Background: People with chronic pain (CP) sometimes report impaired cognitive function, including a deficit of attention, memory, executive planning, and information processing. However, the association between CP and cognitive decline was still not clear. Our study aimed to assess the association of CP as a risk factor with cognitive decline among adults.Methods: We included data from clinical studies. Publications were identified using a systematic search strategy from PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases from inception to October 10, 2020. We used the mean cognitive outcome data and the standard deviations from each group. The standardized mean difference (SMD) or odds ratio (OR), and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were performed for each cognitive decline outcome. I2-values were assessed to quantify the heterogeneities.Results: We included 37 studies with a total of 52,373 patients with CP and 80,434 healthy control participants. Because these studies used different evaluative methods, we analyzed these studies. The results showed CP was associated with cognitive decline when the short-form 36 health survey questionnaire (SF-36) mental component summary (SMD = −1.50, 95% CI = −2.19 to −0.81), the Montreal cognitive assessment (SMD = −1.11, 95% CI = −1.60 to −0.61), performance validity testing (SMD = 3.05, 95% CI = 1.74 to 4.37), or operation span (SMD = −1.83, 95% CI = −2.98 to −0.68) were used. However, we got opposite results when the studies using International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems classification (OR = 1.58, 95% CI = 0.97 to 2.56), the Mini-Mental State Examination (SMD = −0.42, 95% CI = −0.94 to 0.10; OR = 1.14, 95% CI = 0.91 to 1.42), and Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status memory component (SMD = −0.06, 95% CI = −0.37 to 0.25).Conclusion: There may be an association between CP and the incidence of cognitive decline when some cognitive, evaluative methods were used, such as short-form 36 health survey questionnaire, Montreal cognitive assessment, performance validity testing, and operation span.

Abstract.SIMULATION OF SYMPTOMS IN PATIENTS WITH FIBROMYALGIAIn this paper we find a study about the variable of simulation of symptoms in fibromyalgia syndrome regarding to other psychological variables such as quality of life, depression, anxiety as well as gradation of pain. The study was performed with 40 patients, all diagnosed with fibromyalgia by the criteria of the American Rheumatology Association. The instruments used were the Structured Inventory of Malingered Symptomatology (SIMS), the Graded Chronic Pain Scale and SF-36 Health Survey (SF-36v2). The results show that there is a relationship between the simulation of symptoms and chronic pain but not with quality of life. The simulation of symptoms in patients with fibromyalgia is a very complex phenomenon that depends on several methods of control among which it is possible to emphasize the use of screening like the SIMS supported with important physical and psychological examinations by experts.Key words: Fibromyalgia, chronic pain, symptom simulation.Resumen.En el presente trabajo encontramos un estudio sobre la variable simulación de síntomas en pacientes con fibromialgia en relación con otras variables psicológicas como calidad de vida, depresión y ansiedad al igual que la gradación del dolor.

Los instrumentos utilizados fueron, el Inventario Estructurado de Simulación de síntomas (SIMS), el Graded Chronic Pain Scale y el SF-36 Health Survey (SF-36v2) o Cuestionario autogestionado de Salud SF-36. Los resultados expuestos muestran que existen relación entre la simulación de síntomas dolor crónico pero no con la calidad de vida. La simulación de síntomas en pacientes con fibromialgia es un fenómeno muy complejo que depende de varios métodos de control entre los que cabe destacar la utilización de screening como el SIMS apoyados con importantes exámenes físicos y psicológicos por expertos.Palabras clave: Fibromialgia, dolor crónico, simulación de síntomas.

Background: Many pain scales exist today; however, a comprehensive, easy-to-analyze test has yet to be available to evaluate a patient’s pain and understand the sociocultural, cognitive, and affective factors contributing to a patient’s overall pain experience. Many scales have attempted to create an all-encompassing pain assessment but remain incomplete in their assessment of pain and the contributing aspects of pain. Objective: To present the Global Pain Scale (GPS) as an alternative to current pain assessments and evaluate the reliability and construct validity of the GPS. Methods: Two hundred sixty-two undergraduates with chronic pain at a large midwestern university participated in this survey study. Participants reported in which of 14 specific body regions they have pain, the frequency of pain, and treatment history for their pain. Participants completed 4 scales— GPS, the West Haven Yale Scale (WHY), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and the short form McGill (SF-MPQ) — in a randomized order. Results: The GPS demonstrated high criterion validity and high construct validity (including both convergent and discriminant validity). The total GPS scale and each of the subscales were reliable. The total GPS score was significantly correlated with all other subscales, excluding those for which there is a theoretical reason for them to not be correlated with our participant population. Limitations: A sample of college students was used, thus decreasing the generalizability of these findings to patients approximating our sample. Conclusions: The GPS is a valid scale that is concise and easily interpreted. The GPS is a comprehensive assessment of pain evaluating pain, emotions, clinical outcomes, and daily activities. This may be a valuable tool for evaluation and treatment planning for interventional pain management physicians. Key words: chronic pain, pain assessment comprehensive pain scale, pain scales

Reduction Of Pain

The measurement of pain levels is made differently depending if acute or chronic pain is diagnosed, objective (e.g. cortisol, prolactin, serotonin, catecholamines, or the cardiac frequency and arterial pressure evaluation) or subjective methods being imagined. All subjective methods are including questionnaires and specific additional methods. The aim was the verifying the effectiveness of drug and physiotherapy combinations by using an owner based questionnaire for the chronic patients and a veterinary professional based questionnaire for the acute pain patient group. In this study a total of 20 dogs with observable pain were selected and two groups (n = 10 / group), constituted: G1 - chronic pain, and G2 - acute pain. The treatment of dogs with acute signs of pain was made oral or injectable with NSAIDs administration and for dogs with signs of chronic pain, physiotherapy treatment and drug therapy was administered. The owners of the dogs with chronic pain received the HCPI questionnaire in order to evaluate their dog’s pain level subjectively. For the dogs with acute pain the veterinarian filled out the short form of Glasgow Composite Measure Pain Scale (CMPS-SF). After initiating a Paired t-test in Excel 2010 with the scores obtained with HCPI and CMPS-SF, there was observed a significant reduction of pain after associated drug administration and physiotherapy and no significant evidence of acute pain after drug therapy. The used physiotherapy and drug combinations delivered a significant reduction of chronic pain, both clinically and visually mirrored in score reduction after treatments. The HCPI questionnaire could be considered a valuable tool for evaluating chronic pain in patients in the clinic environment. The CMPS-SF has also proven to be a very useful questionnaire in diagnose of acute pain and evaluation of the effectiveness of drug therapy used.

Zusammenfassung. Der Short-Form Health Survey SF-8 ist ein Instrument zur Messung der gesundheitsbezogenen Lebensqualität, einem wichtigen Outcomekriterium klinischer Studien und in den Gesundheitswissenschaften. Das Instrument ist eine Kurzform des häufig verwendeten SF-36, mit dem acht Dimensionen der subjektiven Gesundheit gemessen sowie zwei Summenskalen Körperlicher und Psychischer Gesundheit berechnet werden können. Der SF-8 wurde im Jahr 2004 im Rahmen einer bundesweit durchgeführten Mehrthemenbefragung eingesetzt. Basierend auf diesen Daten können erstmalig repräsentative Normdaten zum SF-8 (N = 2552) aus einer schriftlichen Befragung für die deutsche Bevölkerung vorgelegt werden. Die Referenzdaten werden alters- sowie geschlechtsdifferenziert berichtet und auf Zusammenhänge mit soziodemografischen Merkmalen analysiert. Seltene fehlende Werte in den Antworten weisen auf eine gute Akzeptanz des Instruments hin. Auch wenn der SF-8 in verschiedenen Subskalen mit Deckeneffekten behaftet ist, kann sein Einsatz aufgrund seiner Ökonomie empfohlen werden.
