The analysis of the main outcomes in this study did not demonstrate a significant advantage of anodal tDCS applied to M1 in patients with human T-lymphotropic virus type I and chronic pain in comparison with sham tDCS, although secondary analysis suggests some superiority of active tDCS over sham. The large placebo effect observed in this study may explain the small differences between sham versus active tDCS.

“…It is estimated that more than 100 million Americans have chronic pain [3], and prevalence in other countries varies from about 10-50 % of the general population [4]. Not only is chronic pain a prevalent health issue but it also significantly impacts quality of life [5][6][7][8] and the costs of care, and lost productivity are estimated to total almost $635 billion each year [3].Pain guidelines have recommended selfmanagement strategies in the treatment of chronic pain [9,10]. Self management differs from other treatments such as surgery and medication in that it emphasizes the patient's own control over his/her pain experience rather than relying on external factors to treat pain symptoms.…”

Practice guidelines and empirical research related to pain management encourage clinicians to take active roles in providing education about self management and promoting adoption of a self-management approach. The purpose of the study was to review the relevant literature, summarize aspects of the patientprovider interaction that influence patient engagement in self management for chronic pain, and outline practice recommendations in this area. Review of the literature on aspects of the patient-provider interaction that promote engagement in pain self-management was used. Findings are synthesized into recommendations for providers. Patients benefit from a biopsychosocial and patient-centered approach. Patients are more likely to fully disclose when providers respond empathically, which can improve conceptualization and treatment. Patient education and motivation play important roles in engaging patients in self management. Self management is influenced in part by the patient-provider communication process. Suggestions for communication strategies to facilitate patient engagement in self-management techniques, including empathic discussion of barriers and motivation enhancement, are provided. KEYWORDSChronic pain, Self management, Doctor-patient communication, Patient-centered care, Adherence Pain is one of the most common presenting problems in medical settings [1], and the majority of pain treatment tends to be carried out in the primary care context [2]. Pain that persists beyond 3 months and that does not remit with typical treatments for acute pain, such as rest, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and heat or ice, is considered chronic pain. It is estimated that more than 100 million Americans have chronic pain [3], and prevalence in other countries varies from about 10-50 % of the general population [4]. Not only is chronic pain a prevalent health issue but it also significantly impacts quality of life [5][6][7][8] and the costs of care, and lost productivity are estimated to total almost $635 billion each year [3].Pain guidelines have recommended selfmanagement strategies in the treatment of chronic pain [9,10]. Self management differs from other treatments such as surgery and medication in that it emphasizes the patient's own control over his/her pain experience rather than relying on external factors to treat pain symptoms. At its most rudimentary level, self management consists of basic methods such as distraction, physical activity, and ice or heat to manage pain. Many patients use these practices on their own or are able to easily implement them after receiving reassurance and encouragement from their providers. Other patients may benefit from additional self-management techniques, such as those emphasized in cognitivebehavioral treatment for chronic pain, that aim to modify the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to the maintenance and exacerbation of pain. Such self-management skills include time-based pacing, relaxation, stress management, and identifying and modifying catastrophic ...

Background: It seems that using Pilates exercises can increase quality of life of patients on hemodialysis. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of Pilates exercises on the quality of life of patients on hemodialysis. Methods: For this randomized controlled clinical trial, we enrolled 60 hemodialysis patients referred to Shahid Beheshti and Akhavan hospitals in Kashan city during 2014 and 2015. The subjects were randomly allocated to an experimental group (n = 30) and a control group (n = 30). Demographic information and quality of life short form (KDQOL SF) questionnaires were completed by the two groups at the beginning of the study. Then, modified Pilates exercises were carried out by the experimental group three times a week over a period of eight weeks. The KDQOL SF questionnaire was completed by all participants, at the beginning and two
