“…As the literature suggests, the guidelines used in the questionnaire translation process were based on the cross-cultural adaptation of the medical, sociological, psychological, and methodological literature, resulting in a complete adaptation process that conferred a semantic, idiomatic, experiential, and conceptual equivalence between the source country (USA) and target country (Brazil) questionnaires, as well with several other already recognized questionnaires. 10 11 12 14 15 16 17 18 19…”

Objective In the present study, our aim was to translate, adapt, and validate the Pelvic Health History Form (a quality of life [QoL] questionnaire) of the International Pelvic Pain Society (IPPS) from English to Portuguese. Methods The study was approved by the Ethics and Research Committee (CEP, in the Portuguese acronym) and the IPPS. The "Transcultural Adaptation" method comprised 5 stages: translation, synthesis, backtranslation, expert review, and pretest. Cultural adaptation and validation included cognitive interviews and statistical analysis of unanswered items (> 15%) in 14 clinic patients from CPP and endometriosis clinic at Santa Casa de São Paulo. Results Strong equivalences were established between the USA and Brazil questionnaires in terms of semantics, idioms, experiences, and concepts. Eighteen culturally inappropriate items were identified and adjusted using the revised response rate index. The subjective form underwent rigorous assessments, confirming its accurate measurement of intended targets. Conclusion The methodology showed efficiency and equivalence, confirming its validity. The user-friendly format and inclusion of translated, adapted, and validated instruments in Portuguese make the form valuable for evaluating pelvic health, with potential for future research.

Chronic low back pain is a highly prevalent pathology, which has unclear associations with psychosocial aspects. This study investigated differences between patients with chronic low back pain (n = 25) and acute low back pain (n = 20) and verified the effect of the variables assessed on the pain mean. The design was cross-sectional, and the instruments applied were: sociodemographic interviews, Brief Pain Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory II, Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, Personality Factor Battery, Social Support Scale and Pain Catastrophizing Scale. The chronic pain group had significantly higher means of pain intensity, anxiety and catastrophic thoughts. In the regression analysis, the factor Depression of the Personality Factor Battery and belonging to the chronic pain group were found as predictors of the mean pain in the sample studied. It is understood that psychological factors are associated with the pain condition and require further investigation.

“…VAS Analogue Scale assessed the severity of scores in most days of the last three months ranged (VAS, zero to 100mm). The Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) [57] was used to assess the identification of an individual's pain catastrophizing into three dimensions: rumination, magnification, and helplessness. Beck Depression Inventory-II [23] was used to evaluate depressive symptoms, and Central Sensitization Inventory [12] was used to measure symptoms related to central .…”

The impaired cortical function likely plays a critical role in chronic pain maintenance and fibromyalgia symptoms. While the functional connectivity (FC), as assessed by functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), is a promising approach that evaluates cortical activation through hemodynamic response estimation. Thus, this study compared the FC of bilateral motor and prefrontal cortices between responders and nonresponders to the conditioned pain modulation task (CPM-test) induced by hand immersion in cold water (0–1°C). We included 37 women with fibromyalgia according to the American College of Rheumatology diagnoses criteria (n = 23 responders to CPM-task and n = 14 nonresponders). After the adjustment for multiple comparisons, we found that nonresponders relative to responders showed higher FC between the left motor cortex (LMC) with both left prefrontal cortex (LPFC; t=-2.476, p-value=0.01) and right prefrontal cortex (RPFC; t=-2.363, p=0.02). The psychiatric diagnoses was also positively associated with a higher FC on the LMC-LPFC and the LMC-RPFC. These results indicate that the higher connectivity between the left motor and bilateral prefrontal cortex might be a neural marker of DPMS dysfunction and an intermediate in the interplay between fibromyalgia and psychiatric disorders.
