Abstract
The perception of pain is strongly influenced by various social, emotional, and cognitive factors. A psychological variable which has consistently been shown to exert its influence on pain is a cognitive process referred to as pain catastrophizing. Numerous studies have found it to be a strong predictor of pain intensity and disability across different clinical populations. It signifies a maladaptive response to pain marked by an exaggerated negative assessment, magnification of symptoms related to pain, and, in general, a tendency to experience marked pain-related worry, as well as experiencing feelings of helplessness when it comes to dealing with pain. Pain catastrophizing has been correlated to many adverse pain-related outcomes, including poor treatment response, unsatisfactory quality of life, and high disability related to both acute and chronic pain. Furthermore, there has been consistent evidence in support of a correlation between pain catastrophizing and mental health disorders, such as anxiety and depression. In this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge regarding pain catastrophizing, with special emphasis on its clinical significance, and emerging treatment modalities which target it.

Abstract
Central neuropathic pain (CNP) and musculoskeletal pain (MSP) are often comorbid with multiple sclerosis (MS), yet data on the emotional burden entailed by this comorbidity are very limited. We studied whether MS patients with CNP exhibited greater emotional burden and pain severity than those with MSP and whether this emotional burden was attributed to the MS, the chronic pain, or both. Participants were 125 MS patients (55 with CNP; 30 with MSP; 40 MS pain-free) and 30 healthy controls (HCs). Participants completed questionnaires assessing pain interference, pain catastrophizing, depression, anxiety, stress, hypervigilance, and chronic pain. Group comparisons and a two-step cluster analysis were performed, and the association between cluster membership and clinical group membership was evaluated. Chronic pain was stronger and more widespread in the CNP group than in the MSP group. Both pain groups had higher pain interference, pain catastrophizing, and stress compared to MS pain-free and HC groups. All MS groups had greater depression levels compared to HCs, and the CNP group had the highest anxiety level. The "high psychological distress" cluster comprised mainly participants with CNP (57%), and the "minimal psychological distress" cluster comprised mainly the MS pain-free and HC groups. In conclusion, CNP seems to induce greater emotional burden and pain severity than does MSP. Whereas depression may be attributed to MS, and anxiety to CNP, enhanced pain interference, catastrophizing, and stress may be attributed to the comorbidity of MS and chronic pain. Identifying these traits among MS patients and targeting them in management programs may contribute to more effective, individually based care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical activity is encouraged for people with Multiple Sclerosis. Yoga is a popular form of physical activity and is chosen by some people with Multiple Sclerosis. However, little is known about the impact of yoga for this population, alongside what influences ongoing engagement. AIM The aim of this study is to qualitatively explore the impact of online home-based yoga on people with Multiple Sclerosis and to explore factors that influence engagement. METHODS A qualitative study using semi-structured interviews and focus groups with people with Multiple Sclerosis and a yoga teacher. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Ethical Approval was gained from Northumbria University. FINDINGS Three overarching themes emerged from the analysis. 'Yoga as engagement in physical activity' captured the reasoning for participating in yoga and how this method of physical activity was an alternative to physical activity done prior to diagnosis. Frustration was apparent within this theme that some individuals were unable to engage in the range of physical activity that they wished to. 'Yoga is a personalised approach' demonstrated the flexibility and inclusivity of yoga, for individuals with varying symptoms to be able to engage with. Finally, 'yoga impacts individuals both physically and psychologically' captured the focus on the psychological impact of yoga, improving wellbeing and control. CONCLUSIONS Yoga gives people with Multiple Sclerosis the feeling of control over their symptoms and a means to engage with meaningful physical activity. Prior involvement in physical activity influenced engagement in yoga and wanting to push themselves. There was reluctance among this group to engage with aerobic activity, which warrants future investigation and support from health and exercise professionals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain and fatigue are highly prevalent in multiple sclerosis (MS) and are associated with adverse physical, social, and psychological outcomes. There is a critical need to identify modifiable factors that can reduce the impact of these symptoms on daily life. PURPOSE This study examined the moderating role of dispositional coping in the relationships between daily fluctuations (i.e., deviations from a person's usual level) in pain and fatigue and same-day functional/affective outcomes. METHODS Adults with MS (N = 102) completed a self-report measure of dispositional coping (Brief COPE), followed by 7 days of ecological momentary assessment of pain and fatigue and end-of-day diaries assessing same-day pain interference, fatigue impact, social participation, upper extremity and lower extremity functioning, depressive symptoms, and positive affect and well-being (PAWB). Multilevel models tested interactions between daily symptom fluctuations and dispositional coping (avoidant/approach) in predicting same-day outcomes. RESULTS Higher approach coping mitigated the same-day association between pain and pain interference, whereas higher avoidant coping augmented this association. Daily PAWB benefits were seen for those who reported high approach coping and low avoidant coping; effects were only observed on days of low pain (for approach coping) and low fatigue (for avoidant coping). Avoidant coping was associated with worse fatigue impact, social participation, lower extremity functioning, and depressive symptoms. CONCLUSIONS When faced with pain and fatigue, avoidant coping is associated with increased, and approach coping with decreased, functional/affective difficulties in the daily lives of individuals with MS. Altering coping strategy use may reduce the impact of pain and fatigue.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anxiety symptoms and anxiety disorders are prevalent and burdensome, yet poorly managed in multiple sclerosis (MS). Indeed, anxiety disorders occur in 22% of people with MS, and anxiety can negatively impact physical function, cognition, and quality of life. Currently, there are no treatment guidelines available for anxiety in MS, based on limited information regarding the efficacy of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. Exercise training may be a promising avenue for treatment of anxiety in MS, and this is based, in part, on a wealth of evidence in the general population of adults. This review provides an overview of anxiety and evidence from meta-analyses and systematic reviews for current treatments options in the general population and MS. We further make a case for exercise as a novel treatment approach that requires focal examination in persons with MS. METHODS We conducted a scoping review of available research, including systematic reviews and meta-analyses, on anxiety and its prevalence, predictors, consequences, and treatments in MS. We then noted limitations with existing evidence regarding treatment options, and then provided a backdrop based on evidence from the general population for the novel proposition of exercise as treatment of anxiety in MS. RESULTS Pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy treatments of anxiety may be efficacious, but come with significant limitations, especially for persons with MS. Exercise is a promising novel avenue for treatment of anxiety in MS, and has a positive side-effect profile. CONCLUSION Anxiety is under-investigated and poorly treated in MS. There is a paucity of evidence for the relationship between exercise training and anxiety in MS, but the evidence in the general population supports the urgent need for systematic examination of the efficacy of exercise in treating anxiety symptoms and disorders in persons with MS.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
The plethora of self-administered questionnaires to assess positive psychosocial factors complicates questionnaire selection. This study aimed to identify and reach consensus on the most suitable self-administered questionnaires to assess resilience, optimism, pain acceptance and social support in people with pain.
Design
A three-round modified Delphi study.
Participants
Forty international experts.
Methods
In Round 1, the experts suggested questionnaires deemed appropriate to assess resilience, optimism, pain acceptance and/or social support. In Round 2, experts indicated whether they considered the suggested questionnaires to be suitable (Yes/No/Don’t know) to assess these psychosocial factors, taking into consideration content, feasibility, personal experience and the measurement properties which we provided for each questionnaire. Questionnaires that were considered suitable by the majority of experts (≥60%) were retained for Round 3. In Round 3, the suitability of each questionnaire was rated on a 0–10 Likert scale. Consensus was reached if ≥ 75% of experts rated the questionnaire ≥7.
Results
From the 67 questionnaires suggested in Round 1, one questionnaire could be recommended per domain. For resilience: Pain Resilience Scale; for optimism: Revised Version of the Life Orientation Test; for pain acceptance: 8-item and Revised Versions of the Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire; for social support: Emotional Support Item Bank of the PROMIS tool. Consensus for these questionnaires was also reached in a sensitivity analysis which excluded the ratings of experts involved in the development, translation and/or validation of relevant questionnaires.
Conclusion
We advocate the use of these recommended questionnaires so data can be compared and pooled more easily.

Non-Medical Factors Associated with the Outcome of Treatment of Chronic Non-Malignant Pain: A Cross-Sectional Study. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:2881.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic pain is a global public health issue with increasing prevalence. Chronic pain causes sleep disorder, reactive anxiety, and depression, impairs the quality of life; it burdens the individual and society as a whole. The aim of this study was to examine non-medical factors related to the outcome of the treatment of chronic non-malignant pain. METHODS A cross-sectional study with two groups of patients was conducted using a questionnaire with biological, psychological, and social characteristics of patients. Since this study was cross-sectional, it was not possible to determine whether some factors were the cause or the consequence of unsuccessful treatment outcome, which is at the same time one of the disadvantages of cross-sectional studies. RESULTS The poor outcome of the treatment of chronic non-malignant pain in a multivariate binary logistic regression model was statistically significantly associated with the lower quality of life (OR = 0.95 (95% CI: 0.91-0.99; p = 0.009), and higher depression level OR = 1.08 (95% CI: 1.02-1.14; p = 0.009). The outcome of the treatment was not directly related to social support measured by the multivariate binary logistic regression model (OR = 1.04, 95% CI: 0.95-1.15, p = 0.395), but solitary life (without partner) was (OR = 2.16 (95% CI: 1.03-4.53; p = 0.043). CONCLUSION The typical patient with a poor pain management outcome is retired, presents depressive behavior; their pain disturbs general activity and sleeping. Moreover, they have a physically disturbed quality of life and require self-treatment due to the inaccessibility of doctors and therapies. The principle of treatment of patients with chronic, non-malignant pain should take into account a biopsychosocial approach with individually adjusted procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite being in clinical remission, many people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) live with fatigue, chronic abdominal pain and bowel urgency or incontinence that limit their quality of life. We aim to test the effectiveness of an online self-management programme (BOOST), developed using cognitive behavioural principles and a theoretically informed logic model, and delivered with facilitator support. PRIMARY RESEARCH QUESTION In people with IBD who report symptoms of fatigue, pain or urgency and express a desire for intervention, does a facilitator-supported tailored (to patient needs) online self-management programme for fatigue, pain and faecal urgency/incontinence improve IBD-related quality of life (measured using the UK-IBDQ) and global rating of symptom relief (0-10 scale) compared with care as usual? METHODS A pragmatic two-arm, parallel group randomised controlled trial (RCT), of a 12-session facilitator-supported online cognitive behavioural self-management programme versus care as usual to manage symptoms of fatigue, pain and faecal urgency/incontinence in IBD. Patients will be recruited through a previous large-scale survey of unselected people with inflammatory bowel disease. The UK Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire and global rating of symptom relief at 6 months are the co-primary outcomes, with multiple secondary outcomes measured also at 6 and 12 months post randomisation to assess maintenance. The RCT has an embedded pilot study, health economics evaluation and process evaluation. We will randomise 680 patients, 340 in each group. Demographic characteristics and outcome measures will be presented for both study groups at baseline. The UK-IBDQ and global rating of symptom relief at 6 and 12 months post randomisation will be compared between the study groups. DISCUSSION The BOOST online self-management programme for people with IBD-related symptoms of fatigue, pain and urgency has been designed to be easily scalable and implemented. If it is shown to improve patients' quality of life, this trial will enable clinicians and patients to make informed management decisions. This is the first trial, to our knowledge, focused on multiple symptoms prioritised by both people with IBD and health professionals. TRIAL REGISTRATION ISRCTN71618461 .

Abstract
Pain is an important and frequent symptom in multiple sclerosis (MS), which leads to a low quality of life, increased disability level, and lack of employment and mental health. Recently, studies have shown increased interest in pain in MS and there is a growing evidence of its prevalence. However, the literature suffers from lack of experimental studies focusing on pain reduction. This topical review summarizes the current knowledge about pain in MS with its definitions, assessments, treatments and rehabilitation within a holistic perspective.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pain is frequently reported by patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Pain in IBD is not fully explained by disease activity or other clinical findings, and a recent systematic review suggested that psychosocial factors have an important role in IBD-pain. The aim of this study was to investigate psychosocial factors associated with pain in IBD. METHODS 297 adults (>16 years) with IBD were recruited from outpatient clinics (n = 114) and online (n = 183). Participants completed validated questionnaires assessing pain and potential emotional, cognitive and behavioural correlates. Socio-demographic and clinical factors including disease activity were also recorded. RESULTS 243 (81.8%) of participants reported pain. Of these 243, mean age was 36 years; 153 (63%) had Crohn's disease, 90 (37%) had ulcerative colitis, and 165 (67.9%) were female. 62.6% reported mild, 31.6% moderate and 5.8% severe pain. 40.3% of participants with pain met established criteria for chronic pain and 18.5% reported opioid use. Female gender, smoking, surgery and steroid use were associated with greater pain severity. Psychosocial factors associated with pain-related interference included depression, catastrophising, fear avoidance, lower self-efficacy and worse mental well-being. Regression models explained 45.6% of the variance in pain severity and 49.7% of pain interference. Psychosocial factors explained 9.5% and 24% of this variance respectively when controlling for demographic and clinical variables. CONCLUSIONS Pain in IBD is significantly associated with cognitive and behavioural factors as well as low mood. This study contributes to a biopsychosocial understanding of pain in IBD and identifies important targets for future interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Multidisciplinary rehabilitation improves illness outcomes and is recommended in clinical guidelines for multiple sclerosis (MS). However, many people with MS do not make use of rehabilitation. We do not know much about the barriers to the use of rehabilitation in MS, but in other patient groups, illness representations have proven to be predictors of service utilization. Therefore, the aim of our study was to explore whether, in patients with MS, illness representations are associated with self-reports of rehabilitation use in the past and the intention to use rehabilitation in the future, beyond sociodemographic and illness-related factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients were recruited in a cross-sectional nationwide online survey in Germany. Hierarchical binary logistic regression analysis was used to analyze whether illness representations are associated with the use of rehabilitation in the past and the intention to use rehabilitation in the future, over and above socio-demographic and illness-related variables. RESULTS There were 590 patients, who had MS, participating in the study. Illness representations were correlated to both outcome variables beyond sociodemographic and illness-related factors: The probabilities of having the intention to use rehabilitation and of making using of rehabilitation were higher in patients who believed that their MS was controllable by treatment and perceived that their MS would have severe consequences. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that addressing patients' illness representations may facilitate the intention to use and the use of multimodal rehabilitation, contributing to better illness outcomes.

Abstract
Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) engage in various coping behaviours in order to manage their disease. The aim of this study is to find out if the self-esteem of patients is associated with coping strategies - problem-focused (e.g. making a plan of action when confronted with a problem); emotion focused (e.g. get emotional support from community); and focused on stopping unpleasant emotions and thoughts (e.g. keeping oneself from feeling sad), and if it can enhance or hinder coping efforts in the disease management. We collected data from 155 consecutive MS patients who completed the Coping Self-Efficacy Scale (CSE) and the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (RSE). Explained variance for problem-focused coping, emotion-focused coping, and coping focused on stopping unpleasant emotions and thoughts was 33, 24, and 31%, respectively. Self-esteem seems to be associated with coping strategies indicating that feelings of self-worth are linked with the ability to handle difficult life situations and can be helpful in chronic disease management.

Peterson L, Lundgren J, Carlsson SG. A multi-facet pain survey of psychosocial complaints among patients with long-standing non-malignant pain. Scand J Pain 2017; 17:68-76. [DOI: 10.1016/j.sjpain.2017.07.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2016] [Revised: 06/28/2017] [Accepted: 07/05/2017] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
Abstract
Background and aims
Psychometric inventories and scales intended to measure cognitive, emotional and behavioural concomitants of pain are typically constructed by deducting items from theoretically derived concepts related to pain states, e.g. social support, perceived control, depressiveness, and catas- trophizing. The aim of this study was to design a clinically useful, generic pain distress inventory - The Multi-Facet Pain Survey (MFPS) - inductively derived from psychological and social complaints reported by a study group of individuals with severe chronic nonmalignant pain.
Methods
Extensive clinical interviews with hospitalized chronic pain patients were made by clinical psychologists. The purpose was to highlight the patients’ pain histories and their beliefs and feelings about the pain, and to determine factors possibly influencing their rehabilitation potential. The types of distress reported were sorted into categories with a procedure similar to content analysis. Distress reports were converted to statements, forming items in a questionnaire, the Multi-Facet Pain Survey.
Results
Our analyses supported a distress structure including 15 categories, or “facets”, comprising in all 190 types of psychosocial distress. Ten of the facets denote beliefs about the present condition and aspects of distress experienced in daily life (e.g. cognitive problems); three facets reflect the illness history, and two the patient’s views on future prospects. To improve the clinical utility, we shortened the scale into a 53 items inventory. A factor analysis of these 53 items revealed four clinically meaningful factors: (1) stress-related exhaustion; (2) impact of pain on daily life; (3) self-inefficacy in regard to future prospects; and (4) negative experiences of health care. While the second factor represents distress directly related to the pain, the first factor reflects long-term exhaustion effects of the pain condition similar to those seen in individuals exposed to long periods of stress. Items loading in the third factor reflect a pessimistic outlook on the future. The content validity of the scale was explored by predicting and testing correlations between the 15 MFPS facets, and the Symptom Checklist (SCL-90) and the West Haven Yale Multidimensional Pain Inventory (MPI). Some of the MFPS facets showed little or no agreement with any of the subscales of the comparison measures. The homogeneity was satisfactory both for facets and factors.
Conclusions
The Multi-Facet Pain Survey (MFPS) facets cover a broad array of experienced psychosocial distress in patients with severe, longstanding pain. Some facets of psychosocial impact of longstanding pain states shown in the qualitatively derived distress facets, or by the latent factors found in the factor analysis, may complement our understanding of the long-term impact of pain. Consequently, MFPS may improve the assessment of psychological and social complaints and complications in patients with chronic pain.
Implications
The MFPS will hopefully be an assessment tool supporting the psychological contribu-tion to a biopsychosocial evaluation of patients with severe, longstanding pain. By exposing a broadrange of suffering, MFPS may contribute to alternative treatment options and a better prognosis of future rehabilitation.

Abstract
Background People with multiple sclerosis (MS) often experience pain, which can interfere with mobility, employment, and quality of life (QOL). Methods This cross-sectional study explored associations between pain, demographic, disease, and modifiable lifestyle factors in an international sample of people with MS recruited online. Results Substantial pain, of moderate/severe intensity and interfering at least moderately with work/household or enjoyment of life in the past 4 weeks, was reported by 682/2,362 (28.9%). Substantial pain was associated with fatigue (odds ratio (OR): 6.7, 95% confidence interval (CI): 4.9,9.3), depression (OR:4.0, 95% CI:3.2,5.1), anxiety (OR:2.4, 95% CI:1.9,2.9), and lower mental health QOL (Mean Difference: −14.7, 95% CI:−16.6,−12.8). Regression analyses showed that smoking (OR: 2.0, 95% CI:1.35,2.87) and obesity (OR:2.1, 95% CI: 1.5,2.8), moderate alcohol use (OR: 0.7, 95% CI:0.5,0.9), moderate (OR 0.7, 95% CI: 0.55,0.98) or high (OR 0.6, 95% CI: 0.4,0.8) physical activity level, and healthy diet (OR 0.8, 95% CI: 0.75,0.95, per 10 points) were associated with substantial pain. Conclusion Our results show clear associations with modifiable lifestyle factors and substantial pain in MS. These factors are already considered in the prevention and management of pain in other populations but have not previously been considered in MS. Conversely, pain and associated common MS comorbidities, such as depression, anxiety, and fatigue, may hamper efforts to start or maintain healthy behaviors. Strategies to overcome these barriers need to be considered. Further research should clarify the direction of these associations.

Abstract
PURPOSE Two-thirds of the people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) experience pain. Medications provide minimal relief, and current non-pharmacological interventions lack a clear conceptualization of MS pain. This study explored the potential efficacy of a telephone-supported hybrid cognitive behavior therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy self-management intervention for pwMS based on an empirically supported model of MS pain using a replicated single-case series design. METHODS Seven pwMS with varied demographic and disease characteristics completed the 8-week home-based program alongside 3 hours of telephone support. Online questionnaires were completed every four days for 16 weeks (4-weeks baseline, 8-weeks treatment, 4-weeks follow-up). The primary outcomes were pain severity and pain interference. Psychological process variables drawn from the MS pain model were also completed, and post-treatment qualitative interviews conducted. RESULTS Simulation modeling analysis (SMA) showed three patients had large improvements in pain outcomes, two showed no change and two worsened. Five participants showed significant change on various psychological process variables. Change in pain catastrophizing was the most consistent finding. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest a self-management program for MS pain with minimal therapy support may be effective for some pwMS, but not those with more complex comorbidities. The participants suggested web-based delivery may simplify the approach, and therapist telephone contact was highly valued. Implications for Rehabilitation This case series suggests a hybrid CBT/ACT self-management workbook program for MS pain improves severity and impact of pain in some pwMS. Pain-related catastrophizing reduced in most pwMS, whilst change in other ACT and CBT process variables varied across the individuals. PwMS feedback suggests a tailored web-based delivery of the program with therapist telephone support may be optimal. PwMS with serious co-morbid depression and very advanced disease may not respond well to this self-management approach.

Psychological Considerations in the Assessment and Treatment of Pain in Neurorehabilitation and Psychological Factors Predictive of Therapeutic Response: Evidence and Recommendations from the Italian Consensus Conference on Pain in Neurorehabilitation. Front Psychol 2016; 7:468.

Abstract
Background: In order to provide effective care to patients suffering from chronic pain secondary to neurological diseases, health professionals must appraise the role of the psychosocial factors in the genesis and maintenance of this condition whilst considering how emotions and cognitions influence the course of treatment. Furthermore, it is important not only to recognize the psychological reactions to pain that are common to the various conditions, but also to evaluate how these syndromes differ with regards to the psychological factors that may be involved. As an extensive evaluation of these factors is still lacking, the Italian Consensus Conference on Pain in Neurorehabilitation (ICCPN) aimed to collate the evidence available across these topics. Objectives: To determine the psychological factors which are associated with or predictive of pain secondary to neurological conditions and to assess the influence of these aspects on the outcome of neurorehabilitation. Methods: Two reviews were performed. In the first, a PUBMED search of the studies assessing the association between psychological factors and pain or the predictive value of these aspects with respect to chronic pain was conducted. The included papers were then rated with regards to their methodological quality and recommendations were made accordingly. In the second study, the same methodology was used to collect the available evidence on the predictive role of psychological factors on the therapeutic response to pain treatments in the setting of neurorehabilitation. Results: The first literature search identified 1170 results and the final database included 189 articles. Factors such as depression, anxiety, pain catastrophizing, coping strategies, and cognitive functions were found to be associated with pain across the various conditions. However, there are differences between chronic musculoskeletal pain, migraine, neuropathy, and conditions associated with complex disability with regards to the psychological aspects that are involved. The second PUBMED search yielded 252 studies, which were all evaluated. Anxiety, depression, pain catastrophizing, coping strategies, and pain beliefs were found to be associated to different degrees with the outcomes of multidisciplinary programs, surgery, physical therapies, and psychological interventions. Finally, sense of presence was found to be related to the effectiveness of virtual reality as a distraction tool. Conclusions: Several psychological factors are associated with pain secondary to neurological conditions and should be acknowledged and addressed in order to effectively treat this condition. These factors also predict the therapeutic response to the neurorehabilitative interventions.
