Non ‐responsiveness and susceptibility of opioids side effects related to cancer patients’ clinical characteristics: a post‐hoc analysis
ConclusionsSeveral clinical variables are correlated to opioid response in cancer patients. In particular, the presence of BTP is associated with non‐response. Additionally, patients with polypharmachological therapy are more likely to experience opioid adverse events.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Pain Practice)

The influence of self ‐efficacy, fear‐avoidance belief, and coping styles on quality of life for Chinese patients with chronic non‐specific low back pain: A multi‐site cross‐sectional study
ConclusionsSelf‐efficacy and FAB are both directly and indirectly related to the global QOL, and coping styles are important mediating variables. Self‐efficacy and active coping are protective factors for QOL of CLBP patients, while FAB and passive coping are risk factors. Health education strategies are recommended by medical personnel to enhance CLBP patients’ pain self‐efficacy, decrease pain FAB, and modify pain coping styles, so that their global QOL can be improved.This article is protected by copyright.

Deficient pain modulation in patients with a chronic hemiplegic shoulder pain
ConclusionsThe results suggest that HSP is associated with a lack of pain adaptation, characteristic not only of the painful shoulder but also of the affected side. Although we cannot determine whether lack of pain adaptation precede the HSP or result from it, interventions that enhance descending pain inhibition may improve management and prevent HSP chronification.This article is protected by copyright.
