“…These individuals frequently rely solely on the advice of primary care providers, limiting the generation of related data in official health statistics. Therefore, in comparison with research based on health care records, population-based surveys may present more realistic data on the prevalence of pain [9]. In addition, 80% of Internet users perceive Web health-related information as credible [10].…”

We aimed to rank the most common locations of pain among Google users globally and locally and analyze secular and seasonal trends in pain-related searches in the years 2004–2019. We used data generated by Google Trends (GT) to identify and analyze global interest in topics (n = 24) related to locations of pain and how these progressed over time. We analyzed secular trends and time series decomposition to identify seasonal variations. We also calculated the interest in all topics with reference to the relative search volume (RSV) of “Abdominal pain”. Google users were most commonly interested in “Headache” (1.30 [times more frequently than “Abdominal pain”]), “Abdominal pain” (1.00), and “Back pain” (0.84). “Headache” was the most frequent search term in n = 41 countries, while “Abdominal pain” was the most frequent term in n = 27 countries. The interest in all pain-related topics except “Dyspareunia” increased over time. The sharpest increase was observed for “Abdominal pain” (5.67 RSV/year), and “Toothache” (5.52 RSV/year). Most of the topics revealed seasonal variations. Among pain-related topics, “Headache,” “Abdominal pain,” and “Back pain” interested most Google users. GT is a novel tool that allows retrospective investigation of complaints among Internet users.

“…Globally, pain and painrelated diseases are associated with years of life with disability and disease burden (16)(17)(18). According to Dorner (19), chronic pain is determined by biological, psychological, and social aspects and is linked with mental disorders, sleep disturbances, and demographic and socioeconomic factors. Pain has a higher prevalence in women (13,14,20,21), in people with lower socioeconomic status (13), and in older ages (21)(22)(23)(24).…”

Background: Spousal care is the most important source of informal care in old age. Nevertheless, despite the growing importance of this issue, the association between providing spousal care inside the household and pain remains unexplored in Europe.Objective and Methods: This study aims to estimate the prevalence of pain reported by spouse caregivers aged 65 plus that provide care inside the household and to investigate the association between providing spousal care and pain. Data from 17 European countries that participated in wave 6 of the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) is used. The analyses are based on 26,301 respondents aged 65 years and older who provide informal care inside the household to their spouse/partner exclusively (N = 1,895) or do not provide any informal care (inside or outside the household) (24,406). Descriptive statistics and multilevel logistic regressions (individual-level as level 1, and country as level 2) were performed.Results: Overall, spouse caregivers report pain more often (63.4%) than their non-caregiver‘s counterparts (50.3%). Important differences in the prevalence of pain among spouse caregivers were found between countries, with Portugal (80.3%), Spain (74.6%), France (73%), Italy (72.4%), and Slovenia (72.1) showing the highest prevalence of pain, and Denmark (36%), Switzerland (41.5) and Sweden (42.3%), the lowest. Results from multilevel logistic regressions show that European individuals aged 65+ who provide spousal care have an increased likelihood of reporting pain (OR 1.30; CI = 1.13–1.48).Conclusion: Our results suggest that in Europe, spouse caregivers aged 65+ are at greater risk of experiencing pain. Therefore, European policymakers should consider spouse caregivers as a health priority group, and take measures to ensure they receive comprehensive health and socio-economic support.

Introducción: los receptores transitorios sensibles a vanilloides-1 (TRPV-1), pertenecientes a la familia de receptores de potencial transitorio, desempeñan un papel importante en la excitación de neuronas nociceptiva y la consecuente generación de dolor lo que resulta una alternativa innovadora en el manejo multimodal del dolor neuropático. Objetivo: el objetivo de esta revisión fue conocer el manejo del dolor mediado por receptores TRPV-1. Resultados: existen ligandos endógenos como mediadores inflamatorios y exógenos como la capsaicina, que tienen por función modular la actividad de los receptores TRPV-1 a través de vías de señalización intracelular en neuronas sensitivas periféricas, ganglio dorsal e incluso a nivel central, llevando al efecto nociceptivo agudo y a un estado de neuroplasticidad en el tiempo. Conclusión: inhibir la actividad de TRPV1 resulta una alternativa en el manejo del dolor neuropático. Siendo interesante e innovador en la población en la cual, otras vías de inhibición del dolor, no serían posible por factores individuales.
