Abstract:

Background Spinal pain is one of humanity’s most frequent complaints with high costs for the individual and society, and is commonly related to spinal disorders. There are many origins behind these disorders e.g., trauma, disc hernia or of other organic origins. However, for many of the disorders, the origin is not known. Thus, more knowledge is needed about how pain affects the neck and neural function in pain affected regions. The purpose of this dissertation was to improve the medical examination of patients suffering from chronic whiplash-associated disorders or other pain related neck-dis

Abstract:

Chronic pain is a condition that impacts millions of men and women around the globe. It is a compelling disease that particularly impacts quality of life (QOL) for many veterans with undertreated or untreated pain. The focus of this systematic literature review was the appraisal of articles and clinical practice guidelines to better understand best-practice nonpharmacological strategies for management of chronic pain. Key words used in the literature search included chronic pain and veterans, complementary alternative medicine (yoga, tai chi, music therapy, acupuncture, and massage), and cogni

Abstract:

Chronic pain is a complex condition with a significant social and economic impact and a better understanding of the factors affecting improvement is required to inform best practice in the management process. Few studies have considered the effect of Weinberger et al.’s personality types in the management of pain. The four personality types are suggested to respond differently to threatening information such as pain, because of their attentional and interpretive biases. Using a variety of research methods, the global aim of this programme of research was to determine whether the management of

Abstract:

Chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) is a major cause of morbidity, and one of the most common reasons for individuals to seek treatment in both the primary and secondary care settings. Physical activity interventions are a central component of the non-pharmacological management of such conditions. However, encouraging patients to exercise or increase their overall physical activity can be problematic. This can be due to a number of potential barriers, including a belief that some activities may cause pain or injury. Walking is a form of exercise or physical activity that may potentially be effe

Abstract:

Chronic (persistent) pain (CP) affects 1 in 10 adults; clinical resources are insufficient, and anxiety about activity restricts lives. Physical activity is important for improving function and quality of life in people with chronic pain, but psychological factors such as fear of increased pain and damage due to activity, lack of confidence or support, make it difficult to build and maintain physical activity towards long-term goals. There is insufficient research to guide the design of interactive technology to support people with CP in self-managing physical activity. This thesis aims to bri

Abstract:

Chronic pain is usually defined as pain of more than three months duration. The prevalence of chronic pain among the general population in Sweden is 18%. Compared with the general population, these patients report lower life satisfaction, decreased activity in daily life and higher levels of depression with decreased work ability, and increased sick leave. Research indicates that multimodal rehabilitation (MMR) programmes, including cognitive behavioural approaches for patients disabled by chronic pain, are effective for return to work.

Abstract:

Prolonged computer work is associated with high rates of neck and shoulder pain symptoms, and as computers have become increasingly more common, it is becoming critical that we develop sustainable interventions targeting this issue. Static muscle contractions for prolonged periods often occur in the neck/shoulder during computer work and may underlie muscle pain development in spite of rather low relative muscle load levels. Causal mechanisms may include a stereotypical recruitment of low threshold motor units (activating type I muscle fibers), characterized by a lack of temporal as well as sp

The purpose of this dissertation was to validate a PPTS in patients diagnosed with MPS and FM. Design and Methods: An observational study.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)<br>Symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are a common comorbidity in veterans seeking treatment of chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP). However, little is known regarding the mutual influence of PTSD and CMP in this population. Using cross-sectional and longitudinal data from a randomized clinical trial evaluating a stepped care intervention for CMP in Iraq/Afghanistan veterans (ESCAPE), this dissertation examined the relationships between PTSD and CMP along with other factors including depression, anxiety, catastrophizing an

Abstract:

Pain is a universal and costly medical health problem. It is estimated that approximately one in ten individuals develop chronic pain each year. Chronic pain is among the top 10 complaints for which individuals seek help from primary care health professionals. In spite of its prevalence, doctors report a lack of confidence in managing chronic painful conditions. Moreover, the use of opioids for non-malignant chronic pain has increased recently and has become more regulated. Not surprisingly there is a high demand for alternative treatment options for managing chronic pain. Chronic nonspecific

碩士<br>臺北巿立體育學院<br>運動科學研究所<br>99<br>Background: Diabetes patients are known to have high incident rate of chronic musculoskeletal pain. Purpose: To evaluate the effect of glycemic control on therapeutic efficacy of rehabilitation treating chronic musculoskeletal pain. Method: Diabetes patients having chronic myofascial pain, osteoarthritic knee, or frozen shoulder were included in this study. Four control patients (average age: 68 years; range: 63-77 years) received conventional rehabilitative modality; whereas 6 patients (average age: 69 years; range 57-88 years) with the same rehabilitative

Abstract:

Musculoskeletal disorders are a leading cause of disease burden worldwide. Alarmingly, the prevalence and socioeconomic impact of these conditions is rising. Pain is a common and disabling feature of many musculoskeletal disorders. While significant individual burden is evident at all stages of pain, socioeconomic costs increase dramatically when pain becomes chronic (> 3 months). Therapies that reduce the duration and severity of chronic pain are needed to lessen the individual and socioeconomic burden of these conditions. However, current interventions achieve limited success. The lack of ef

Abstract:

Musculoskeletal pain is a leading health problem globally. Its prevalence and associated socioeconomic costs have increased exponentially and this trend is expected to continue in the coming decades. While all stages of musculoskeletal pain contribute to the burden of disease, the costs attributed to chronic pain (pain lasting > 3 months) are most significant. Effective treatment would substantially reduce the impact of chronic musculoskeletal pain at both the individual and societal level. Yet, the effects of current treatments are, at best, moderate for pain and function. One explanat
