Non-pharmacological and non-invasive interventions for chronic pain in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A systematic review without meta-analysis. Respir Med 2023; 211:107191. [PMID: 36889522 DOI: 10.1016/j.rmed.2023.107191] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2023] [Accepted: 03/03/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is complicated by chronic pain. People with COPD report higher pain prevalence than the general population. Despite this, chronic pain management is not reflected in current COPD clinical guidelines and pharmacological treatments are often ineffective. We conducted a systematic review that aimed to establish the efficacy of existing non-pharmacological and non-invasive interventions on pain and identify behaviour change techniques (BCTs) associated with effective pain management. METHODS A systematic review was conducted with reference to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review (PRISMA) [1], Systematic review without Meta analysis (SWIM) standards [2] and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) guidelines [3]. We searched 14 electronic databases for controlled trials of non-pharmacological and non-invasive interventions where the outcome measure assessed pain or contained a pain subscale. RESULTS Twenty-nine studies were identified involving 3,228 participants. Seven interventions reported a minimally important clinical difference in pain outcomes, although only two of these reached statistical significance (p < 0.05). A third study reported statistically significant outcomes, but this was not clinically significant (p = 0.0273). Issues with intervention reporting prevented identification of active intervention ingredients (i.e., BCTs). CONCLUSIONS Pain appears to be a meaningful issue for many individuals with COPD. However, intervention heterogeneity and issues with methodological quality limit certainty about the effectiveness of currently available non-pharmacological interventions. An improvement in reporting is required to enable identification of active intervention ingredients associated with effective pain management.

Abstract
Purpose The presence of pain can be associated with an exaggerated negative cognitive and emotional response, leading to worsening of existing symptoms. This study aimed to describe the multifaceted impact of chronic pain on cognition, emotional and physical health in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) and to explore the clinical impact of pain. Patients and Methods A prospective, cross-sectional multicenter study was carried out in 68 people with COPD (COPD group) and 65 community-dwelling age-matched participants (control group). Participants were assessed for the presence of chronic pain, pain location, intensity and catastrophizing, pain-related fear (kinesiophobia), anxiety and depression, physical activity, and sleep duration. The COPD group also completed assessments of dyspnea, exercise tolerance (6-minute walk distance [6MWD]), and activities of daily living (ADL). Results The prevalence of pain was higher in the COPD group (85% vs 51%, p<0.001). The COPD group reported pain located in neck/shoulder, upper back, thorax and upper limbs, while the control group had more pain in the lower back. Pain catastrophizing and kinesiophobia were reported by 28% and 67% vs 9% and 42%, in the COPD and control groups respectively (both p<0.05). People with COPD and pain (n=58) reported greater dyspnea (p<0.001), and impairment in ADL (p<0.05), and lower 6MWD and physical activity (both p<0.01) compared to COPD participants without pain (n=10). Conclusion This study demonstrated that, compared to community-dwelling participants, there is a higher prevalence of chronic pain in people with COPD. Pain combined with dyspnea may impact adversely on cognitive function and lead to anxiety and depression, as well as greater impairment in exercise tolerance, physical activity, and ADL. These results suggested that it is necessary to assess the symptoms of chronic pain and inflect in chronic pain coping strategies.

[PMID: 34266401 PMCID: PMC8280683 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-021-01601-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2021] [Accepted: 06/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain is a common but underappreciated symptom experienced by people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The relationships between pain and physical activity (PA) and exercise capacity are poorly understood. METHODS This retrospective secondary analysis includes three cohorts of Veterans with COPD who participated in longitudinal studies evaluating PA and exercise capacity with objective measures of daily step counts and 6-min walk test (6MWT) distance, respectively. Pain was assessed using the bodily pain domain of the Veterans RAND-36. In two cohorts, participants were randomly assigned to a web-based, pedometer-mediated PA intervention which has previously been demonstrated to improve PA. RESULTS Three-hundred and seventy-three (373) unique study participants were included in this analysis. Eighty-three percent (n = 311) of the population reported at least mild pain and/or at least a little bit of interference due to pain at baseline. Cross-sectionally, greater bodily pain was associated with lower 6MWT distance (β = 0.51; 95% CI 0.20, 0.82; p = 0.0013). Longitudinally, worsening bodily pain was associated with a decline in 6MWT distance (β = 0.30; 95% CI 0.03, 0.58; p = 0.0312). There was no association between baseline bodily pain and baseline daily step counts, baseline bodily pain and change in PA, or change in bodily pain and change in PA. Compared to usual care, our PA intervention improved bodily pain scores (β = 6.17; 95% CI 1.84, 10.45; p = 0.0054). Bodily pain scores did not affect the impact of the intervention on daily step counts. CONCLUSION Pain is highly prevalent and significantly associated with lower exercise capacity among Veterans with COPD. Worsening pain co-occurred with decline in exercise capacity but not PA. Our intervention reduced pain, although pain did not affect the impact of the intervention on PA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND End-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic heart failure (CHF) and chronic renal failure (CRF) are characterized by a high burden of daily symptoms that, irrespective of the primary organ failure, are widely shared. AIMS To evaluate whether and to which extent symptom-based clusters of patients with end-stage COPD, CHF and CRF associate with patients' health status, mobility, care dependency and life-sustaining treatment preferences. METHODS 255 outpatients with a diagnosis of advanced COPD (n = 95), advanced CHF (n = 80) or CRF requiring dialysis (n = 80) were visited in their home environment and underwent a multidimensional assessment: clinical characteristics, symptom burden using Visual Analog Scale (VAS), health status questionnaires, timed "Up and Go" test, Care Dependency Scale and willingness to undergo mechanical ventilation or cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Three clusters were obtained applying K-means cluster analysis on symptoms' severity assessed via VAS. Cluster characteristics were compared using non-parametric tests. RESULTS Cluster 1 patients, with the least symptom burden, had a better quality of life, lower care dependency and were more willing to accept life-sustaining treatments than others. Cluster 2, with a high presence and severity of dyspnea, fatigue, cough, muscle weakness and mood problems, and Cluster 3, with the highest occurrence and severity of symptoms, reported similar care dependency and life-sustaining treatment preferences, while Cluster 3 reported the worst physical health status. DISCUSSION Symptom-based clusters identify patients with different health needs and might help to develop palliative care programs. CONCLUSION Clustering by symptoms identifies patients with different health status, care dependency and life-sustaining treatment preferences.

Abstract
This longitudinal study of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) aimed to investigate changes in pain characteristics (i.e., occurrence, intensity, and interference) and covariates associated with pain from study enrollment to 12 months, and to investigate if the different pain characteristics were associated with 5-year mortality. In total, 267 patients with COPD completed questionnaires five times over 1 year. The mean age of the patients was 63 years (standard deviation: 9.0), 53% were women, and 46% had very severe COPD. Median number of comorbidities was 2.0 (range: 0-11) and 47% of patients reported back/neck pain. Mixed models and Cox regression models were used for analyses. In total, 60% of the patients reported pain at baseline, and 61% at 12 months. The mixed model analyses revealed that those with better forced expiratory volume in 1 s (% predicted), more comorbidities, only primary school education, and more respiratory symptoms reported significantly higher average pain intensity. Moreover, those with more comorbidities, more respiratory symptoms, and more depression reported higher pain interference with function. At the 5-year follow-up, 64 patients (24%) were deceased, and the cumulative 5-year mortality rate was 22% (95% confidence interval [19-25]). Older age, lower forced expiratory volume in 1 s (% predicted), and higher pain interference at enrollment were all independently and significantly associated with higher 5-year mortality. Our findings show that many patients with COPD have persistent pain, and awareness regarding comorbidities and how pain interferes with their lives is needed.

Abstract
Cognitive and motor impairment are well documented in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, but their relationship has not been studied. This study evaluated and compared cognitive and motor performance during dual tasks and related dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) changes in oxygenated hemoglobin (ΔO2Hb), a proxy measure of neural activity, in patients with COPD and age-matched healthy individuals. Participants performed three single tasks: (1) backwards spelling cognitive task; (2) 30 m preferred paced walk; (3) 30 m fast walk, and two dual tasks: (4) preferred paced walk + backwards spelling; (5) fast paced walk + backwards spelling. The ΔO2Hb from left and right dorsolateral PFC were measured using functional near-infrared spectroscopy. Gait velocity was measured using a Zeno walkway. Compared to healthy adults (n = 20), patients with COPD (n = 15) had higher ΔO2Hb during single preferred (-0.344 ± 0.185 vs. 0.325 ± 0.208 µM; p = 0.011) and fast paced walk (-0.249 ± 0.120 vs. 0.486 ± 0.182 µM; p = 0.001) in right PFC. Among healthy adults, ΔO2Hb were higher bilaterally during preferred paced walking dual versus single task (right: 0.096 ± 0.159 vs. -0.344 ± 0.185 µM, p = 0.013; left: 0.114 ± 0.150 vs. -0.257 ± 0.175 µM, p = 0.049) and in right PFC during fast walking dual versus single task (0.102 ± 0.228 vs. -0.249 ± 0.120, p = 0.021). Patients with COPD did not increase O2Hb during dual versus single tasks. Patients with COPD exhibited slower velocity than older adults during all walking tasks. The lack of further increase in O2Hb from single to dual tasks in patients with COPD, may indicate reduced cognitive-motor capacity and contribute to poorer motor performance limiting safe ambulation. Dual tasking rehabilitation may improve neural efficiency to offset these risks.

Abstract
Chronic pain affects up to 88% of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and has been associated with comorbidities. However, with pain not evaluated during pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) assessments, it is unclear whether PR impacts pain intensity and coping ability. This study aimed to 1) determine the effect of PR on pain qualities, coping behavior and psychological symptoms in those with COPD and chronic pain; and 2) assess the impact of PR on exercise capacity and quality of life in individuals with COPD and chronic pain compared to those without pain. Patients with COPD and comorbidities enrolling in outpatient PR were assessed for chronic pain. Those with chronic pain completed the Brief Pain Inventory, Coping Strategies Questionnaire-24, Fear Avoidance Behavior Questionnaire and measures of anxiety and depression. Changes in HRQOL and 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) following PR were compared between participants with and without chronic pain. Thirty-four participants with chronic pain and 34 participants without pain were included (mean ± SD, FEV1 47 ± 19% predicted). In those with chronic pain, PR did not affect pain intensity (median[IQR] pre/post PR 3[2-5] vs. 4[2-6] points, p = 0.21), anxiety (7[2-9] vs. 5[3-8] points, p = 0.82) or depression (4[2-8] vs. 3[1-6] points, p = 0.38) and did not change pain coping strategies. Both groups improved in 6MWD (mean difference [95% CI] 17[-39 to 72] m), and those without pain had greater improvement in mastery (p = 0.013). PR was effective in patients with moderate to severe COPD whether or not they reported chronic pain at the time of their initial assessment.

Abstract
Chronic pain is highly prevalent and more common in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) than people of similar age/sex in the general population. This systematic review aimed to describe how frequently and in which contexts pain is considered in the clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for the broad management of COPD. Databases (Medline, Scopus, CiNAHL, EMbase, and clinical guideline) and websites were searched to identify current versions of COPD CPGs published in any language since 2006. Data on the frequency, context, and specific recommendations or strategies for the assessment or management of pain were extracted, collated, and reported descriptively. Of the 41 CPGs (English n = 20) reviewed, 16 (39%) did not mention pain. Within the remaining 25 CPGs, pain was mentioned 67 times (ranging from 1 to 10 mentions in a single CPG). The most frequent contexts for mentioning pain were as a potential side effect of specific pharmacotherapies (22 mentions in 13 CPGs), as part of differential diagnosis (14 mentions in 10 CPGs), and end of life or palliative care management (7 mentions in 6 CPGs). In people with COPD, chronic pain is common; adversely impacts quality of life, mood, breathlessness, and participation in activities of daily living; and warrants consideration within CPGs for COPD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain is prevalent in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) appears to be a feasible questionnaire to assess this symptom. However, the reliability and validity of the BPI have not been determined in individuals with COPD. This study aimed to determine the internal consistency, test-retest reliability and validity (construct, convergent, divergent and discriminant) of the BPI in individuals with COPD. METHODS In order to examine the test-retest reliability, individuals with COPD were recruited from pulmonary rehabilitation programmes to complete the BPI twice 1 week apart. In order to investigate validity, de-identified data was retrieved from two previous studies, including forced expiratory volume in 1-s, age, sex and data from four questionnaires: the BPI, short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ), 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) and Community Health Activities Model Program for Seniors (CHAMPS) questionnaire. RESULTS In total, 123 participants were included in the analyses (eligible data were retrieved from 86 participants and additional 37 participants were recruited). The BPI demonstrated excellent internal consistency and test-retest reliability. It also showed convergent validity with the SF-MPQ and divergent validity with the SF-36. The factor analysis yielded two factors of the BPI, which demonstrated that the two domains of the BPI measure the intended constructs. The BPI can also discriminate pain levels among COPD patients with varied levels of quality of life (SF-36) and physical activity (CHAMPS). CONCLUSION The BPI is a reliable and valid pain questionnaire that can be used to evaluate pain in COPD. SIGNIFICANCE This study formally established the reliability and validity of the BPI in individuals with COPD, which have not been determined in this patient group. The results of this study provide strong evidence that assessment results from this pain questionnaire are reliable and valid.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many patients reporting musculoskeletal pain present to Primary Care Physiotherapy with costly comorbid overlapping complaints that remain medically unexplained. These subjective health complaints (SHC) incorporate coexisting multi-site musculoskeletal pain and varied non-musculoskeletal complaints (e.g. anxiety, tiredness). The role of these non-musculoskeletal complaints is acknowledged in spinal musculoskeletal disorders, but less so for peripheral musculoskeletal disorders. OBJECTIVE This cross-sectional study explored the relationships between self-reported musculoskeletal pain sites, non-musculoskeletal complaints and disability among people reporting spinal or peripheral musculoskeletal pain. METHODS Fifty individuals with spinal musculoskeletal pain and fifty with peripheral musculoskeletal pain provided data on disability, number of musculoskeletal pain sites and non-musculoskeletal complaints. Relationships between these variables were examined for each group using Pearson's correlation coefficient and linear regression analysis. RESULTS Participants with spinal musculoskeletal pain recorded significantly more pain sites and non-musculoskeletal complaints than participants with peripheral musculoskeletal pain. However, there was no significant difference in disability between the groups. Non-musculoskeletal complaints were significantly associated with disability (correlation = 0.41, p < 0.01) and number of pain sites (correlation = 0.42, p < 0.01). Number of pain sites and disability were not significantly associated in either group. Participants with spinal musculoskeletal pain reported more tiredness, dizziness, anxiety and sleep problems. Participants reporting dizziness, anxiety, sadness/depression and sleep problems had higher disability. CONCLUSION Further studies must confirm the robustness of these associations, to permit comparisons between clinical and general populations and aid identification of causal factors. Considering SHC within individualised management programmes may improve outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Changes in posture in individuals with an obstructive respiratory disease have been reported, but the extent of these deviations and their clinical significance is not well understood. This study aimed to systematically review the literature of the skeletal structural alignment in children and adults with an obstructive respiratory disease, describe the measurement techniques used, and determine the clinical relevance of any alternations. METHODS Observational cohort or cross-sectional studies of postural assessment were identified, with 2 reviewers independently assessing study quality. RESULTS A total of 18 studies were included, 12 in cystic fibrosis (CF), 5 in asthma, and 1 in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The overall quality assessment rating was 12.6 out of 16. Increased thoracic kyphosis or scoliosis was found in both children and adults with CF. Increased shoulder protraction and elevation were evident in asthma and COPD, although changes in spinal curvature were variable. The clinical impact of postural changes was diverse, with an inconsistent influence on lung function. A mix of methods was applied for postural assessment. CONCLUSIONS Skeletal structural malalignment appears to be present in some individuals with an obstructive respiratory disease, although the extent of alterations and its clinical impact is variable. Photogrammetry is used to provide a comprehensive assessment of posture in these populations.

Abstract
In addition to dyspnea and fatigue, pain is a prevalent symptom in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Understanding the relative prevalence, magnitude, and interference with aspects of daily living of these symptoms can improve COPD management. Therefore, the purposes of this study were to: (1) compare the prevalence and magnitude of dyspnea, fatigue, and pain and how each limits aspects of daily living; (2) determine the association between pain and the other two symptoms; and (3) assess the impact of these symptoms on quality of life in COPD. Participants were recruited from pulmonary rehabilitation programs. Pain, dyspnea, and fatigue were measured using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI), and Dyspnea Inventory (DI), respectively. Quality of life was measured using the Clinical COPD Questionnaire (CCQ). The prevalence of dyspnea, fatigue, and pain were 93%, 77%, and 74%, respectively. Individuals with COPD reported similar severity scores of the three symptoms. Dyspnea interfered with general activity more than pain (F1.7,79.9 = 3.1, p < 0.05), whilst pain interfered with mood (F1.8, 82.7 = 3.6, p < 0.05) and sleep (F1,46 = 7.4, p < 0.01) more than dyspnea and fatigue. These three symptoms were moderately-to-highly correlated with each other (ρ = 0.49-0.78, p < 0.01) and all individually impacted quality of life. In summary, pain is a common symptom in addition to dyspnea and fatigue in COPD; all three interfere similarly among aspects of daily living with some exceptions. Accordingly, management of COPD should include a multifaceted approach that addresses pain as well as dyspnea and fatigue.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine comorbidities that cause pain and the potential contributors to pain in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). DESIGN Prospective cross-sectional survey study. SETTING Pulmonary rehabilitation programs of 6 centers. PARTICIPANTS A convenience sample of individuals with COPD (N=137) who attended pulmonary rehabilitation programs. In total, 100 (73%) returned the survey packages. Of those responders, 96 participants (70%) were included in the analyses. INTERVENTIONS Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Pain was measured using the Brief Pain Inventory. The questionnaire used to obtain information about health conditions that might contribute to pain and a medication record asked, in lay terms, about comorbidities that cause pain. The health conditions that cause pain were then validated by health professionals. Demographics, fatigue, dyspnea, quality of life, and self-efficacy were also measured using questionnaires. RESULTS Pain was reported in 71% (68/96) of participants. Low back pain was the most common location (41%). Arthritis (75%), back problems (47%), and muscle cramps (46%) were the most common comorbidities that caused pain. Lower self-efficacy, and renting rather than home ownership increased the likelihood of pain (P<.05). Pain severity and Brief Fatigue Inventory scores contributed to pain interference scores (P<.05). CONCLUSIONS Pain was highly prevalent in pulmonary rehabilitation program participants with COPD. The most common causes of pain were musculoskeletal conditions. Pain severity and higher levels of fatigue contributed to how pain interfered with daily aspects of living. The assessment and management of pain need to be addressed within the overall care of individuals with COPD.
