Decrease of IL-1β and TNF in the Spinal Cord Mediates Analgesia Produced by Ankle Joint Mobilization in Complete Freund Adjuvant-Induced Inflammation Mice Model

Carlos Minoru Omura et al.

Summary: The study confirms the anti-hyperalgesic effect of ankle joint mobilization and suggests a central neuroimmunomodulatory effect targeting pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1 beta and TNF in a model of persistent inflammation.

The Modulatory Effect of Quantitative Sensory Testing in Shoulder Pain: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Kristian Damgaard Lyng et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess whether QST parameters can be modified by interventions for patients with shoulder pain. Results demonstrated that interventions such as exercise and manual therapy can acutely modulate pain sensitivity in patients with shoulder pain. Further research on the modulatory effects of these interventions on other QST parameters in patients with shoulder pain is needed.

Quantitative Sensory Testing Across Chronic Pain Conditions and Use in Special Populations

Kristen R. Weaver et al.

Summary: Chronic pain is a significant burden to the healthcare system and patients' quality of life. Traditional subjective assessments do not capture the complexity of pain, while quantitative sensory testing offers insight into the mechanisms of pain experience.

Evidence-based treatment recommendations for neck and low back pain across Europe: A systematic review of guidelines

Nadia Corp et al.

Summary: This systematic review synthesized evidence from European neck and low back pain clinical practice guidelines to identify recommended treatment options. The study found mainly non-pharmacological treatment options with broad consensus across Europe, with notable differences in recommendations for neck and back pain. The findings highlight the importance of evidence-based treatment recommendations for patients with neck and low back pain.

What factors are associated with health-related quality of life among patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain? A cross-sectional study in primary health care

Kirsti Krohn Garnaes et al.

Summary: Reduced health-related quality of life in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain is significantly associated with factors such as gender, receiving disability pension, and psychosocial aspects. Patients with CMP have lower HRQoL scores compared to those without CMP, with a notable impact on daily life function.

Quantitative Sensory Testing to Predict Postoperative Pain

Matthias Braun et al.

Summary: Quantitative sensory testing (QST) shows high relevance in predicting acute and chronic postoperative pain, especially in patients undergoing orthopedic procedures. By implementing QST testing, patients at risk can be identified and proactive preventive management measures can be taken, advancing traditional pain therapy towards personalized perioperative pain medicine.

Management of Musculoskeletal Pain: An Update with Emphasis on Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain

Salah N. El-Tallawy et al.

Summary: Musculoskeletal pain is a common and challenging condition that affects about 47% of the population, with 39-45% requiring long-term medical consultation. Comprehensive management approaches, including multimodal analgesia and multidisciplinary techniques, are essential for effective treatment.

Nociplastic Pain Criteria or Recognition of Central Sensitization? Pain Phenotyping in the Past, Present and Future

Jo Nijs et al.

Summary: IASP has recently released new clinical criteria for nociplastic pain affecting the musculoskeletal system, aiming to help clinicians identify and classify patients with chronic pain more accurately. These new criteria are more comprehensive and robust, representing important steps towards precision pain medicine, although further studies are needed to validate their clinimetric and psychometric properties.

Do chronic low back pain subgroups derived from dynamic quantitative sensory testing exhibit differing multidimensional profiles?

Martin Rabey et al.

Summary: This study aimed to create subgroups based on dynamic QST measures and found that individuals in the impaired CPM subgroup were more likely to have widespread symptoms, while those in the facilitated TS subgroup exhibited heightened sensitivity to cold pain. However, subgroup membership was not associated with future pain and disability.

Central sensitisation in chronic pain conditions: latest discoveries and their potential for precision medicine

Jo Nijs et al.

Summary: Chronic pain is a major cause of disability and high healthcare costs globally. Central sensitisation, amplification of neural signalling in the CNS leading to pain hypersensitivity, has been investigated as a reason for discrepancy between tissue damage extent and pain severity. Central sensitisation varies among patients with different pain conditions, predicting poor treatment outcomes and suggesting the importance of individual assessment and treatment strategies.
