Factors associated with the Pain Catastrophizing Scale and validation in a sample of the Turkish population

Abstract

The reaction of N-(4-aminophenyl)aza-15-crown-5 (1) with anti -chlorophenylglyoxime (2) produces a novel azacrown ether containing vic-dioxime, N-(4-aminophenyl)aza-15-crown-5-phenylglyoxime (LH 2) . LH 2 reacts with Ni(II), Cu(II), Co(II), Cd(II), and Zn(II) ions to yield the mononuclear transition and nontransition metal complexes [M(LH) 2 ] (M = Ni and Cu), [M(LH)2 (H 2 O) 2 ] (M = Co), and [M(LH)(H 2 O)(Cl)] (M = Cd and Zn). The structural features of LH 2 were studied using several techniques including elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet visible (UV-Vis), mass spectrometry (MS), 1-dimensional (1D) 1 H-NMR and 13 CNMR, distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT) 2-dimensional (2D) heteronuclear single-quantum coherence (HSQC), and heteronuclear multiplebond correlation (HMBC) techniques. The structures of the complexes were confirmed by elemental analyses and with the use of magnetic susceptibility measurements, MS, UV-Vis, FT-IR, 1 H-NMR, and 13 C-NMR techniques. The redox behaviors of the ligand and its complexes were verified with cyclic voltammetry (CV) at a glassy carbon (GC) electrode in 0.1 M tetrabutylammoniumtetrafluoroborate (TBATFB) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).

Translation and validation of Simplified Chinese version of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale in chronic pain patients: Education may matter

“…The simplicity and usefulness of PCS has led to various translations across languages and cultures, for example, German, 5 Catalan, 6 , 7 Turkish, 8 , 9 Malay, 10 Italian, 11 Portuguese, 12 , 13 Sinhala, 14 Korean, 15 English-, Afrikaans- and Xhosa-speaking, 16 French, 17 Spanish, 18 Dutch, 19 and Traditional and Simplified Chinese (SC). 20 , 21 In addition, researchers have developed a Child-version, (PCS-C) 6 , 22 , 23 and a shortened version of the PCS.…”

Effects of pain catastrophizing and anxiety on analgesic use after surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars

“…Pederson index is commonly used to estimate the difficulty of removing the impacted mandibular third molars. Similarly, the Parant scale predicts the difficulty of extraction of the mandibular third molars[30].…”

Understanding the physical and psychological impairments and associated disability characterising individuals with ankle symptoms and osteoarthritis

“…While clinical pain catastrophizing was more common in symptomatic than control participants, only a small percentage of symptomatic individuals in our study (15.3%) presented with clinical pain catastrophizing. There was no difference in pain catastrophizing scores between symptomatic and controls, and the mean pain catastrophizing score for participants with chronic ankle symptoms was lower than that reported for other chronic pain populations 415,416 . It is possible that high pain self-efficacy in participants with chronic ankle problems may have contributed to the lower levels of pain catastrophizing in our study population.…”
