    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Chronic pain; musculoskeletal disorders; appraisals; coping; cognitive avoidance; identity; cognitive bias; psychological defences; acceptance; sick absenteeism.; Psychology; Psykologi; psykologi; Psychology;

    Abstract : As the number one cause of sick absenteeism and disability pension, musculoskeletal pain is considered a major health problem in Sweden and many other industrialized countries. Medical findings are often insufficient to explain the pain’s intensity or duration, and psychological factors are known to be important in understanding the aetiology and maintenance of pain.

  4. 12. Self-management of Persistent Neck Pain : A Multi-component Group Intervention in Primary Health Care

    Author : Catharina Gustavsson; Eva Denison; Lena von Koch; Per Lindberg; Christina Opava; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; coping; neck pain; physiotherapy; predictors; randomized controlled trial; self-assessment questionnaire; self-management; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Physiotherapy; Sjukgymnastik fysioterapi; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate effects of a multi-component pain and stress self-management group intervention (PASS) and to explore plausible predictors associated with short-term and long-term treatment effects among patients with persistent tension-type neck pain in primary health care (PHC). Study I was a pilot study in order to explore feasibility of the study design and methods. READ MORE

  5. 13. Pelvic Girdle Pain and Lumbar Pain in relation to pregnancy

    Author : Annelie Gutke; Birgitta Öberg; Hans Christian Östgaard; Karin Harms-Ringdahl; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pelvic girdle pain; lumbar pain; pregnancy; health; functioning; postpartum depressive symptoms; low back pain; muscle function; gait; pregnancy-related; low back pain; course; predictors; recovery; persistent; muscle endurance; Physiotherapy; Sjukgymnastik fysioterapi;

    Abstract : The prevalence of low back pain (LBP) is higher in pregnant women compared to women of the same age in a general population. Pregnancy-related LBP persists 6 years after pregnancy in 16% of women. Consequently, pregnancy represents a specific risk for LBP and persistent LBP. READ MORE

  6. 14. Pathways linking sleep, neuroimmune signaling and pain: an integrative approach

    Author : Martin Flores Bjurström; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pain; neuroinflammation; inflammation; glia; central sensitization; cerebrospinal fluid; osteoarthritis; chronic postsurgical pain; groin hernia repair; sleep; sleep disturbance; perioperative; neurophysiology;

    Abstract : Background and objectives: Neuroinflammation is implicated in the development and maintenance of persistent pain states, but there is limited data linking cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) inflammatory mediators with neurophysiological pain processes in humans. Study I aimed to investigate whether there are coherent changes in CSF inflammation associated with central sensitization (CS), and to evaluate potential differences in CSF levels of inflammatory mediators between osteoarthritis (OA) patients with disabling pain and pain-free controls.

  7. 15. Interactions with pain-related systems - Towards new electrical treatments for chronic pain

    Author : Matilde Forni; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; High definition brain stimulation; Periaqueductal gray matter; Pain systems; Pain models;

    Abstract : Background. Persistent intolerable pain is still an unsolved issue with a huge socioeconomic impact. To develop appropriate treatments, it is crucial to understand the complex mechanisms underlying pain and how they change during sustained pain stimuli or during pathological conditions. READ MORE
