Cross ‐Cultural Adaptation and Psychometric Validation of the Serbian Version of the Central Sensitization Inventory
ConclusionsThe results of the present study indicate strong psychometric properties, including evidence of convergent and discriminant validity, of the CSI‐Serb. These results correspond with those of other translated versions of the CSI that have been psychometrically evaluated and published. Due to the current interest in CS, and its relationship with many chronic pain conditions, it is anticipated that the CSI‐Serb will benefit Serbian‐speaking clinicians in the evaluation of patients with chronic pain conditions.

Cervical Epidural Injection in the Management of Refractory Pain and Stiffness in Spondyloarthropathy: A Case Report Series
Abstract
ObjectivesThe primary objective of this case series was to report the use of cervical epidural steroid injection in the management of neck pain and stiffness secondary to spondyloarthropathy in cases refractory to conservative therapy.
MethodsThis was a case report series on three patients with diagnosis of spondyloarthropathy who presented with severe stiffness and non‐radicular axial neck pain refractory to conservative therapy. All patients received cervical epidural steroid injections with significant improvement of their axial neck pain and stiffness.

Profiling Arthritis Pain with a Decision Tree
ConclusionPhysical and mental function scores, the ability to climb stairs, and overall assessment of feeling were the most discriminative predictors from the 12 identified variables, predicting pain with 86% accuracy for individuals with arthritis. In this era of rapid expansion of big data application, the nature of healthcare research is moving from hypothesis‐driven to data‐driven solutions. The algorithms generated in this study offer new insights on individualized pain prediction, allowing the development of cost‐effective care management programs for those experiencing arthritis pain.
