▼ In this thesis, rodent models of chronic
pain were
used to explore analgesic mechanisms that may potentially be
engaged in spinal and peripheral compartments by
systemically-administered amitriptyline, a tricyclic
antidepressant. The first project (Chapter 2) identified the roles
of spinal adenosine A1 and serotonin 5-HT7 receptors, as well as of
peripheral adenosine A1 receptors, in the acute antinociceptive
effects of amitriptyline in mice. The second project (Chapter 3)
examined the potential utility of amitriptyline as a preventive
analgesic against
persistent post-
surgical pain, and involved
perioperative administration of amitriptyline after peripheral
nerve injury in rats. Changes in
post-injury behavioural outcomes,
as well as spinal noradrenergic sprouting, were assessed. Overall,
spinal serotonergic pathways linked to adenosine A1 receptors, as
well as peripheral adenosine A1 receptors, appear to be important
in antinociception by amitriptyline. Preventive analgesia by this
drug does not appear to result from anatomical changes in spinal
noradrenergic pathways.

▼ Persistent postsurgical pain (PPSP) is reported as recurrent and frequently disabling complication of many surgical procedures. The consequences for PPSP not only reduce the quality of life for patients but also financially tax the health care system, considering the volume of surgical procedures performed annually. Development of chronic pain has been proposed to involve a complex pathophysiology combined with pre-, intra-, and post-operative risk factors. There is no definite recommendation on which factor to assess (in which surgery) and what tools to utilize for conducting a study on PPSP, since many recognized risk factors for PPSP are contradictory. For a comprehensive overview of major PPSP risk factors for identification and possible prevention, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the published literature on the risk factors across six major surgical groups: breast surgery, chest/thoracic surgery, total hip arthroplasty/total knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA), gynecologic surgery, iliac crest bone harvest (ICBH), and groin hernia repair. Furthermore, to assess the generalizability of the meta-analysis results, we sought to conduct a retrospective, cross-sectional study examining the prevalence and major risk factors of PPSP after cystectomy for bladder cancer. The meta-analysis found that no single risk factor was associated with PPSP across all surgical groups. Age and previous surgery were found to be risk factors for PPSP in gynecologic surgery. For thoracic surgery, male sex and BMI were found as risk factors for PPSP. Surgical duration, presurgical chronic pain, and BMI were risk factors for groin hernia repair. The prevalence of PPSP in our cystectomy study was 22.1%. Female sex and presurgical chronic pain were risk factors significantly associated with PPSP after cystectomy. No risk factors were universally associated with PPSP. Persistent pain after each type of surgical procedure appear to have separate set risk factors among age, BMI, sex, previous surgery, and presurgical pain.

▼ Chronic
pain is a major health problem affecting more than 1.5 billion people worldwide. Specifically, neuropathic
pain and chronic
post-
surgical pain are debilitating clinical conditions with few efficacious treatments, warranting development of novel therapeutics. Starting with the hypothesis that dysregulated translation regulation pathways may underlie these
pain states, we demonstrated that there is a major reorganization of translation machinery in the peripheral nervous system of rats and mice, including enhanced mTOR and ERK activity and increased phosphorylation of mTOR and ERK downstream targets in these
persistent pain states. We also hypothesized that activators of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) may represent a novel treatment avenue for the treatment of neuropathic and incision-induced
pain because AMPK activators inhibit ERK and mTOR signaling, two important pathways involved in the sensitization of peripheral nociceptors. The AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK) activators, metformin, resveratrol and A769662, inhibited translation regulation signaling pathways in sensory neurons, eIF4F complex formation, nascent protein synthesis in injured nerves and sodium channel-dependent excitability of sensory neurons resulting in a resolution of neuropathic allodynia. We have further demonstrated that local injection of resveratrol, metformin or A769662 and topical application of resveratrol, a potent AMPK activator, into the hindpaw following plantar incision dose-relatedly reverses incision-mediated mechanical hypersensitivity as well as hyperalgesic priming induced by incision. In addition, co-treatment with systemic metformin and local resveratrol at individually sub-efficacious doses at the time of incision blocked acute hypersensitivity and hyperalgesic priming suggesting potential super-additive effects of combined AMPK activator use. These results highlight the importance of signaling to translation control in peripheral sensitization of nociceptors and provide further evidence for activation of AMPK as a novel treatment avenue for acute and chronic
pain states.

▼ OBJECTIVE: The overall goal of this study was to examine the relationship between preoperative, 1-year post-operative, and 2-year postoperative self-image in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis undergoing spinal fusion surgery. In addition, a minor goal was to examine the relationship between pre-surgical mental health and post-surgical self-image and satisfaction. Additionally, spinal curvature and preoperative pain were explored in relation to the effect of pre-surgical mental health on post-surgical self-image. Analyses were performed in order to better understand the relationship of corrective surgery to self-image, and self-image's relationship to persistent postoperative pain, which has been recognized as a common clinically significant problem.
METHODS: The Scoliosis Research Society Questionnaire-30 and Spinal Appearance Questionnaire were administered to 219 patients enrolled in the Prospective Pediatric Scoliosis study at pre-operative, 1-year post-operative, and 2-year post-operative time points. A subset (n=163) of these patients had complete data. The Scoliosis Research Society Questionnaire-30 includes pain and mental health subscales, which were examined preoperatively for the purpose of this study. Measurements of preoperative curve (Cobb) angle percentage correction were used in the analysis of this data, which were determined using operative notes. The Spinal Appearance Questionnaire (SAQ) includes self-image appearance and expectations subscales, which were examined at the preoperative, 1-year postoperative, and 2-year postoperative time points.
RESULTS: There were significant improvements in self-image after surgical intervention in children with idiopathic scoliosis undergoing spinal fusion surgery. Cobb angle percentage correction, preoperative pain scores as determined by the SRS-30, and preoperative mental health scores as determined by the SRS-30 were not significant predictors of postoperative self-image as measured by the SAQ. There is little to no correlation between the preoperative measures and postoperative self-image.
CONCLUSIONS: Prior studies have confirmed that pediatric persistent postsurgical pain is a significant health concern, and that presurgical mental health and self-image are factors that contribute to a pediatric patient's longitudinal experience with postsurgical pain. This study shows that there are clinically significant improvements in self-image after surgical intervention in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis undergoing spinal fusion surgery. These findings suggest that preoperative pain, degree of spinal curvature correction, and preoperative mental health are not determinative of postoperative self-image in pediatric populations. Future studies should be conducted on more diverse populations, and take into account measures that may be predictors of poor postoperative self-image, specifically depression and anxiety. In summary it is important to explore the biological mechanisms pertaining to pediatric post-surgical chronic pain and their…

▼ Over 5% of Americans over the age of 12 reported depression between 2005–2006, and it remains the second leading cause of death in the adolescent and the early adulthood population. The estimated worldwide impact of depression affects approximately 300 million people (World Health Organization [WHO], 2017). Few research studies analyzed the correlation of depression and postoperative pain. The impact of depression on physiological wellbeing, and evidence from various studies suggest a correlation between psychological illnesses such as depression and the physiological manifestations of pain. This systematic review will consider Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT’s), however in the absence of RCT’s, a Quasi-experimental design, and Prospective cohort studies, will be included. Inclusion criteria for the systematic review consists of: adults ≥ 18 years of age with self-reported depression, subjects who have mild, moderate, or severe postoperative pain, subjects who received anesthesia or analgesia, and who underwent ambulatory surgery. Six of the nine studies reported higher postoperative pain levels among participants who had increased preoperative depression, and three out nine studies reported a negative correlation. Overall limitations in this review include the inability to obtain the highest level of evidence such as RCT’s. Due to lack of available RCT studies, cohort studies provided the primary basis of information for which this study relied. Cohort studies do not provide the highest level of evidence, and therefore an increased level of heterogenicity within this study was apparent.

▼ Nearly all humans experience acute pain during their lives. Generally, acute pain is short lived, however, up to 20% of adults globally suffer from persistent pain. This prevalence increases with age with up to 50% of elderly people in the community setting and 80% in aged care facilities (ACFs) experiencing persistent pain. Pain, whether acute or persistent can create a significant burden and cost to the patient and society as a whole, through reduced work productivity and health care costs.
In the financial year ending June 2014 analgesics (excluding anti-inflammatories) were the fifth most commonly dispensed class of drug on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) in Australia. Six of the top 50 medications on the PBS, by volume, were analgesics or anti-inflammatories. The most frequently dispensed analgesics were paracetamol (with over 6.4 million prescription), followed by paracetamol and codeine (with approximately 3.8 million prescriptions) and then oxycodone (with approximately 3.7 million prescriptions). These figures parallel research findings in Australia and other countries that have found that the consumption of analgesics, particularly opioids, for persistent pain has increased dramatically over the past decades, as a consequence of significant societal reliance on the pharmacological management of pain.
With pain being so prevalent in today’s society, evaluating the way in which pain is managed pharmacologically, as well as identifying quality use of medicine (QUM) issues related to its management is paramount to ensure optimal patient outcomes. In addition, increased research activity in pain management has been recommended by the National Pain Strategy [Australia] and the Royal Australasian College of Physician’s Opioid Policy, with a focus on assessing attitudes to pain, risk factors for persistent pain conditions and reducing the harms associated with pain management, particularly opioids.
The overarching aim of this thesis was to identify barriers to pain management and make recommendations as to how these could be overcome. Specifically, the research objectives were to:
• Observe how pain is managed pharmacologically in Australian clinical practice;
• Identify predictors for persistent postoperative pain (PPP);
• Identify QUM issues related to the management of pain; and
• Identify barriers to pain management.
These research objectives were investigated through a number of complementary papers, which are described in Chapters Three to Ten. This thesis initially describes the current literature surrounding the pathophysiology and management of pain, and then goes on to detail the eight studies completed as part of this thesis, which investigate the clinical management of pain and how pain management could be improved. The thesis concludes with a discussion about the main areas where QUM issues exist in relation to the management of pain and how these issues and barriers could be overcome.
The study presented in Chapter Three evaluates nearly 170 patients who underwent an operation at the…

▼ Chronic pain is an ever-present issue and some estimate its cost to society at $635 billion per year. Not only does chronic pain cause increased visits to medical personnel, it also complicates other medical conditions and lowers productivity in the workplace. One area of study includes Chronic Post Surgical Pain (CPSP) in children that have undergone spinal fusion surgery for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). Some of the major factors that may lead to CPSP include preoperative pain, psychosocial factors, age, intraoperative nerve injury, acute postoperative pain, and genetics. In order to explore the psychological factors, our lab has employed an Unpredictable Chronic Mild Stress (UCMS) paradigm, which models unforeseen life stressors and depression. Some sensory testing was conducted included Hot Plate and von Frey fiber testing. Previous studies from this lab have shown that adult male mice have hyperalgesia to thermal stimuli following a UCMS paradigm. To further explore this finding, a younger mice cohort of both sexes and a cohort that underwent Maternal Deprivation (MD) were added. Maternal Deprivation is a model of early-childhood stress and older female mice have been shown to have changes in thermal sensitivities as a result of early
childhood stressors. Our lab found that stressed young females also exhibit a heightened sensitivity to thermal stimuli at 49°C compared to their male and control counter parts. These results indicate that the thermal sensitivity of young females can be affected by early childhood stress and depression.

▼ Professional Doctorate - Doctor of Clinical Psychology (DClinPsych)
In clinical practice it is often noted that some individuals struggle with chronic pain while others cope. The purpose of this study was to better understand how resilience fits into coping with persistent pain problems. Of interest was whether measures of resilience are better predictors of adjustment to chronic pain than measures of pain coping as typically used with this patient group. 101 individuals with chronic pain attending an initial assessment at a pain clinic completed self-report measures of resilience and coping. Pain related outcomes were monitored. Results indicated that higher resilience was significantly associated with less fear avoidance, less pain-related disability and lower reported pain intensity. Consistent with theoretical propositions, more resilient individuals with chronic pain also reported better social support, and were more likely to be working. Results also showed that higher resilience was associated with greater pain self-efficacy. Hierarchical regression analyses were performed, and revealed that resilience did not add significantly to the prediction of depression scores and disability scores, over and above the contribution made by existing measures of pain coping. Hence it is concluded that the concept of resilience adds a small but important element to the understanding of adjustment in chronic pain.

▼ The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the
surgical nurses’ perceptions
about the management of
post-operative
pain and strategies employed in management
of
pain in patients who have undergone total hip or knee replacement surgery in King
Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Qualitative, exploratory-descriptive research design was applied. Purposive nonprobability
sampling was used and data collected by means of audio-recorded semistructured
individual interviews. Data saturation was reached after interviewing twenty
surgical nurses. Themes and categories emerged from adopting Creswell’s (2013) “data
analysis spiral”.
One of the key findings was that patients reportedly experience moderate to severe
pain
during the first three days after surgery, before it is controlled on mild to moderate levels
or before the patient is
pain free. Conclusions were drawn, and one of the major ones
was that multimodal strategies are employed by the
surgical to manage
post-operative
pain. Recommendations were also made from findings of this study, and one key
recommendation was that expatriate nurses to have access to Arabic speakers to
overcome language barriers.

▼ With chronic post surgical pain affecting up to one third of patients undergoing surgeries and the price of treatment being astoundingly high there has been a transition in research to investigate and identify risk factors. Through identification of risk factors new preventative measures can be taken to ensure better surgical outcomes. The role that psychosocial factors can play in the development of chronic post surgical pain has long been recognized yet its mechanisms are still unknown. We aim to investigate how environment can play a direct role in pain perception and sensitivity. We used a Chronic Mild Stress (CMS) paradigm to induce depression in 10 adult male mice, we used 10 control mice who were left in standard opti cages, and 10 enriched mice who were placed in large enrichment cages. CMS mice were exposed to a series of stressors and all mice underwent spared nerve injury surgery. During spared nerve injury the common peroneal and tibial branches of the sciatic nerve were severed while the sural branch was left intact. Overall well-being and pain threshold of mice were tested via Von Frey, Hot Plate, Heat Place Preference, Dynamic Weight Bearing, Hole Board, and Social Interaction. It was found that CMS mice experienced thermal hyperalgesia yet normal thermal threshold sensation. CMS mice also spent less time interacting with novel mice in social interaction, and less amount of time exploring the center of the hole board arena than control or enriched mice. While Von Frey results did not change over the course of the experiment, dynamic weight bearing results indicated spared nerve injury surgery was successful and produced chronic pain. Results indicate that environment plays a role in thermal pain perception and CMS affected overall well being of mice as CMS mice exhibited more timid and anxious behavior.

▼ Monoamines appear to play an important modulatory role on pain descending pathways and are involved in the antinociceptive mechanism of several drugs commonly used for the management of pain. In this study, we assessed the involvement of monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B), a key enzyme implicated in monoamine metabolism, on models of postsurgical and neuropathic pain in mice. For this purpose, we evaluated the effects of the selective and irreversible MAO-B inhibitor selegiline on mechanical sensitivity and ex vivo MAO-B activity in different central nervous system regions in mice submitted to incisional and partial sciatic nerve ligation (PSNL) pain models. Mice subjected to plantar incision showed a significant decrease in mechanical threshold when compared with sham-operated mice, characterizing the development of mechanical allodynia. Selegiline, at a dose sufficient to inhibit selectively the MAO-B activity (10 mg/kg), showed an anti-allodynic effect from 0.5 until 6 h after incision. The MAO-B activity was not altered in incision submitted mice when compared with sham-operated animals in any analyzed structure. Likewise, PSNL submitted mice also developed mechanical allodynia, which was reversed by selegiline (10 mg/kg) from 2 until 6 h after treatment. In addition, a significant increase on striatal MAO-B activity was observed in mice subjected to PSNL when compared with sham-operated animals, which was reversed by selegiline treatment. Taken together, our results showed that selegiline presented an antinociceptive effect on mice models of both acute and chronic pain, suggesting a potential involvement of MAO-B on pain mechanisms.
As monoaminas possuem uma função modulatória importante nas vias descendentes do controle da dor e estão envolvidas no mecanismo antinociceptivo de diversos fármacos comumente utilizados no tratamento de síndromes dolorosas. Nesse estudo, nós avaliamos a participação da monoamina oxidase B (MAO-B), uma enzima chave envolvida no metabolismo das monoaminas, em modelos de dor pós-operatória e neuropática em camundongos. Para esse propósito, foram avaliados os efeitos da selegilina, um inibidor seletivo e irreversível da MAO-B, na sensibilidade mecânica e na atividade ex vivo da MAO-B em diferentes regiões do sistema nervoso central (córtex cerebral, estriado e medula espinhal) de camundongos submetidos à incisão plantar ou à ligação parcial do nervo ciático (PSNL). Os camundongos que foram submetidos à incisão plantar apresentaram uma diminuição significativa no limiar mecânico quando comparados aos animais falso-operados, caracterizando o desenvolvimento de alodínia mecânica. Tanto o pré quanto o pós-tratamento com selegilina, em uma dose capaz de inibir seletivamente a atividade da MAO-B (10 mg/kg, p.o.), apresentaram efeito anti-alodínico a partir de 0,5 até 6 h após o tratamento. A atividade da MAO-B, medida 4 h após o procedimento cirúrgico, não foi alterada nos camundongos submetidos à incisão quando comparada com a atividade dos animais falso-operados em nenhuma das estruturas…

▼ The current thesis aims to address the prognosis and management of patients who have injuries necessitating orthopaedic surgery.
In Chapter 1 I introduce the thesis, and in Chapter 5 I offer conclusions and summarize the contribution of the work. In Chapter 5, I address the scope, rationale, key findings, limitations and implications.
Chapter 2 is a systematic review and meta-analysis investigating the effectiveness of antibiotic prophylaxis in patients with open fracture of the extremities. The results demonstrate moderate quality evidence of an important reduction in the infection rate in patients receiving, versus not receiving, antibiotic prophylaxis. We found no difference in infection rate with longer (3 to 5 days) versus shorter (1 day) duration of antibiotics – this finding warrants only low confidence.
Chapter 3 is a systematic survey of current practice and recommendations regarding antibiotic prophylaxis in open fracture management. Authors of publications over the last decade strongly support early systemic antibiotics prophylaxis for patients with open fractures of extremities. In practice, most used systemic antibiotics with both gram-positive and gram-negative coverage, and continued the administration for 2 to 3 days. Most recommendations suggested gram-positive coverage for less severe injuries, and administration duration of no more than 3 days (half suggested 1 day). For more severe injuries, most recommendations suggested broad antimicrobial coverage continued for 2 to 3 days.
Chapter 4 is a longitudinal study investigating predictors of persistent post-surgical pain after tibia fracture. We found significant independent associations between resolution of pain and male sex, non-smoking and alcohol consumption. Age, obesity, type of fracture (closed versus open), additional injuries, and post-operative weight-bearing status did not predict resolution of pain. Our findings suggest that clinicians should be particularly alert to the possibility of troublesome post-operative pain in female smokers who do not drink alcohol. Clinicians may consider counselling patients to discontinue smoking, inform them that they are at nearly double the risk of incidence of troublesome post-operative pain (in addition to the long-term adverse health consequences of smoking).
Thesis
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Antibiotic prophylaxis reduces infection with 10% fewer event rate than the group without antibiotic prophylaxis (low to moderate confidence in estimates). The optimal antibiotic regimens and duration remain uncertain. There is a higher risk of persistent post-surgical pain in female smokers who do not use alcohol, following tibia fractures.

▼ Introduction: Persistent pain following root canal treatment (RCT), a common dental procedure, can be either of odontogenic or nonodontogenic origin. The prognosis for patients experiencing such pain is dependent on differentiating patients into these 2 categories and deriving specific diagnoses, since appropriate treatment various dramatically. This study aims to present the proportions of specific diagnoses these patients have and provide information about their signs and symptoms, including radiographic findings. Methods: This study was nested within a parent prospective observational study that followed up patients for 6 months following RCT. Patients meeting criteria for persistent pain at 6 months and living in Minnesota were considered eligible cases. Cone-beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and dental radiographs were obtained and patients were individually evaluated by an endodontist and an orofacial pain practitioner to derive consensus diagnoses. Results: A total of 38 patients met the criteria, of which 19 were evaluated. Odontogenic reasons for persistent pain occurred less frequently than nonodontogenic reasons (42% vs. 53% respectively). There was an overlap of odontogenic and nonodontigenic reasons in 10% of the patients. About 16% reported some level of pain that seemed to be related to normal "healing". Of patients with odontogenic reasons, about one third was related to the previously treated tooth and the other two thirds were related to adjacent teeth. Temporomandibular pain disorder (TMD) was the most common nondontogenic reason for pain, comprising 42% of all patients and 80% of those with nonodontogenic pain. Persistent dento-alveolar pain disorder (PDAP) was less common, comprising 10% of all patients and 20% of those with nonodontogenic pain.Conclusion: Data from this study help in quantifying the frequency of odontogenic versus nonodontogenic reasons for persistent pain following RCT.

▼ An aberrant immune response to injury has been implicated in the pathogenesis of complex regional
pain syndrome (CRPS). However, there has been very little investigation of the normal response to injury, and no investigation of the potential relationship between acute inflammation after injury and the known risk factors for CRPS. The central aim of this thesis was to address this gap, thereby facilitating the investigation of the role of acute inflammation in the subsequent development of CRPS.Study 1 used a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify the immune markers associated with CRPS. Study 2 applied Rasch analysis to examine the psychometric properties of the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS-21), the most suitable tool for a subsequent study, but one that has not been fully tested. Study 3 was an experiment designed to measure the effect of blood sample type and thaw-freeze cycles on cytokine concentrations. Study 4 replicated the sampling and analysis methods of Study 3, in a cross-sectional study of 240 blood samples, to characterise inflammation in the first 28 days after a fracture. Study 5 was a cross-sectional study designed to investigate the relationships between acute inflammation after a fracture and the risk factors for the development of CRPS. This thesis showed that established CRPS is associated with a pro-inflammatory cytokine balance and revealed new information about different inflammatory profiles that are associated with different durations of the disorder. By applying best practice methods, based on the outcomes of Studies 2 and 3, this thesis showed that in the acute
post-fracture stage, the chemokines IP-10 and eotaxin are associated with
pain intensity, which is reported to be the strongest predictor of who will develop CRPS. By characterising the normal response to a fracture, the most common risk factor for CRPS, and relating it to other risk factors for CRPS, the current thesis provides the critical platform from which to investigate the relationship between acute stage inflammation and the subsequent development of CRPS.

▼ Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Veterinária
A identificação da dor animal é um aspecto com cada vez maior importância na produção animal, assim como o é minimizar os processos dolorosos ao longo de todos os procedimentos de produção. Quando não for possível eliminar esses estímulos dolorosos, deve ser dada prioridade à devida analgesia.
Um desses procedimentos dolorosos é a cirurgia, neste caso, a cirurgia correctiva de deslocamento de abomaso à esquerda. Como não é possível eliminar os estímulos dolorosos resultantes da cirurgia, o que nos resta é proceder à devida analgesia pós-cirúrgica. O objectivo deste trabalho foi perceber se a administração de carprofeno possui maior duração de analgesia do que a flunixina meglumina no maneio de dor pós-cirúrgico na correcção de Deslocamento de Abomaso à Esquerda (DAE). O carprofeno, tal como a flunixina meglumina, é um anti-inflamatório não esteróide, mas é menos utilizado na analgesia pós-cirúrgica devido ao seu custo, apesar de possuir um tempo de semi-vida superior ao da flunixina meglumina.
O estudo foi realizado em 26 vacas de raça Holstein Frísia submetidas a correcção cirúrgica de DAE, que foram divididas em dois grupos: Grupo F (14 animais submetidos à administração de flunixina meglumina) e o Grupo C (12 animais submetidos à administração de carprofeno). A analgesia pós-cirúrgica foi avaliada utilizando parâmetros produtivos (produção leiteira nos 8 dias após a cirurgia) e utilizando parâmetros fisiológicos (corpos cetónicos por mensuração de β-hidroxibutiratos sanguíneos no dia 1, 2 e 4).
Concluiu-se que não existem diferenças os entre fármacos na analgesia pós-cirúrgica na correcção de DAE, e que para obter resultados mais fidedignos mais estudo serão necessários no futuro.
ABSTRACT - Post-surgical analgesia adjustments left-side displacement of the abomasum -
The identification of animal pain is an aspect with growing importance in animal production, as well as minimize the painful processes across all production procedures. When it´s not possible the elimination of the painful stimuli, the analgesia must be prioritized.
One of this painful procedures is surgery, in this case, the corrective surgery of the left displaced abomasums (LDA). It is appropriate to perform postoperative analgesia since the elimination of painful stimuli resulting from surgery cannot be done. The objective of this work was to understand if the administration of carprofen has a longer duration of analgesia than the administration of flunixin meglumine in the management of postoperative pain in surgical correction of LDA. Carprofen, as flunixin meglumine, is an anti-inflammatory non esteriod, but it’s less is used, for postoperative analgesia, because of its cost, despite having a half-life greater than flunixin meglumine.
The study was conducted on 26 Holstein Friesian cows undergoing surgical correction of LDA, which were divided into two groups: Group F (submitted to the administration of flunixin meglumine) and Group C (submitted to the administration of…

▼ Chronic Postsurgical
Pain (CPSP) remains a major clinical problem affecting on average 20% of all patients undergoing surgery. CPSP has a major impact on the quality of life of both the patients affected and their relatives, and leads to an increase in health care consumption and associated costs. Although clinical, psychological and demographical risk factors of CPSP have been identified, a good understanding of the genetic risk factors and its putative role in CPSP is still lacking to date. This thesis investigated the genetic risk factors of CPSP and the functional effects of genetic variation on nociception and chronic
pain in both clinical and preclinical studies. It was shown that there is a central modulatory role for dopaminergic neurotransmission in both prevention and treatment of CPSP. This has been further studied in a preclinical zebrafish model whereby genetic and pharmacological modulation confirmed the therapeutic potential of dopamine in nociception and
pain. Furthermore, the thesis reported the first genome-wide association study on CPSP in which a potential risk locus was identified, although not genome-wide significant, for CPSP (IQGAP1 and CRTC3). Furthermore it was shown that there is genetic overlap across different peripheral
pain syndromes and the underlying mechanisms are associated with immunological and neuronal processes. Lastly, through transcriptome-wide mendelian randomization the research identified several genes potentially causally associated with CPSP based on gene expression. Further analysis of these genes further confirmed the involvement of both immune and neuronal processes. The studies in this thesis form a first step in future use of genetic (pre-operative) screening to minimize development and occurrence of chronic
post surgical pain.

▼ Persistent arm pain, a distinct syndrome from persistent breast pain, is a considerable clinical problem following breast cancer surgery. The roles of neurotransmitters and neurotransmitter genes have been examined in persistent neuropathic pain; however, genetic associations have not been examined in the setting of breast cancer surgery. In this study, associations between previously identified arm pain classes (i.e., No Arm Pain vs. Mild Arm Pain and No Arm Pain vs. Moderate Arm Pain) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) over 30 candidate neurotransmitter genes were evaluated. After multivariate logistic regression analyses for phenotypic characteristics, 4 SNPs and 1 haplotype remained significant between the No Arm Pain and Mild Arm Pain classes: 1 SNP in BDNF (i.e., rs11030102), 1 SNP in COMT (i.e., rs4633), 1 haplotype in HTR2A (i.e., Haplotype B02), 1 SNP for HTR3A (i.e., rs1985242), and 1 SNP in TH (i.e., rs2070762). Between the No Arm Pain and Moderate Arm Pain classes, 9 SNPs remained significant: 1 SNP in BDNF (i.e., rs2049046), 1 SNP in COMT (i.e., rs165656), 2 SNPs in HTR2A (i.e., rs2770298 and rs9534511), 1 SNP in HTR3A (i.e., rs1985242), 1 SNP in NOS2A (i.e., rs2248814), 1 SNP in NPY (i.e., rs16148), 1 SNP in SLC6A1 (i.e., rs2601126), and 1 SNP in TACR1 (i.e., rs4439987). These findings suggest meaningful impact of neurotransmitter genes on the development of persistent arm pain following breast cancer surgery.

▼ peer-reviewed
Rotator cuff (RC) tendinopathy is a common cause of shoulder pain, and can result in significant and prolonged pain and disability in adults. Surgical interventions to treat RC tendinopathy are costly and invasive, with conservative management primarily involving exercise therapy demonstrating at least equivalent effectiveness. However, conflicting opinions and evidence regarding the aetiology of this disorder has led to a lack of specificity of rehabilitation programmes or surgical approaches.
Proposed mechanism of RC tendinopathy are: extrinsic mechanisms, which describes external compression of the RC tendons from the coracoacromial arch; or intrinsic mechanisms, which includes factors directly influencing tendon health such as loading, genetics and ageing. This thesis examined the interaction between two factors i.e. acromiohumeral distance (AHD), and supraspinatus tendon (SsT) thickness, representing extrinsic and intrinsic factors respectively.
Chapter 2 of this thesis describes a series of methodological studies, examining reliability and validity of these measures. These studies demonstrated that ultrasound imaging can be used to undertake reliable and valid measures of AHD and reliable measures of SsT thickness in both RC tendinopathy and painfree populations. As part of a study examining the validity of AHD measurement, a novel shoulder ultrasound phantom was developed which has potential to act as a training tool for shoulder ultrasound examinations and/or injections.
The studies in Chapter 3 examined differences in AHD and SsT thickness in a group of people with RC tendinopathy compared to painfree controls, both cross-sectionally and also in response to a bout of fatigue loading. Acromiohumeral distance is not significantly reduced in those with painful RC tendinopathy (without RC tears) compared to controls. However, the SsT was found to be thicker in those with moderately or severely painful RC tendinopathy, potentially indicating primary intrinsic tendon changes. Additionally, the thickened tendon led to an overall increased subacromial occupation ratio, which may contribute to secondary extrinsic tendon compression. In RC tendinopathy, fatigue loading results in a prolonged (>6hours) reduction in AHD and an increase in SsT thickness, compared to findings of a transient change in AHD (<6 hours) and miminal reduction in tendon thickness in painfree controls.
While undertaking research to provide evidence for practice is critical to building the knowledge base in physiotherapy, a further important consideration is how this knowledge is translated to, and used in, clinical practice. Chapter 5 of this thesis describes the delivery and evaluation of a Community of Practice (CoP) within Primary Care physiotherapists, focused on improving evidence-based knowledge translation in shoulder pain. This qualitative study found that the CoP therapists gained multiple benefits from their involvement including peer support, increased use of research evidence, and increased confidence in their…

▼ AbstractBackgroundResearch has identified that sleep and
pain have a bidirectional relationship. Understanding this relationship specifically between chronic low back
pain (LBP) and sleep may lead to improved management of painful conditions such as chronic LBP and postoperative
pain. As
pain is typically more difficult to manage the longer it persists; an advantageous approach to management of chronic
pain may be to intervene early to prevent the transition from an acute episode to a chronic problem. Targeting sleep during an acute episode of
pain may provide an option to accelerate recovery and prevent chronicity. MethodsThis project included 3 studies. The first study used a cross-sectional design to investigate the bi-directional relationship between chronic LBP
pain and sleep. Correlations were used to determine whether
pain intensity during the day was associated with differences in sleep architecture and whether these differences were associated with
pain intensity the following day. The second study used a systematic review with meta-analysis to investigate whether managing sleep in the acute postoperative period improved postoperative
pain.The third study was a pilot randomised controlled trial that investigated the feasibility of managing sleep in participants with acute low back
pain. ResultsThis research found that: 1.For people with LBP, slow wave sleep (SWS) and sleep quality were significantly associated with next day
pain intensity such that people with LBP who spent less time in SWS reported both higher
pain intensity the following day and worse sleep quality for the same night. 2. Hypnotic drugs in combination with other analgesics significantly improve
pain and sleep
post-operatively, however the effects were modest. 3. The pilot study identified barriers to recruitment necessary to address in a large trial in order to ensure completion in a practical timeframe, in a sample of Australian primary care practitioners. Those enrolled found the questionnaires suitable and the follow-up rates were good. ConclusionsThis research is a useful platform to better understand the complex relationship between
pain and sleep. It provides a guide for future research in the area. Enhancing sleep quality continues to be a potentially undervalued resource in improving LBP and postoperative
pain.

▼ Background:
Post-operative wound infections have been found to pose a major problem in the
field of surgery for a long time. Advances in control of infections have not completely eradicated
this problem because of development of drug resistance. This condition is serious in developing
countries where irrational prescription of antimicrobial agents is common.
Objective: To determine the distribution of common aerobic bacteria in
post-
surgical wound
infected patients and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns.
Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out in a total of 194 patients with
post surgical wound infections at Hawassa Teaching and Referral Hospital, from November 2010
to March 2011. Physicians collected data on socio-demography and clinical profiles using
designed formats. Moreover, pus swabs were collected, processed and cultured using the standard
bacteriological methods. Isolated organisms were tested for pattern of antimicrobial susceptibility
using the standard disk diffusion method. The data were entered in to a computer and analyzed
using SPSS Version-16 software.
Results: The prevalence of aerobic bacteria was 71.1%, and majority of the isolates (59.3 %) were
Gram-negative organisms. The most frequently isolated aerobic bacteria was S. aureus (37.3%),
followed by E .coli (25.4%) and Klebsiella species (13.6%). All bacterial isolates were resistant to
at least one antibiotic, and 86.4 % were resistant to more than one antibiotic (multiple drug
resistance).
Conclusion: Single and multiple drug resistance to the commonly used antibiotics in the study
area was found to be very high leaving clinicians with a very few choices of drugs for the
treatment of
post surgical wound infected patients. Therefore, it is critical that use of antimicrobial
agents with in hospitals, public healthcare providers as well as private ones should be reviewed
and further studies to find out the overall resistance patterns and their possible causes and
associated factors in the region at large need to be carried out.

▼ Mindfulness is a way of managing chronic pain and its consequences as it fosters anaccepting approach to pain that can be beneficial in several aspects of life affected bypain. This study sought to examine whether an online mindfulness training programcould reduce the experience of pain, increase acceptance of pain, and increase qualityof life in a group of individuals suffering from chronic pain. The study was arandomized controlled trial with a partly active control group. Initially 52 participantswere randomized to the intervention group and 55 to the control group. The drop outrates were high, 21 participants from the intervention group and 40 participants fromthe control group completed post measurement. Increased levels of mindfulness,reduced pain related distress, and heightened pain acceptance, as well as increasedquality of life, was observed in the intervention group. A strong tendency towards aperceived reduction of pain intensity was also evident in the intervention group. Asthe mindfulness program had positive effects on the overall experience of pain it mayserve as a cost‐effective and useful method of dealing with chronic pain.
Mindfulness är ett sätt att hantera kronisk smärta och dess konsekvenser då det lär uten accepterande inställning till smärta som kan vara till hjälp i flera aspekter av livetpåverkade av smärta. Denna studie undersökte huruvida ett online‐baseratmindfulnessprogram kunde minska upplevelsen av smärta, öka acceptans av smärtaoch öka livskvaliteten hos en grupp individer med kronisk smärta. Studien varrandomiserad och kontrollerad med en delvis aktiv kontrollgrupp. Initialtrandomiserades 52 deltagare till experimentgruppen och 55 deltagare tillkontrollgruppen. Bortfallet var högt, 21 deltagare från experimentgruppen och 40deltagare från kontrollgruppen fullgjorde eftermätningarna. Ökade nivåer avmindfulness, reducerat smärtrelaterat lidande, ökad acceptans av smärta såväl somökad livskvalitet återfanns i experimentgruppen. En stark tendens till minskadupplevd smärtintensitet var också tydlig hos experimentgruppen. Dåmindfulnessprogrammet hade positiva effekter på den övergripande upplevelsen avsmärta kan det fungera som en kostnadseffektiv och användbar metod att hanterakronisk smärta.

▼ Objectives: Pain is known to reduce quality of life. Concurrently, it is believed that orofacial pain reduces the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). While the impact that painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD) have on OHRQoL has been well described, little has been reported about the impact of acute dental pain (ADP). Moreover, the impact of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and persistent dentoalveolar pain disorder (PDAP) on OHRQoL has not been reported yet. The aim of this study was, therefore, to compare the OHRQoL impairment among four orofacial pain conditions, i.e., participant with TMD, ADP, TN, and PDAP and compare the results with people without orofacial pain. Methods: OHRQoL was measured using the OHIP-49 questionnaire, using a convenience sample of four orofacial pain conditions (pain groups with TMD (n=30), ADP (n=27), TN (n=21), PDAP (n=16)). To provide a frame of reference for pain-related OHRQoL impairment, we also included a group of pain-free control participants (n=20). The mean OHIP-49 summary score, with its 95% confidence interval (95% CI), described the level of impact. The differences in mean values across the four pain conditions were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The second part of the analysis was performed by comparing the OHIP-49 mean score of each condition and the OHIP mean score of the control group using Student's two sample t-test. Finally the absolute score differences between groups were judged according to: the Minimal Important Difference (MID) and the Effect sizes (ES).Results: OHRQoL was measured using OHIP-49 in a convenience sample of four conditions (patient groups with orofacial pain; TMD (n=30), acute dental pain (n=27), TN (n=21), PDAP (n=16)). Our results showed significant impairment in the OHRQoL for the four conditions compared to the control group. The mean OHIP-49 score (95% CI) was 60.8 (48-74) for TMD, 61 (48-74) for ADP, 58 (41-75) for TN, and 66 (46-86) for PDAP. For comparison purposes, the mean OHIP-49 score (95% CI) was 8 (3-13) for the pain free group. The difference was statistically significant and clinically relevant between pain groups and the control group (all comparisons: P<0.001). Each of the four orofacial pain conditions had similar levels of impact on the OHRQoL when compared to each other. Using the Minimum Important Deference (MID) there was a clinical significance between chronic conditions (TMD, TN, PDAP) and the ADP (11 (-6 to 28), 8.4 (-11 to 28), and 17(-4 to 37)) respectively, also a clinical significance between the four orofacial conditions and the control group was detected. A moderate effect size was detected between participants with PDAP and ADP (ES=0.5, 95%CI (-0.1 to 1.1)). Conclusion: Our data supported the hypothesis that orofacial pain conditions have a substantial impact and adversely affect the quality of life of participants with four orofacial pain conditions as compared to those with no pain.

▼ In response to the growing chronic
pain epidemic amongst adults age 60 and older (AGS Panel on Chronic
Pain in Older Persons, 1998; Ardrey, Herr, Titler, Sorofman, & Schmitt, 2003; Morlin, et al., 2008), this study conducted a feasibility pilot of an innovative eHealth service in an effort to address the need to deliver a cost-effective, easily disseminateable, empirically based chronic
pain treatment program to this often underserved population (Robinson, 2007; Landi, Onder, Cesari, et al., 2001; Won, Lapane, Gambassi, et al., 1999; Sengstaken & King, 1993). Consistent with the goals and procedures of Stage 1 behavioral treatment development research (McNamara et al., 2002; Rounsaville, Carroll, & Onken, 2001), this study had four primary aims: 1) develop the www.treatyourpain.com Internet treatment program; 2) evaluate hypothesized mechanisms of change by examining the extent to which the intervention enhanced individual coping skill acquisition and health promoting behavior; 3) evaluate the degree to which this program promoted improvements in overall
pain related health status; and 4) assess participant acceptance of the treatment. Additional project goals included establishing the necessary sample size to conduct future randomized controlled trials and examine the cost-effectiveness of the intervention. To this end, we employed a randomized controlled feasibility trial design. The preliminary results of the study suggest that participants in the intervention experimental condition improved more significantly than those in the control condition on measures of overall health status, coping skill acquisition, and implementation of health promoting behaviors. This study provides preliminary evidence that an Internet-based chronic
pain treatment program tailored specifically to the needs of older adults is both plausible and cost-effective as a first line treatment for this high utilizing population. The individuals who received the experimental condition reported significantly higher levels of satisfaction with and acceptance of the services they received compared to individuals in the control condition. Using a simple advertising strategy, the study was able to efficiently recruit enough web-traffic to meet our sample requirement. Additionally, once services began the study maintained an impressive 100% retention rate. Both of these particulars confirm that older adults are willing to seek out and receive psychological treatment over the Internet. Furthermore, providing tailored psychological treatment services over the Internet was found to offer substantial incremental cost effectiveness when compared to the estimated costs of face-to-face psychological care and the leading online
pain website that served as this studies control. The implications from this study and future research directions are discussed.

▼ Background: Persistent postsurgical pain (PPP) is an increasingly recognised complication of surgery. Various putative risk factors have been identified over the last ten years. However the prevention of this phenomenon has proven difficult. I studied PPP following cardiac surgery to identify both means of prediction and prevention. Methods: With ethics committee approval, I followed up 312 patients undergoing cardiac surgery over a six-month period in our hospitals. This established pilot data and allowed power calculation for the following prospective studies: 1. Randomised controlled trial (RCT) of pregabalin alone (P) or pregabalin combined with ketamine (PK), as compared to usual care (UC) for the prevention of PPP. 2. Quantitative Sensory testing before and after surgery, to identify central nervous system changes predictive of PPP, as well as any protective effect of P and PK in the active arms. Patients were risk stratified into vulnerable and resilient phenotypes, with the use of dynamic pain assessments of Conditioned Pain Modulation (CPM), Temporal Summation (TS) and Zone of Hyperalgesia (ZoH.) Results: In the observational pilot cohort, 39.7% of patients described PPP following elective first-time cardiac surgery. The age of the patient, duration of surgery and acute pain during the recovery period all seemed to act as strong predictors for the development of PPP in this cohort study. In the prospective RCT, pregabalin was protective for future PPP. The study demonstrated a significant improvement in PPP; OR= 0.11 and 0.046, for groups P and PK respectively at three months, as compared to the UC group. The addition of ketamine to pregabalin, as part of a multimodal regimen, had no significant effect on PPP outcomes in this trial. Tolerability of both drugs on the first day of treatment was an issue. As an example, NNH (Number Needed to Harm) for diplopia was equal to 6.3 and 4.5, in P and PK respectively. This failed to impact on recovery, however, with improvements in median length of stay of 1 and 1.5 days respectively (p=0.023 and 0.002.) The powerful and protective effects of pregabalin in the perioperative period are demonstrated by: 1. Increases in pressure pain threshold (PPT) at a site remote to the incision 2. Prevention of the development of new TS 3. Reduction in the zone of peri-incisional hyperalgesia The likelihood of developing PPP in any cardiac surgical patient may be predicted by a combination of the following perioperative risk factors: 1. Perioperative QST markers of new TS and increased ZoH, at the site of surgical incision, as well as decreased PPT remote to the incision. 2. Inefficiency of CPM 3. Poor preoperative quality of life, measured with EQ-5D 4. Increased levels of state anxiety and catastrophising 5. Young age 6. Surgical risk factors of increased duration of surgery and poorly managed acute pain - but not surgical technique and extent of dissection. Conclusion: This study suggests a potential to risk-stratify cardiac surgery patients and allow targeted preventive…

▼ INTRODUCTION: Cleaning and shaping are necessary to allow for the delivery of irrigants and medicaments to the apical third of the canal. Standard treatment irrigation generally uses a conventional needle and some frequency of sonic activation. The GentleWave® system (GWS) (Sonendo, Inc, Laguna Hills, CA) combines irrigant delivery with Multisonic activation. The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to determine if the GWS significantly decreases the incidence and intensity of post-operative pain. METHODS: Patients used a numerical rating scale (NRS) to record their pain level at the six-hour timepoint before treatment. All participants were randomly divided into two groups and were blind to the treatment they received. The standard (control) group received endodontic treatment with conventional side-vented needle irrigation and ultrasonic activation. The 2nd group received treatment with the GWS. Following treatment, patients used an NRS to record their pain level at six, 24, 72, and 168 hours RESULTS: 72.2% of standard treatment patients and 83.3% of GWS patients experienced at least one occurrence of post-operative pain. The highest pain intensity level for both treatments occurred at the six-hour post-treatment timepoint. The mean pain intensity for standard treatment was 23.22 (+/- 25.38) and for GWS treatment intensity = 11.56 (+/- 9.94) (p = 0.0826). All pain decreased with time after the six-hour post-treatment time point (p < 0.0000001237). CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference in the incidence or intensity of post-operative pain following either treatment group. However, both groups reported a statistically significant decrease in pain with time.

▼ The aim of the study was the objective determination of surgical stress and post-operative pain through the assessment of stress hormones and patient discomfort as well as to evaluate the stress hormone response after pelvic surgery performed by laparoscopy versus laparotomy. Patients: This was a retrospective matched case control study of women that underwent myomectomy. For that cause a total of 65 patients were included in the cohort; of these 30 patients were treated with laparoscopic myomectomy, 30 with open surgery and 5 were excluded due to exclusion criteria such as different surgery outcome, blood transfusion etc. The fibroids location included submucosal, subserosal and intramural myomas, while the maximum diameter of the fibroids was 10 cm and the total amount was up to 3. Patients complained about a wide range of symptoms such as pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, infertility, prolonged periods, pain during intercourse, frequent urination etc. Their BMI ranged from 18 to 40. The mean duration of the operations was 90 mins. The postoperative hospital stay ranged from 1 to 3 days. Exclusion criteria involved allergies, endometriosis, endocrine disorders, previous laparotomy, fibroid number of more than 3 and diameter of more than 10 cm. All surgical procedures were performed by the same surgical team and the surgical technique in both open and laparoscopic surgery was identical. Methodology: Three venous blood samples were received from each patient. The first one was collected before surgery, the second at the end of the surgical procedure after extubation with the patient awake and the third on the morning of the first post-operative day. The blood samples were centrifuged, tagged and stored in deep freeze conditions. They were finally measured together to avoid inter-assay & intra-assay variation. We evaluated intraoperative and postoperative variations of the following stress related markers: adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), cortisole, noradrenalin and b-endorphin. Furthermore, a questionnaire was completed the first post-operative day where patients were asked to indicate the level of pain they were experiencing through a Visual Analog Scale of Pain (VAS). Results: Patient mean age was 37.9±5.66 and 39.53±4.82 for laparoscopy and laparotomy groups respectively (p=NS). Patient BMI was 23.6±4.25 and 26.20±5.88 in the laparoscopy and laparotomy groups respectively (p=NS). Operation time was 86.67 ±25.87 min in the laparoscopy group and 70.67±23.81 min in the laparotomy one (p=.028). The mean number of fibroids was 1.57±0.73 and 1.63±0.89 and the mean volume was 171.37±100.63 cm 3 and 202.77±127.49 cm3 (p=NS) in the laparoscopy and laparotomy groups respectively. Cortisol is differentiated before, after and on the 1st postoperative day in both groups. In laparotomy there is a clear difference in its expression before (13.7 ± 7.54 μg / ml, p <0.05) but also after (19.85 ± 10.31μg / ml, p = 0.05) the operation. There was no statistically significant difference in…

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
The purpose of this study was twofold: First to assess the impact of persistent (chronic) abdominal pain on patients, carers, health professionals and the health care service within a large tertiary referral hospital in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Second to examine ways in which the current model of care could be improved. The study employed a four-phase sequential, explanatory, mixed methods design. The study involved all major stakeholders: patients, carers and heath care professionals. There were a total of 112 participants involved in the study: seven patients, six carers, and 95 clinicians, representing 15 clinical specialities, including 10 general practitioners (GPs) and four health service administrators. Findings from this study highlight the challenges and frustrations experienced by all stakeholders. Preliminary recommendations are made in relation to the broad principles and essential elements that participants considered necessary for a revised model of care to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes for the current and emergent patient cohorts with persistent abdominal pain.

▼ AbstractThe Multidimensional Characteristics of Persistent Pain in Adults with Sickle Cell DiseaseLou Ella V. Taylor Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a major healthcare and societal problem that affects millions of people worldwide. Sickle cell pain is the hallmark feature of SCD and includes manageable and unmanageable persistent pain that affects every aspect of an individual's life. Most of the research on pain in SCD has focused on children with acute vaso-occlusive episodes. Consequently, significant gaps exist in our knowledge of the occurrence and characteristics of manageable and unmanageable persistent pain in adults with SCD. The specific aims of this study in a sample of adults with SCD were to: 1) determine the occurrence of persistent SCD pain and compare those with manageable and unmanageable persistent SCD pain on demographic and clinical characteristics, as well as, pain-related measures; 2) compare those with manageable and unmanageable persistent SCD pain on coping strategies; and 3) determine which factors influence quality of life (QOL) in these patients. One hundred and three patients who were ≥18 years with SCD completed questionnaires on demographic, clinical, and pain characteristics, as well as, the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), the Duke Religious Index (DRI), and the Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form (SF-36). Patients were divided into those with manageable (average pain intensity ≤5) and unmanageable pain (average pain intensity >5) based on established cutpoints. Final analyses were done on 94 patients. Seventy percent of patients had manageable pain and 30% had unmanageable pain. Patients with unmanageable pain reported higher ratings for all of the items on the Pain Quality Assessment Scale (PQAS); were more likely to be taking only a short-acting opioid; reported less relief from analgesic medications, and reported significantly lower SF-36 scores. Significant negative correlations were found between pain catastrophizing and religiosity/spirituality, and physical and mental health. Several variables were found to have an influence on QOL. These findings suggest that persistent pain in adults with SCD is a significant problem. More research needs to evaluate how adults with SCD cope with persistent pain and its impact on their QOL.
