Essential Step

Understanding the predisposing factors that confer a greater risk of developing chronic pain is an essential step in pain prevention and management. This chapter focuses on current theoretical models that can inform prevention of paediatric pain and disability. We review the literature on known risk/protective factors, markers, correlates, and prognostic factors for the transition to chronic pain and disability across a variety of pain conditions. We distinguish between primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of pain prevention and discuss the clinical implications of this distinction.

Pediatric Chronic Pain

Understanding the predisposing factors that confer a greater or lesser risk of developing chronic, or persistent, pain is an essential step in chronic pain prevention and management. This chapter focuses on current theoretical models that can inform prevention of pediatric pain and disability. We review the literature on known risk/protective factors, markers, correlates, and prognostic factors for the transition to chronic pain and disability across a variety of pain conditions. We distinguish between primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of pain prevention and discuss the clinical implications of this distinction.

Resilience Mechanisms

Pain experiences, both acute and chronic, are common in infants, children, and adolescents. The aim of this chapter is to give an overview of different biopsychosocial pediatric pain models that address acute or chronic pain. Recent insights in neural processes are discussed, as well as psychosocial mechanisms across a child’s development. The crucial role of parents in different theoretical conceptualizations is highlighted. We emphasize that both risk factors for the development of chronic pain-related disability and resilience mechanisms for adaptive child functioning should be considered. Finally, clinical implications are outlined ensuing from the different theoretical models discussed in this chapter.

Case Vignettes

This chapter demonstrates the eight-step full-scale case conceptualization strategy using two case vignettes. The chapter summarizes the following eight-step strategy: Step 1: Specify presenting problem and precipitants; Step 2: Identify maladaptive pattern; Step 3: Identify predisposing factors and perpetuants; Step 4: Specify a cultural formulation; Step 5: Specify the client’s relevant protective factors and strengths; Step 6: Specify treatment goals; Step 7: Specify treatment interventions; and Step 8: Specify obstacles, challenges, and facilitators. The readers will formulate the cases through the full-scale case conceptualization worksheet and then will write a full-scale case conceptualization narrative for each case. Exemplar responses for each of the two case vignettes are provided.

Pain Chronification

Catastrophizing, or the tendency to emphasize and exaggerate the occurrence of negative consequences in a specific situation, has been shown to play an important role in the development and maintenance of chronic pain. Dynamically viewed as a contributor, mediator, and result of chronic pain suffering, catastrophizing has notable importance for clinicians treating patients’ comorbid chronic pain and mental illness. Exciting research on catastrophizing and neuroplasticity in persons with chronic pain promises to expand our understanding of pain catastrophizing, pain chronification, and cortical structural neuroplasticity in response to psychological interventions. This chapter provides a selective review of the assessment and neural correlates of pain catastrophizing as well as the role of catastrophizing as a prognostic factor for pain-related outcomes. The interactions between catastrophizing and chronic pain are also explored in the context of key comorbid mental conditions: depression and insomnia. Clinical implications for the practicing clinician are discussed.

Qualitative Literature

Abstract The study of resilience in an older adult population is expanding rapidly. However, most theoretical models of resilience have been developed with children or young to middle-aged adults. The objective of the present study was to review systematically the qualitative literature examining resilience in older adults, and to develop a comprehensive model of resilience in older adulthood. A qualitative meta-synthesis was conducted to review the qualitative literature examining resilience from older adults’ perspectives. An exhaustive search of the literature revealed 1,752 articles. From these articles, 34 studies meeting inclusion criteria were selected for analysis. Across the 34 studies analysed, eight themes were revealed as important for achieving resilience later in life: perseverance and determination, self-efficacy and independence, purpose and meaning, positive perspective, social support, faith and prayer, previous experience and being proactive. These themes can be organised into a four-factor model: (a) Intrapersonal Protective Factors; (b) Interpersonal Protective Factors; (c) Spiritual Protective Factors; and (d) Experiential Protective Factors. This study presents a new model of resilience in older adulthood that is grounded in qualitative literature and is relevant and appropriate for an older adult population. This research may be useful for clinicians, support workers and researchers working with older individuals through improving our understanding of what contributes to resilience later in life.

Blazhko Effect

AbstractWe provide the first detection of a frequency multiplet in the line profile variations of RR Lyrae. Performing a period analysis on 669 high resolution line profiles obtained with the spectrograph ELODIE at OHP, we clearly detect a multiplet structure, with a separation equal to the Blazhko frequency, around the main frequency and its harmonics. The triplet components are very prominent; additional observations are needed to decide about the existence of a quintuplet. The complete understanding of the origin of the Blazhko effect still needs further theoretical modelling and better observations. Our detection of the frequency multiplet in the line profile variations is a first essential step towards a decisive confrontation between the theoretical models and the observations.
