Pain intensity is a common outcome domain assessed in pain clinical trials. The patient’s self-report is the gold standard and it appears to be embedded in everyday clinical practice. Most often pain assessment is considered to be the cornerstone for ideal treatment.The aim of this study was to assess the dental patients’ level of pain using Full Cup Test (FCT) and Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), and to compare and validate the Full Cup Test in the assessment of orofacial pain with Numeric Pain Rating Scale.A total of sixty patients presenting with various forms of orofacial pain were included in this cross-sectional study. Data collected include the patient demographic details and the diagnosis of each case was made after proper history taking, clinical examination and radiographic investigation. Pain assessment was done for each patient using both numeric pain rating scale and full cup test.All the data were analysed using inferential statistics Mann Whitney test and the analysis was carried out with SPSS 17.The comparison of mean pain scores using full cup test and numeric pain rating scale shows there was significant differences between acute and chronic pain with P- value of 0.023 and 0.005 respectively. FCT had shown 83 percent sensitivity and 94 percent specificity.Patients who presented with either acute or chronic dental conditions experienced moderate to severe level of pain. FCT is useful for both evaluating and discerning changes in pain and it can be used as a tool in pain assessment.

Abstract Objective: To determine the association of musculoskeletal discomfort with the high heeled shoes related variables in females who use such footwear frequently. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted on 174 female residents of Islamabad and Rawalpindi, for a time period stretching from July 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018. The participants aged between 18 and 55 years appeared as the frequent users of high heeled shoes. The Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) and Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) were used as outcome measures to assess the musculoskeletal discomfort and a self-structured questionnaire was used to obtain information related to the high heeled shoes e.g. duration and frequency of high heeled shoe use. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 21. Results: The data analysis showed a positive association of shoulders’ discomfort with length of high heeled shoes used by women (p value= 0.03<0.05). Moreover, a positive association was also found between an occurrence of upper back discomfort and length of the heeled shoes (p value= 0.01<0.05). However, no significant association was found between pain intensity and length of the shoe’ heel, frequency and duration of high heeled shoe use. Conclusion: The shoulders’ and upper back discomfort in females who frequently used high heeled shoes was determined to be associated with the length of the heels in shoes.

  THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE BODY MASS INDEX AND THE SEVERITY OF MIGRAINE ATTACK WITHOUT AURAABSTRACTIntroduction: In Indonesia, there has been only a few studies that correlate Body Mass Index (BMI) to severity of migraine.Aim: To identify the correlation between the body mass index and the severity of migraine attack  without aura.Methods:  The research used the cross sectional design method. The subjects’ age was 18 years or above, and they were treated at the neurology outpatient clinic of Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital and its networking hospitals from June through September 2018. The measurement of Body Mass Index (BMI) of the subjects was conducted, and the level of migraine severity was determined using the numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), while the frequency of migraine attacks was determined in 1 month during the last 3 months  of the study.Results: The research results revealed that 45 samples met the inclusion criteria, consisting of 86.7% women and 13.3% men. By using Spearman’s test, it was found that there was a correlation between the BMI and the pain intensity, and between the BMI and the frequency of the migraine attacks.Discussion: There were correlations between BMI and pain intensity which confounded by sleep disorder and mi- graine prophylaxis, and between BMI and the frequency of migraine attacks which confounded by prophylaxis of migraine without aura.Keywords: BMI, migraine rant, obesity, severityABSTRAK Pendahuluan: Penelitian yang menghubungkan indeks massa tubuh (IMT) dengan derajat keparahan migren masih sedikit di Indonesia.Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan IMT dengan derajat keparahan serangan migren tanpa aura.Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan metode potong lintang.

Background Self-reported disability and pain intensity are commonly used outcomes in patients with cervicogenic headaches. However, there is a paucity of psychometric evidence to support the use of these self-report outcomes for individuals treated with cervicogenic headaches. Therefore, it is unknown if these measures are reliable, responsive, or result in meaningful clinically important changes in this patient population. Methods A secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial (n = 110) examining the effects of spinal manipulative therapy with and without exercise in patients with cervicogenic headaches. Reliability, construct validity, responsiveness and thresholds for minimal detectable change and clinically important difference values were calculated for the Neck Disability Index and Numeric Pain Rating Scale. Results The Neck Disability Index exhibited excellent reliability (ICC = 0.92; [95 % CI: 0.46–0.97]), while the Numeric Pain Rating Scale exhibited moderate reliability (ICC = 0.72; [95 % CI: 0.08–0.90]) in the short term. Both instruments also exhibited adequate responsiveness (area under the curve; range = 0.78–0.93) and construct validity ( p < 0.001) in this headache population. Conclusions Both instruments seem well suited as short-term self-report measures for patients with cervicogenic headaches. Clinicians and researchers should expect at least a 2.5-point reduction on the numeric pain rating scale and a 5.5-point reduction on the neck disability index after 4 weeks of intervention to be considered clinically meaningful.

Absztrakt: Bevezetés: A De Quervain-féle tendinopathia a csukló-kéz régióját érintő betegség. A hüvelykujj mozgatása fájdalmassá válik, a kéz funkciója jelentősen romlik. A betegség a legújabb kutatások szerint inkább degeneratív, semmint gyulladásos eredetű. Első lépésként a kéz sínezése, nemszteroid gyulladáscsökkentő szerek és különböző fizikoterápiás kezelések alkalmazása javasolt. Hatástalanságuk esetén további lehetőség az ínhüvelybe fecskendezett szteroidinjekció és a műtéti úton végzett ínhüvelybemetszés. Célkitűzés: Kutatásunkban megvizsgáltuk, hogy az excentrikus tréninggel kibővített konzervatív kezelés megfelelő alternatíváját nyújthatja-e a jelenleg elfogadott kezelési lehetőségeknek. Módszer: Az excentrikus tréning 8 hétig tartott, melyet indokolt esetben 12 hetesre bővítettünk. A betegek (n = 9) a betanítást követően naponta többször végezték a tréninget, amit a heti találkozók alkalmával kontrolláltunk. Az 1., a 8., valamint a 12. heti találkozó során az inspekciót követően mértük az ízületi mozgástartományt, az izomerőt, a fájdalmas régiók számát, illetve elvégeztük a ’Numeric Pain Rating Scale’, a ’Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand’, valamint a ’Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation’ kérdőívek felvételét. A méréseket páros mintás t-teszttel és ismételt méréses varianciaanalízissel elemeztük. Az elemzéseket IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0 és Microsoft Office Excel Professional Plus 2016 programmal végeztük; p<0,05 esetén tekintettük statisztikailag szignifikánsnak eredményeinket. Eredmények: Szignifikáns javulást mértünk a fájdalom intenzitása (’Numeric Pain Rating Scale’ p = 0,005, n = 9) és a kéz, valamint a csukló funkciója terén (’Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Outcome Measure’ kérdőív 1. rész p<0,001, 2. rész p<0,001, ’Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation’ kérdőív p<0,001; n = 9). Következtetés: Eredményeink alapján megfelelő betegbeválasztás mellett az excentrikus tréninggel kibővített konzervatív kezelés valós alternatívája lehet a jelenleg alkalmazott kezeléseknek.

Background: Clinical outcomes are very important in clinical assessment, and responsiveness is a component inside the outcome measures that needs to be investigated, particularly in chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP). Objective: This study aimed to investigate the responsiveness of pain, functional capacity tests, and disability in individuals with CNSLBP. Methods: Twenty subjects were assessed in pain using the following methods: visual analog scale (VAS) and numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), functional capacity tests: functional reach test (FRT), five-time sit-to-stand test (5 TSST), and two-minute step test (2 MST), and disability level: modified Oswestry Disability Questionnaire (MODQ), Thai version before and after 2-week intervention session. For interventions, the subjects received education, spinal manipulative therapy, and individual therapeutic exercise twice a week, for a total of two weeks. The statistics analyzed were change scores, effect size (ES), and standardized response mean (SRM). Results: The most responsive parameter for individuals with CNSLBP was pain as measured by numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) (ES [Formula: see text]0.986, SRM [Formula: see text]0.928) and five-time sit-to-stand test (5 TSST) (SRM [Formula: see text]0.846). Conclusion: This study found that NPRS pain and 5 TSST were responsive in individuals with CNSLBP at two weeks after the beginning of interventions.
