Abstract
OBJECTIVES The goal of the present study was to explore additional evidence of validity of the Serbian version of the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI), a patient-reported outcome measure of symptoms that have been found to be associated with central sensitization (CS). The CSI has been found to be psychometrically sound, and has demonstrated evidence of convergent and discriminant validity in numerous published studies and in multiple languages. METHODS CSI data were collected from 399 patients with chronic pain who had various diagnoses and from 146 pain-free controls. In addition, the patient sample completed a battery of validated patient-reported outcome measures of sleep problems, cognitive problems, pain catastrophizing, pain-related fear-avoidance, decreased quality of life, and decreased perception of social support. Six patient subgroups were formed, with presumably different levels of CS (including those with fibromyalgia, multiple pain sites, and localized pain sites). RESULTS Significant differences were found in total CSI scores among the controls and patient subgroups. Those with fibromyalgia and multiple pathologies scored highest and the control subjects scored lowest. Other patient-reported CS-related symptom dimensions were significantly correlated with total CSI scores. When the patients were divided into CSI severity subgroups (from subclinical to extreme), the severity of these other symptom dimensions increased with the severity of CSI scores. CONCLUSIONS The current study successfully demonstrated additional evidence of the convergent and discriminant validity of the Serbian version of the CSI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A relevant subsample of patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) have manifested augmented central pain processing, central sensitisation (CS). Patients with CLBP have limited functioning and participation. Theoretically, physical functioning in patients with CLBP can plausibly be linked to CS; however, evidence to explain such association is scarce. Moreover, there is no gold standard for CS diagnosis. The objectives of the study are: (1) to analyse the association between instruments assessing reference symptoms and signs attributed to CS; (2) to analyse whether reference symptoms and signs attributed to CS are associated with functioning measurement outcomes; and (3) to analyse whether changes (between baseline and discharge) in reference symptoms and signs attributed to CS are related to changes in each of the functioning measurement outcomes. METHODS AND ANALYSIS A cross-sectional and longitudinal observational study is performed with measurements taken at baseline and discharge of an interdisciplinary rehabilitation programme. A sample size of 110 adult patients with CLBP has been calculated for the study. CS measurements are: Central Sensitisation Inventory, quantitative sensory testing and heart rate variability. Functioning measurements are: lifting capacity, maximal aerobic capacity, accelerometry and reported functioning. Statistical analyses to be performed are: (1) correlation between CS measurements, (2) multiple regression between functioning (dependent variable) and CS measurements (independent variable), and (3) multiple regression between changes in scores of functioning (dependent variable) and CS measurements (independent variable), and corrected for sex and age. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study obtained the clearance to its implementation from the Medical Research Ethics Committee of the University Medical Center Groningen in July 2017. The results will be disseminated through scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals, presentations at relevant conferences, and reports to stakeholders. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NTR7167/NL6980.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Central sensitization (CS) is an important feature in musculoskeletal chronic pain, and associated symptoms can be assessed using the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI). OBJECTIVES This study aimed to translate and cross-culturally adapt the CSI to the European Portuguese language and to assess its validity and reliability in adolescents with musculoskeletal chronic pain. METHODS The European Portuguese version of the CSI was established following the translation and testing processes recommended by international guidelines. Then, this version of the CSI was completed by 1,730 adolescents, who also completed the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire; the Pain Catastrophizing Scale; the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale; the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia; and the Basic Scale on Insomnia Complaints and Quality of Sleep. Test-retest reliability and measurement error, internal consistency, hypothesis testing, and factor analysis were assessed for the translated version of the CSI. RESULTS Cronbach's alpha was 0.91, the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.94 (95% confidence interval: 0.90, 0.96), and the standard error of measurement and smallest detectable change were 4.15 and 11.50, respectively. Fair correlations were found between CSI and fear of movement (Spearman's correlation [rs ] = 0.46), sleep (rs = 0.46), and catastrophizing (rs = 0.49). Moderate to good correlations were found between CSI and depression (rs = 0.60), anxiety (rs = 0.59), and stress (rs = 0.65). CONCLUSION The European Portuguese version of the CSI was considered easy to understand and showed very good internal consistency, excellent test-retest reliability, and excellent construct validity in a community sample of adolescents with musculoskeletal chronic pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain-related fear-avoidance (FA) is a common problem affecting many patients with painful medical conditions. As there is great interest in the clinical importance of the relationship between FA and disability, several questionnaires have been developed to measure FA. The Fear-Avoidance Components Scale (FACS) is a recently developed patient-reported instrument that addresses critical issues not previously considered in previous FA-related questionnaires. The original English version of the FACS demonstrated good reliability, internal consistency, and construct, criterion, and predictive validity. Two factors were determined: General Fear Avoidance and Types of Activities That are Avoided. The aim of this study was to to translate the FACS into European-style Spanish (FACS-Sp), and validate its psychometric properties. METHODS This two-stage psychometric study included 330 subjects with various chronic musculoskeletal pain disorders. An initial translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the FACS, from English to Spanish, was performed. Then, critical psychometric properties were analysed, including internal consistency by Cronbach's α coefficients, structural validity from the Maximum Likelihood Extraction (MLE), and convergent validity by Pearson correlation with the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI). RESULTS This study reports for the first time the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the FACS. Total scores ranged from 0 to 88 points, with a mean of 30.49 (±17.18). The FACS-Sp showed a high internal consistency for factor 1 (α = 0.902) and factor 2 (α = 0.88). Factor structure was two-dimensional and supported structural validity, accounting for 48.75% of the total variance. Convergent validity analysis found a significant Pearson correlation r = 0.414. CONCLUSION This study reports for the first time the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the FACS-Sp. Psychometric properties supported the validation of FACS-Sp and ensured the conceptual equivalence with the original English version. In primary care and chronic pain rehabilitation, FA assessment is crucial for clinical decision-making and treatment guidance. The FACS-Sp offers a new measure of FA in Spanish speaking populations. Future research on the FACS-Sp should evaluate test-retest reliability, treatment responsiveness and psychometric comparisons with other translated versions.

Abstract
Chronic pain often occurs in the elderly, particularly in the patients with neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Although studies indicate that chronic pain correlates with cognitive decline, it is unclear whether chronic pain accelerates AD pathogenesis. In this review, we provide evidence that supports a link between chronic pain and AD and discuss potential mechanisms underlying this connection based on currently available literature from human and animal studies. Specifically, we describe two intertwined processes, locus coeruleus noradrenergic system dysfunction and neuroinflammation resulting from microglial pro-inflammatory activation in brain areas mediating the affective component of pain and cognition that have been found to influence both chronic pain and AD. These represent a pathological overlap that likely leads chronic pain to accelerate AD pathogenesis. Further, we discuss potential therapeutic interventions targeting noradrenergic dysfunction and microglial activation that may improve patient outcomes for those with chronic pain and AD.

Abstract
Purpose: The aims of the present study were to investigate whether the association between the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) score, pain-related symptoms, pain-related disability, and health-related quality of life differed by disease (chronic low back pain [CLBP] vs knee osteoarthritis [KOA]), and to determine optimal cutoff scores for the CSI reflecting disease-specific characteristics. Patients and methods: A total of 104 patients with CLBP and 50 patients with KOA were recruited. Central sensitization-related symptoms (CSI), EuroQol 5-dimension (EQ-5D), Brief Pain Inventory, widespread pain (Widespread Pain Index [WPI]), pressure pain threshold (PPT), and temporal summation (TS) were assessed and compared between the CLBP and KOA groups. Univariate correlation analysis was performed in each group. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to identify 1) presence/absence of central sensitization (CS), 2) presence/absence of central sensitivity syndromes (CSSs), and 3) pain intensity and pain interference in each group. Results: The CSI and WPI scores were significantly higher in the CLBP group than in the KOA group. EQ-5D and pain interference scores significantly correlated with the CSI score in both the CLBP and KOA groups. The WPI score, PPT, and TS did not correlate with the CSI score in either the CLBP or KOA group. The suggested cutoff scores were 28 in the CLBP group and 17 in the KOA group to identify presence or absence of CSSs, and 34 in the CLBP group and 18–19 in the KOA group to identify pain severity. Conclusion: The impact of CS on pain could differ between CLBP and KOA and that cutoff scores differ by each parameter we attempted to identify. Therefore, we should use the appropriate cutoff scores for the purposes and consider the difference in the impact of CS on pain by the patient group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In breast cancer survivors, multiple risk factors for health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and chronic pain, including cancer treatment-related factors, psychosocial factors, and central sensitization (CS), have been suggested; however, there has been no comparative study between breast cancer survivors with and without pain. This study aimed to compare the demographic characteristics, psychological factors, and CS-related symptoms between breast cancer survivors with pain, those without pain, and healthy controls, and to investigate the relationships of these factors with HRQoL. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 218 women, including patients who underwent breast cancer surgery and adjuvant therapy and healthy women. RESULTS Patients were divided into the pain group (n = 42), without-pain group (n = 51), and healthy group (n = 47); thus, among breast cancer survivors, 45% reported chronic pain. The proportion of participants who received breast cancer treatments, such as axillary lymph node dissection and chemotherapy, was higher in the pain group than in the without-pain group (p < 0.05). The Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) and psychosocial factors in the pain group were higher than those in the without-pain group and healthy group (p < 0.01). The CSI and PCS showed larger effect sizes than treatment-related factors. Moreover, HRQoL was significantly correlated with CSI, PCS, Patient Health Questionnaire-2, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-2 scale (all, p < 0.01). On multiple linear regression analysis, CSI accounted for 43% of the variance in HRQoL. CONCLUSIONS CS and pain catastrophizing may be more associated with the development and/or maintenance of persistent pain than treatment-related factors.

Abstract
Our purpose was to determine the validity of the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) with psychophysical tests, psychological and physical factors in patients with Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA). Patients with KOA were recruited from three Montreal hospitals. Psychophysical tests (pressure pain threshold, conditioned pain modulation, temporal summation) were conducted and questionnaires administered to determine the presence of neuropathic pain, somatization, anxiodepressive symptoms, pain catastrophizing (PC), and widespread pain (WSP). Relations between the CSI, psychophysical tests, and questionnaires were assessed using correlations and chi-square analysis. Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curves determined sensitivity and specificity scores. Multiple linear regression was performed to predict the association of CSI scores with somatization, anxiodepressive symptoms, PC, and WSP factors. One hundred thirty-three participants were assessed, 56.4% female, mean age 63.5 years. The CSI was weakly correlated with decreased pressure pain thresholds locally (rs - 0.264, p = 0.004) and remotely (rs - 0.235, p = 0.011) and with conditioned pain modulation (rs 0.187, p = 0.045). ROC curve analyses suggested an optimal CSI cut-point of 36 (Sn 75%, Sp 63.4%). Performance of the CSI used in combination with a neuropathic pain questionnaire was not significantly superior. After adjustment for covariates, a multivariable linear regression determined WSP (unstandardized ß 4.161(0.067, 8.255) p = 0.046), somatization (unstandardized ß 1.828 (1.368, 2.288) p < 0.005), and anxiodepressive symptoms (unstandardized ß 0.419 (0.107, 0.730) p = 0.009) significantly predicted CSI scores. The CSI is more strongly associated with psychological factors than psychophysical test results in a KOA population. Its moderate sensitivity and specificity suggest it should be used as part of a more comprehensive evaluative toolkit.
