Home based Tactile Discrimination Training (TDT) reduces phantom limb pain
ConclusionsTDT seems to be an easy, cheap, time‐effective and safe method to achieve sustained alleviation in PLP and also brings about a positive change in body image.
Rehabilitation impactHome‐based TDT could achieve sustained reduction in PLP and should be considered as possible alternative to established treatment methods.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Pain Practice)

A Cost ‐Effectiveness Analysis of Intradiscal Electrothermal Therapy Compared with Circumferential Lumbar Fusion
ConclusionsBoth treatments led to significant improvements in patient outcomes that were sustained for at least 24 months. Costs were lower with IDET, and for appropriate patients IDET is an effective and cost‐effective treatment alternative. (Source: Pain Practice)

Chronic calf pain caused by fibroma ‐induced chronic inflammation around the tibial and peroneal nerves that was misdiagnosed as centralized neuropathic pain: A case report
ConclusionThe findings from this case suggest that ultrasonography should be used as the primary modality for the evaluation of calf pain. Although the features of unresolved calf pain are similar to those of neuropathic pain, more curable etiologies should be considered.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Radiation Dose Exposure for Lumbar Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injections and Facet Joint Blocks under CT versus Fluoroscopic Guidance
ConclusionsThe study results suggest that TFESIs and facet joint blocks performed with CT guidance are associated with more than 8 times higher patient radiation dose exposure compared to fluoroscopic guidance. There needs to be more vigilance with regards to CT‐guidance in interventional pain procedures.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Pain Practice)

Efficacy and tolerance of Lidocaine 5% patches in neuropathic pain and pain related to vaso ‐occlusive sickle‐cell crises in children: a prospective multicenter clinical study
ConclusionAlthough lidocaine 5% patches decreased pain's intensity in nearly half of enrolled patients with an excellent tolerance, the efficacy endpoint was not reached. Further studies should consider a more refined selection of the experimental population to assess lidocaine 5% patches efficacy in the pediatric population.This article is protected by copyright.

Convergent Validity of the Dutch Central Sensitization Inventory: Associations with Psychophysical Pain Measures, Quality of Life, Disability, and Pain Cognitions in Patients with Chronic Spinal Pain
ConclusionThe CSI was weakly associated with PPTs and not with CPM efficacy in CSP patients. Moderate to strong associations were found with current pain intensity, quality of life, disability, and catastrophizing. The current results illustrate that the CSI does not reflect a direct measure of CS, yet is a representation of general distress, possible originating from CS symptoms.This article is protected by copyright.
