Stress, anxiety, and post-surgical chest pain are common problems among patients with thoracic surgical pathology. The way in which psychological distress is managed—the coping style—can influence the postsurgical evolution and quality of life of patients. In our study, we monitored the influence of coping style on patients’ anxiety and the intensity of post-operative chest pain. We conducted a cross-sectional study on 90 subjects with thoracic surgical pathology. One month after their surgeries, patients completed the following scales and questionnaires, translated, adapted, and validated for the Romanian population: COPE scale inventory, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 Questionnaire, McGill Pain Questionnaire, and Numeric Pain Rating Scale. Anxiety (evaluated using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 Questionnaire) and postoperative thoracic pain intensity (evaluated by means of the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Number of Words Chosen, and McGill Pain Questionnaire) were significantly higher in patients exhibiting social-focused coping than in patients presenting emotion-focused or problem-focused coping as their main coping style (Kruskal–Wallis, p = 0.028, p = 0.022, p = 0.042, p = 0.007). In our study, there were no differences observed in pain intensity relative to level of anxiety. Coping style is an important concept in the management of anxiety and pain experienced by patients undergoing chest surgery. Therefore, a multidisciplinary approach should be considered in clinical practice.

  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. Subjek berumur 18 tahun atau lebih dan berobat ke Poliklinik Neurologi RSUP Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo dan rumah sakit jejaring antara Juni hingga September 2018. Terhadap subjek dilakukan pengukuran IMT. Derajat keparahan migren ditentukan secara kuantitatif melalui penggunaan numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) dan ditentukan frekuensi serangan migren dalam satu bulan pada interval tiga bulan terakhir saat dilakukan penelitian.Hasil: Didapatkan 45 sampel yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi yang terdiri dari 86,7% perempuan dan 13,3% laki-la- ki.

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.

Background: "Text neck" is a term coined to describe the posture created by leaning forward for lengthy periods of time, such as when reading and texting on a cellphone which has been linked to stress injuries. Neck pain, upper back discomfort, shoulder pain, frequent headaches, and greater curvature of the spine are all dangerous indications of text neck. According to a survey, 35% of smartphone users suffer from text neck syndrome. People between the ages of 15 and 18 are more likely to have neck pain. This protocol has been created that describes the design of comparative study to evaluate effectiveness of progressive resisted exercise along with conventional exercise and conventional exercise program alone in text neck syndrome. Methods: The participants (n=80) will be recruited in the study suffering from text neck syndrome and meeting the inclusion criteria. Two groups will be formed such that patients in group A will be treated with conventional therapy and group B will be treated with progressive resisted exercise (PRE) along with conventional therapy. The protocol will cover 4 weeks of treatment. In the rehabilitation period, we will evaluate the pain intensity, strength of neck muscles and functional activity. Our outcome measures will be- Numerical pain rating scale (NPRS) and Neck disability index (NDI). Discussion: Efficacy of the intervention will be evaluated by analyzing the pain intensity by using Numerical pain rating scale (NPRS) and level of functional disability by using Neck disability index (NDI). The result of the study will significantly provide affirmation on either using combination therapy of PRE with conventional exercise or conventional exercise alone.

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.
