Pain modulates early sensory brain responses to task ‐irrelevant emotional faces
ConclusionsOur results suggest that pain alters both featural (P1) and structural face-sensitive (N170) visual encoding of emotional faces, even when the faces are irrelevant to the task. While the effect of pain on initial feature encoding seemed to be disruptive and specific to happy faces, later processing stages showed long-lasting and increased activity for both sad and happy emotional faces.SignificanceThe observed alterations in face perception due to pain may have consequences for real-life interactions, as fast and automatic encoding of facial emotions is important for social interactions.

Pain and Parkinson's disease: current mechanism and management updates
AbstractThe aim of this comprehensive review is to provide an overview of pain in Parkinson's disease (PD) by identifying different clinical features and potential mechanisms, and presenting some data on the evaluation and management of pain in PD. PD is a multifocal degenerative and progressive disease, which could affect the pain process at multiple levels. Pain in PD has a multifactorial etiology, with a dynamic process based on pain intensity, complexity of symptoms, pain pathophysiology, and presence of comorbidities. In fact, pain in PD responds to the concept of multimorphic pain, which can evolve, in relation to th...

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 suggest 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.

Pain paths among post ‐COVID‐19 condition subjects: a prospective cross‐sectional study with in‐person evaluation
ConclusionsPost-COVID pain phenomena follow different paths, which are associated with specific clinical and epidemiological features, and possibly distinct underlying mechanisms, prognostic, and therapeutic implications. (Source: European Journal of Pain)

Adaptive coding of pain prediction error in the anterior insula
ConclusionsThe study advances our understanding of the neural basis of pain prediction. Alongside existing evidence that the periaqueductal grey codes pain PE and the posterior insula codes pain magnitude, the results highlight a distinct contribution of the left dorsal anterior insula in the processing of pain.

Enhanced pain sensitivity in obese patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome is partially reverted by treatment: An exploratory study
ConclusionIn patients with obesity, this exploratory study showed that the presence of an OSA is associated with a decreased PT, whereas implantation of a CPAP device tends to normalize pain perception. (Source: European Journal of Pain)

Personalized Pain Management: Is it Time for Process ‐Based Therapy for Particular People with Chronic Pain?
ConclusionIt is suggested that development of future treatments for chronic pain ought to incorporate an idiographic, process-based approach, focused on evidence-based mechanisms of change, individually and dynamically addressed, based on contextually sensitive ongoing assessment. Knowledge and practical solutions needed to make process-based therapy for chronic pain happen are discussed. (Source: European Journal of Pain)
