Strengths and Weaknesses of Cancer Pain Management in Italy: Findings from a Nationwide SIAARTI Survey

Marco Cascella et al.

Summary: The strengths of cancer pain management in Italy include careful opioid prescriptions, strategies for treating neuropathic pain, patient/provider partnerships, and breakthrough cancer pain management. However, there are weaknesses that need to be addressed, such as poor adherence to guidelines, inadequate attention to patient quality of life, insufficient use of minimally invasive techniques, lack of teamwork approaches, inappropriate timing of pain specialist engagement, and underutilization of telemedicine.

Gender Representation in Fellowship Program Director Positions in ACGME-Accredited Chronic Pain and Acute Pain Fellowship Programs

Ryan S. D'Souza et al.

Summary: The study revealed a gender disparity in the role of program directors in ACGME-accredited chronic and acute pain fellowships, with female program directors being underrepresented and having fewer peer-reviewed publications. There was no significant difference in senior academic rank status based on gender among program directors in both chronic and acute pain programs.

Pursuing the Recovery of Severe Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain in Italy: Clinical and Organizational Perspectives from a SIAARTI Survey

Alessandro Vittori et al.

Summary: The study found that most Italian physicians consider functional recovery as very important in MSK pain treatment, focusing on patients' ability to perform daily activities, pain, ability to ambulate, and sleep quality during assessment. Pharmacological therapy, rehabilitation, lifestyle changes, and physical exercise were all rated as optimal strategies for pursuing the recovery of patients' functioning.

Methodological considerations in the assessment of direct and indirect costs of back pain: A systematic scoping review

Dawit T. Zemedikun et al.

Summary: Back pain is a common health issue worldwide, with studies reporting substantial economic burden on society. However, there is high heterogeneity in methodologies used to estimate the costs, with most studies assessing costs from a societal perspective and finding that indirect costs outweigh direct costs. Standardized methodological approaches are needed for more credible and comparable cost estimates in future studies.

Latest Evidence-Based Application for Radiofrequency Neurotomy (LEARN): Best Practice Guidelines from the American Society of Pain and Neuroscience (ASPN)

David W. Lee et al.

Summary: Radiofrequency neurotomy, also known as radiofrequency ablation, is a common interventional procedure used to treat pain from innervated structures. Its applications have expanded to peripherally innervated targets in recent years. The American Society of Pain and Neuroscience has identified the need for evidence-based guidance on RFN.
