Virtual Reality increases pressure pain threshold and lowers anxiety in children compared to control and non ‐ immersive control – a randomized, crossover trial
ConclusionsVR had a marked beneficial effect on PPT and anxiety compared with the control interventions: 2D video and small-talk. Thus, immersive VR had a distinct modulatory effect on pain and anxiety in a well-controlled experimental setting. Immersive VR was effective and feasible in children and can act as a valid tool for non-pharmacological pain and anxiety management. (Source: European Journal of Pain)

Task ‐based measures of sensitivity to physical activity predict daily‐life pain and mood among people living with back pain
ConclusionsTask-based assessment of SPA helps explain daily-life pain and mood among adults with back pain, beyond traditional questionnaires. Adding task-based assessment of SPA may achieve a more complete picture of pain and mood in daily life, offering clinicians better guidance when prescribing activity-based interventions that are designed to modify daily life behaviour, such as graded activity.

Clinical signs in the jaw and neck region following whiplash trauma —A 2‐year follow‐up
ConclusionIndividuals with a whiplash trauma present a higher risk for pain on palpation in jaw and neck muscles both in a short- and long-term perspective, but show normal jaw movements. No time effect suggests that cases do not spontaneously improve nor get worse. Investigating pain on palpation in the jaw and neck muscles after whiplash trauma can identify individuals at risk for developing long-term orofacial pain and dysfunction.SignificanceOrofacial pain is often reported after whiplash trauma but most previous studies concerning orofacial pain in whiplash populations have been questionnaire studies. Cases with a pre...

Precision management of post ‐COVID pain: An evidence and clinical‐based approach
ConclusionsAccordingly, considering these factors, management of post-COVID pain should include multimodal pharmacological and non-pharmacological modalities targeting emotional/cognitive aspects (i.e. psychological and/or coping strategies), central sensitization-associated mechanisms (i.e. pain neuroscience education), exercise programmes as well as lifestyle interventions (e.g. nutritional support and sleep management).SignificanceThis position paper presents an evidence-based clinical reasoning approach for precision management of post-COVID pain.

The Effect of High Versus Low Cognitive Load on the Development of Nociceptive Hypersensitivity: The Roles of Sympathetic Arousal, Sex, and Pain ‐Related Fear
ConclusionsThese results do not confirm that high cognitive load or sex modulate hypersensitivity, but show associations with pain-related fear and non-pain-related sympathetic arousal. (Source: European Journal of Pain)
