“…A biopsychosocial model of chronic pain has been widely adopted, and epidemiologic studies suggested that chronic pain increases the risk for depression, anxiety, and pain catastrophizing [ 20 , 21 ]. The coexistence of chronic pain and emotional disorders initiates vicious pain, which spirals and amplifies depression and pain catastrophizing and then disturbs daily activities and consequently further exacerbates pain [ 32 – 34 ]. Depression is a leading cause of disability globally.…”

Introduction. “U” route transforaminal percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) was introduced for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) combined with disc herniation (DH) treatment. This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of “U” route PELD on chronic pain patients with LSS combined with DH. Methods. Degenerative LSS combined with DH patients who underwent “U” route PELD were reexamined, and 80 patients were recruited and followed up for 2 years. The other 80 healthy individuals who were age- and sex-matched to the patients without chronic pain were enrolled as healthy controls. Minimum dura sac cross-sectional area (mDCSA) by MRI, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and modified MacNab outcomes were assessed. Emotional evaluation of pain catastrophizing and depression was documented with Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), respectively, for patients before and after surgery and healthy individuals. Results . All patients were of the age range from 47 to 85 years, with an average of 59.5 ± 9.76 years. Symptoms duration was 114.6 ± 22.77 months, operation time was 87.7 ± 25.20 minutes, and the average hospital stay was 5.8 ± 2.81 days. Four patients quit, and hence, a total of 76 patients completed the follow-up. The results indicated that mDCSA was improved significantly after operation ( p < 0.001 ), either low back and leg VAS or ODI decreased over time ( p < 0.001 ), and the excellent-to-good rate was improved from 88.75% to 93.42% during postoperative 2 years ( p < 0.05 ). Complications of dural tear, nerve root, or dysesthesia were reported in 5 patients, and all recovered after conservative therapy. The scores of pain catastrophizing were reduced after operation ( p < 0.001 ), but no significance of BDI was found between patients and healthy controls ( p > 0.05 ). Conclusions. The “U” route PELD seems an alternative to LSS combined with DH treatment, which might reach a better decompression and effectively improve chronic pain conditions. Still, the complications were potential and required further consideration.

“…After obtaining research ethics approval and informed consent, a descriptive, cross-sectional, survey study investigated chronic pain and disability among 170 Black adults with SCD. They were recruited from a sickle cell center between March 2018 and July 2019 (Matthie et al, 2020). Participant inclusion criteria were 18–40 years of age, diagnosis of SCD, three or more days of pain experienced each week, and ability to read, write, and understand English.…”

“Into the Lion’s Den”: COVID-19 Experiences of Black Adults with Sickle Cell Disease

2022

Adults living with sickle cell disease are at risk for experiencing severe illness from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) due to the complexity of their disease. Additionally, self-management and navigating the healthcare system may be challenging during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, we conducted telephone interviews with 25 participants to explore the experiences of Black adults living with sickle cell disease during the early months of the pandemic in the United States. Three overarching themes characterize their experiences: management of sickle cell disease was further complicated by the pandemic, fear of the virus contributed to physical and social isolation, and employment and financial challenges affected well-being. The pandemic contributed to changes in health care maintenance and had a disproportionate impact on this population. Addressing social and structural determinants of health and disruptions in health care accessibility is critical to advancing health and health care equity for individuals living with sickle cell disease.

“…We will examine heterogeneity both in the subject matter of included studies (context, intervention and outcomes) and in the reported effect sizes (visually and using I 2 ) (Matthie et al, 2020 ). If meta‐analysis is appropriate, we will calculate an inverse variance weighted average effect size using a random effects model.…”

The objectives of this review are to: (1) examine the effectiveness of interventions for improving social inclusion outcomes for people with disabilities (physical, visual, hearing, intellectual or mental health conditions) in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs); and (2) to critically appraise the confidence in study finding of the included studies. Key questions include: (1) Are interventions to improve social inclusion outcomes for people with disabilities in LMICs effective, and what is the quality of evidence base? (2) What types of intervention, or intervention design features, are most effective in improving social inclusion outcomes for people with disabilities in LMICs? (3) Which interventions appear most effective for different categories of disability? (4) What are the barriers to people with disabilities participating in interventions to improve their social inclusion outcomes? And what factors facilitate participation in, and the success of, such interventions?
