Thyroid cysts are usually benign lesions that when voluminous may induce cosmetic concerns or local discomfort. Percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI) has been demonstrated to be effective for shrinkage of such cysts. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the efficacy, pain perception, and health-related quality of life (HRQL) in patients submitted to PEI for pure cystic lesions. We reviewed the data of 101 patients who underwent ≤3 PEI. In the whole group of patients, the volume reduction was 66% after the first, 74.4% after the second, and 79.4% after the third PEI treatment. 55.4% had a cystic volume ≤ 10 ml; 85.7% of cysts ≤ 10 ml were cured by just one PEI. The number of PEI was significantly higher in the >30.0 ml group; this latter group obtained the smallest percent reduction versus baseline after the first PEI when compared with smaller cysts. The sensation of pain reported during PEI was absent in 78.3% of cases, and HRQL significantly improved from pre- to the posttreatment. PEI is a safe and effective technique for pure cystic lesions. In addition, HRQL significantly improves, providing a further support for this procedure.

Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome Type 2 (PSPS-T2), (Failed Back Surgery Syndrome), dramatically impacts on patient quality of life, as evidenced by Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) assessment tools. However, the importance of functioning, pain perception and psychological status in HRQoL can substantially vary between subjects. Our goal was to extract patient profiles based on HRQoL dimensions in a sample of PSPS-T2 patients and to identify factors associated with these profiles. Two classes were clearly identified using a mixture of mixed effect models from a clinical data set of 200 patients enrolled in “PREDIBACK”, a multicenter observational prospective study including PSPS-T2 patients with one-year follow-up. We observed that HRQoL was more impacted by functional disability for first class patients (n = 136), and by pain perception for second class patients (n = 62). Males that perceive their work as physical were more impacted by disability than pain intensity. Lower education level, lack of adaptive coping strategies and higher pain intensity were significantly associated with HRQoL being more impacted by pain perception. The identification of such classes allows for a better understanding of HRQoL dimensions and opens the gate towards optimized health-related quality of life evaluation and personalized pain management.

Abstract Background and Objectives Clear aligner is an advanced orthodontic method with benefits of comfort, aesthetics, and convenience. This study aimed to compare pain perception, anxiety, and impacts on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) between adult patients receiving clear aligners and fixed appliances during the initial stage of orthodontic treatments. Material and Methods The two groups were well matched by ages, gender, and levels of malocclusion severity. Pain perception, anxiety, and OHRQoL were assessed through visual analogue scale, state-trait anxiety inventory, and oral health impact profile-14 (OHIP-14), respectively. And the comparison of above scores was performed by two-way analysis of variance. Results A total of 110 patients (55 pairs) were enrolled in this study. Orthodontic pain levels peaked on the first day and decreased gradually afterwards in both groups, which were significantly higher in the fixed group on the first, second, fourth, and fifth days. Likewise, anxiety levels peaked on the first day and decreased thereafter, with significant difference on the 1st, 3d, 5th, 7th, and 14th days. Moreover, the OHIP-14 scores increased and peaked on the first day and then gradually decreased for both groups, which were also significantly higher in the fixed group on the 1st, 7th, and 14th days. Limitations More malocclusion types should be used for group matching. The effect of exclusion of small groups should be taken into consideration in sample size calculation. Income was significantly unbalanced between two groups due to higher cost of clear aligners, and random assignment of treatment modalities was unfeasible. Conclusions Patients treated with clear aligners experienced lower pain levels, less anxiety, and higher OHRQoL as compared to those receiving fixed appliances.
