Heart rate variability is not suitable as a surrogate marker for pain intensity in patients with chronic pain

Maarten Moens et al.

Summary: The search for a biomarker for pain has been ongoing for decades, but no widely accepted biomarker has been identified. This study explored the use of heart rate variability (HRV) as a surrogate marker for pain intensity in chronic pain patients. The study found weak correlations between HRV parameters and pain intensity scores, suggesting that HRV parameters are not suitable as surrogate candidates for pain intensity. Further research is needed to identify potential surrogate markers and true endpoints for the highly individual pain experience.

Optimizing and Accelerating the Development of Precision Pain Treatments for Chronic Pain: IMMPACT Review and Recommendations

Robert R. Edwards et al.

Summary: There is a large variability in individual response to pain treatments, even those that are highly effective, which has led to calls for personalized approaches to treating patients with pain. Precision pain medicine aims to determine the optimal treatments for specific patients by using empirically based algorithms. This review surveys the current state of precision pain medicine and presents evidence-based recommendations for its application in chronic pain research.

Reliability and responsivity of pain intensity scales in individuals with chronic pain

Pramote Euasobhon et al.

Summary: This study examined the stability and validity of four commonly used pain intensity scales (VAS, VRS-6, NRS-11, FPS-R). The results showed that NRS-11 and VAS had better test-retest stability, and NRS-11 demonstrated the highest sensitivity. FPS-R could be considered as an alternative for individuals who may have difficulty understanding or using NRS-11.

VAS and NRS, Same or Different? Are Visual Analog Scale Values and Numerical Rating Scale Equally Viable Tools for Assessing Patients after Microdiscectomy?

Joanna Bielewicz et al.

Summary: This study compared the viability of the numerical rating scale (NRS) and the visual analogue scale (VAS) as pain assessment tools among patients who underwent microdiscectomy. The results showed that NRS-L and NRS-B ratings remained at a similar level while VAS and ODI decreased after 3 months. The measurement of NRS-L 1 month after microdiscectomy seems to give quick insight into the effectiveness of the procedure.

Initial Content Validation and Roadmap for a New Patient-Reported Outcome Measure of Pain Intensity

Dale J. Langford et al.

Summary: Measures of pain intensity, such as numeric rating scales (NRS), have limitations in terms of standardization, which undermines the precision and comparability of pain assessment. This study used concept elicitation interviews to gather patients' perspectives and suggestions on pain intensity measurement. The findings informed the development of initial candidate measures that adhere to FDA qualification processes.

A literature review of the impact of exclusion criteria on generalizability of clinical trial findings to patients with chronic pain

Vafi Salmasi et al.

Summary: The use of exclusion criteria in clinical trials may limit the generalizability of study results. There is a lack of research on the impact of exclusion criteria on chronic pain patients, highlighting the need for more comprehensive studies to better understand these implications.

I. Indices of Pain Intensity Derived From Ecological Momentary Assessments: Rationale and Stakeholder Preferences

Arthur A. Stone et al.

Summary: Pain assessment is essential for chronic pain research and management, and considering additional outcome measures capturing temporal aspects of pain can enhance pain assessment. Different stakeholders have distinct preferences for additional pain indices, with patients favoring Worst Pain and Time in High Pain. Multiple temporal aspects of pain intensity are important to stakeholders and should be considered in evaluating the efficacy of pain management.

Validity and Utility of Four Pain Intensity Measures for Use in International Research

Raviwon Atisook et al.

Summary: The study evaluated four commonly used measures of pain intensity in Thai patients with chronic pain, finding NRS-11 to be the most useful in the sample and suggesting that FPS-R might be most suitable for cross-cultural and international research based on comparisons with findings from other countries. Further research in developing countries is needed to assess the generalizability of the current findings.

Research design considerations for chronic pain prevention clinical trials: IMMPACT recommendations

Jennifer S. Gewandter et al.

Summary: This article discusses the design considerations for clinical trials investigating the prevention of chronic pain, including subject identification, timing and duration of treatment, outcomes, timing of assessment, and adjusting for risk factors in the analyses. By examining four models of chronic pain prevention, improvements in trial design could potentially decrease the prevalence of chronic pain in the population.

Beyond Average: Providers' Assessments of Indices for Measuring Pain Intensity in Patients With Chronic Pain

Roberta E. E. Goldman et al.

Summary: This study investigated healthcare providers' perspectives on seven pain measurement indices for capturing pain intensity. Despite concerns regarding visual analog and numeric rating scales, almost all providers used them. The importance ratings of the pain indices showed that worst pain was rated as the most important, followed by average pain, and unpredictable pain was rated the lowest.
