of Internal Brace for the Surgical Management of the "Baby Stener" Lesion of the Radial Collateral Ligament to the Small Finger.
We present a case of a traumatic isolated radial collateral ligament injury at the small finger metacarpophalangeal joint, a rare injury that warrants surgical intervention when associated with a Stener-like lesion in which the torn collateral ligament buttonholes through the radial sagittal band at…
