Abstract
BACKGROUND Ageing causes changes in the function of musculoskeletal systems and disability, and injury among older adults. This study aimed to determine the effect of corrective exercises on musculoskeletal disorders among older adults residing in a nursing home in Iran. METHOD This controlled clinical trial study was conducted on 58 older adults (29 samples in each group). The intervention group performed corrective exercises for 8 weeks and three sessions per week and each session lasted for one hour. The pre-test was performed one week before intervention and the post-test one week after the 8-week intervention. The research instruments included Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ), and the pain visual analog scale (VAS). Descriptive and inferential (Chi-square, Mann-Whitney, Wilcoxon, and McNemar test) statistics were used to analyze the data using SPSS software version 19. RESULTS the majority of the participants were males (67.2%) and in the age range of 60-74 years (82.8%). The mean age of samples in intervention and control groups was 68.45 (SD = 5.38) and 69.17 (SD = 5.86), respectively. The results showed that the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) was decreased in the intervention group after the intervention (%Δ = -34.68, p < .05). The results also showed a statistically significant decrease in pain intensity of musculoskeletal in the intervention group, after the intervention (%Δ = -68.34, p < .001). CONCLUSIONS Corrective exercises reduce the prevalence of MSDs and the pain intensity among older adults. It is recommended to pay attention to these exercises to improve physical health and reduce the prevalence of MSDs among older adults.

A Quantitative Measure of Pain with Current Perception Threshold, Pain Equivalent Current, and Quantified Pain Degree: A Retrospective Study. J Clin Med 2023; 12:5476. [PMID: 37685543 PMCID: PMC10487999 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12175476] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Revised: 08/19/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: As a subjective sensation, pain is difficult to evaluate objectively. The assessment of pain degree is largely dependent on subjective methods such as the numeric rating scale (NRS). The PainVisionTM system has recently been introduced as an objective pain degree measurement tool. The purpose of this study was to analyze correlations between the NRS and the current perception threshold (CPT), pain equivalent current (PEC), and quantified pain degree (QPD). Methods: Medical records of 398 subjects who visited the pain clinic in a university hospital from March 2017 to February 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. To evaluate the pain degree, NRS, CPT, PEC, and QPD were measured. Subjects were categorized into two groups: the Pain group (n = 355) and the No-pain group (n = 43). Results: The NRS showed a negative correlation with CPT (R = -0.10, p = 0.054) and a positive correlation with QPD (R = 0.13, p = 0.008). Among various diseases, only spinal disease patients showed a negative correlation between CPT and NRS (R = -0.22, p = 0.003). Additionally, there were significant differences in CPT and QPD between the Pain and No-pain groups (p = 0.005 and p = 0.002, respectively). Conclusions: CPT and QPD measured using the PainVisionTM system could be used to estimate pain intensity and the presence of pain. These parameters would be considered useful for predicting pain itself and its intensity.

Abstract
Introduction: The complex and multidimensional nature of pain poses a major challenge in clinical pain assessments. In this study, we aimed to evaluate a novel approach combining quantitative sensory testing (QST) with event-related potential measurements for assessment of experimental pain in healthy individuals. Methods: QST was performed with a commercial device (PainVision, PS-2100), and numeric rating scale (NRS) scores after exposure to different sensory stimuli were reported by the participants. Resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) was simultaneously performed to capture the cortical responses to peripheral stimulation. Results: Pain scores increased with the intensity of stimuli, with mean NRS scores of 2.7 ± 1.0 after mild stimuli and 5.6 ± 1.0 after moderate stimuli. A reproducible, significant P2-N2 complex was evoked by both mild and moderately painful stimuli, but not by non-painful stimuli. The latency of pain-related potentials was not significantly different between stimuli. The amplitudes of both P2 and N2 components significantly increased when intense nociception was applied, and the increments mainly originated from theta oscillations. Conclusion: The combination of QST with EEG was feasible for subjective and objective pain assessment. Distinct patterns of brain potentials were associated with the phenotype of the peripheral stimuli (e.g., noxious versus. innoxious, high versus. low pain intensity).

Abstract
Introduction Persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) frequently report pain that negatively affects their quality of life. Evidence linking pain and corticospinal excitability in MS is sparse. We aimed to (1) examine differences in corticospinal excitability in MS participants with and without pain and (2) explore predictors of pain. Methods Sixty-four participants rated their pain severity on a visual analog scale (VAS). Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and validated clinical instruments characterized corticospinal excitability and subjective disease features like mood and fatigue. We retrieved information on participants' prescriptions and disability status from their clinical records. Results Fifty-five percent of participants reported pain that affected their daily functioning. Persons with pain had significantly greater fatigue and lower area under the excitatory motor evoked potential (MEP) recruitment curve (eREC AUC), a measure of total corticospinal excitability. After controlling for age, disability status, and pain medications, increased fatigue and decreased eREC AUC together explained 40% of the variance in pain. Discussion Pain in MS is multifactorial and relates to both greater fatigue and lesser corticospinal excitability. Future work should better characterize relationships between these outcomes to develop targeted pain interventions such as neuromodulation. Summary We examined pain in MS. Individuals with pain had higher fatigue and lower corticospinal excitability than those without pain. These outcomes significantly predicted self-reported pain.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the effects of analgesia by sacral surface electrical stimulation on lower abdominal pain in women with primary dysmenorrhoea. Design Explorative study. Participants Eleven female university students, who regularly experience difficulty in their university work due to menstrual pain, or who use analgesics for more than one day each month, were recruited. Methods Sacral surface electrical stimulation, 5 Hz for 15 min, was performed after the onset of menstruation. Electrodes were placed on the skin, directly above the second and fourth sacral foramina. Visual analogue scale and degree of pain (calculated by using a low current to assess pain) were determined before and after electrical stimulation. Results Visual analogue scale score and degree of pain decreased significantly immediately after electrical stimulation (p < 0.001). A correlation was observed between visual analogue scale score and degree of pain before and after electrical stimulation (r=0.516, p <0.001). No side-effects were observed in any participant. Conclusion Sacral surface electrical stimulation may provide immediate pain relief in women with dysmenorrhoea and lower abdominal pain.

Abstract
Numbness and pain are currently evaluated using subjective methods such as the visual analogue scale (VAS). PainVision (PV) is an analytical instrument that was designed to quantitatively assess sense perception and nociception in patients. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is one of the most important adverse events that renders prolonged chemotherapy difficult. To assess the features of CIPN, we aimed to compare PV methods with existing methods. A total of 73 patients received oxaliplatin for metastatic colorectal cancer. Registered patients included 37 men and 36 women in the range of 37 to 89 years (median 70). CIPN was evaluated a total of 483 times (median per patient six times). Our study examined the correlation between evaluation methods of CIPN using VAS and PV, respectively. The average VAS (hand), VAS (foot) and PV scores of CIPN were 18.4 (range: 0–100), 23.8 (range: 0–100), and 24.7 (range: 0–496), respectively. VAS (hand), VAS (foot), and FACT/GOG-NTX (NTX2, NTX4 and NTX8) were significantly correlated with PV. PV showed no correlation with a Disk-Criminator or the monofilament test used as a quantitative evaluation. The evaluation of CIPN is complex, and further improvement is required for evaluation with PV.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to validate a simplified method of quantifying chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy using the PainVision PS-2100® (PV) electrical perception system. METHODS We assessed patients diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or peritoneal cancer and were about to undergo first-time paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy. Peripheral neuropathy was assessed before and after chemotherapy administration in all patients according to the National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0 (NCI-CTCAE4.0), using a conventional assessment in combination with the PV system. The PV device comprises electrodes attached to the ulnar side of the forearm and the first joint of index fingers on both the left and right sides to measure the electrical perceptual threshold. The average of three threshold measurements was recorded for each patient. RESULTS Thirty female patients (age 51.6 ± 12.2 [mean ± SD]) were included, and median number of chemotherapy drug treatments was 5 (first quartile: 4, second quartile: 5, and third quartile: 5). Twenty-seven patients (90%) reported posttreatment numbness; NCI-CTCAE4.0 perceptual anomaly grades were as follows: G1, 57 (40%); G2, 19 (13%); and G3, 7 (5%). A positive correlation was identified between right medial side PV threshold score and perceptual anomaly grade on measurements of the inner right-hand side only. CONCLUSION Our preliminary results suggest that peripheral neuropathy may be quantified using PV. As CIPN often lowers QOL, it needs to be appropriately evaluated. Future studies with a larger patient cohort and methodological refinements to improve accuracy are warranted.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin is a key chemotherapy drug in patients with colorectal cancer. Administration of oxaliplatin via a peripheral vein often causes vascular pain. However, no studies have evaluated vascular pain in patients with colorectal cancer in relation to peripheral venous administration of chemotherapy with or without oxaliplatin. We evaluated oxaliplatin-induced vascular pain using subjective and objective methods. We determined if oxaliplatin induced vascular pain in patients with colorectal cancer using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and a PainVision PS-2100 device. We compared VAS score between chemotherapy regimens with or without oxaliplatin, and between genders. We also examined the correlations of VAS score with pain intensity examined by the PainVision PS-2100, and with age and vessel diameter. A total of 98 patients with colorectal cancer were enrolled in this study, including 78 patients who received oxaliplatin via peripheral venous administration and 20 who received chemotherapy without oxaliplatin. The median VAS scores in patients with and without oxaliplatin were 36.5 (interquartile range 9.0–60.0) and 0 (0–4.0), respectively (P < 0.001), and the median pain intensities according to PainVision were 43.5 (14.3–98) and 36.5 (9.3–58.5), respectively (P < 0.001). There was a positive correlation between VAS and pain intensity (r = 0.584), but no correlation between VAS score and age (r = −0.174) or vessel diameter (r = −0.107). Peripheral venous administration of oxaliplatin induced vascular pain, measured both subjectively and objectively, in patients with colorectal cancer, regardless of vessel diameter.

Abstract
Background During oxaliplatin chemotherapy administration via a peripheral vein, vascular pain requires changing of the intravenous infusion route on occasion. Vascular pain induced by anticancer drugs reduces the rate of patient continuation and completion of chemotherapy. Pain is presently appraised using subjective methods, such as the visual analog scale (VAS). However, because pain evaluation can vary depending on the physical state and mood of the patient at the time of assessment, it is desirable to evaluate pain objectively. PainVision PS-2100 (PV) is a medical device that was designed to objectively and quantitatively assess patient nociception and perception. Methods The present study examined the correlation of subjective and objective assessment of oxaliplatin-induced vascular pain using VAS and PV, respectively. Results Vascular pain was assessed using both PV and VAS a total of 173 times for 58 colorectal cancer patients. Partial correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between PV and VAS. The mean PV and VAS scores were 44.5 (range: 0–596) and 24.8 (range: 0–100), respectively. The partial correlation coefficient was 0.408 (p < 0.0001). Conclusions A strong correlation was not observed between the results, and a weak correlation was observed between VAS and PV scores. Objective evaluation of oxaliplatin-induced vascular pain will be required to help patients overcome vascular pain.
