“…Pain interference is apt to increase psychological distress, allostatic load, and reduce personal control (Askew et al, 2016; Karayannis et al, 2017), thus fostering a bias toward pain-related threats across physical, mental, and affective domains, and depleting self-regulation resources (Aaron et al, 2022). In the context of dual users, greater pain interference may relate to learning that using combustible or e-cigarettes can regulate such internal perturbation (Brockenberry et al, 2022) and, by extension, heightened awareness of the stress related to nicotine abstinence (e.g., greater emotional distress, negative thinking patterns).…”

“…Indeed, from a theoretical perspective, pain-related functional impairment may increase experiential distress, allostatic load, and delimit personal control (Askew et al, 2016;Karayannis et al, 2017). These deleterious effects may also deplete self-regulation resources needed for other high-demand behaviors, including quitting use of nicotine/ tobacco products (e.g., quitting; Aaron et al, 2022).…”

Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use has become increasingly common among combustible cigarette users, and dual use may represent a more severe type of nicotine addiction. Experiencing pain is one prevalent domain that may be important to understand quit processes and behavior among dual users. Although most past research on pain and nicotine/tobacco has focused on combustible cigarette use, initial work on e-cigarette users has found that greater pain severity is associated with higher levels of dependence and negative thinking patterns about e-cigarette use. Yet, there has been no effort to explore the experience of pain among dual users in terms of perceived barriers for quitting combustibles or e-cigarettes. The present study sought to examine pain interference among dual combustible and e-cigarette users in terms of perceived barriers for quitting among 138 (45.9% female; Mage = 35.96 years, SD = 7.16) adult dual users (i.e., users of both combustible cigarette and e-cigarettes). Hierarchical linear regression models indicated that pain interference was significantly associated with both perceived barriers for cessation of combustible cigarettes and perceived barriers for cessation of e-cigarettes. Overall, the present investigation served as an initial evaluation of the role of pain interference in terms of perceived barriers for quitting combustible and e-cigarettes among adult daily dual users.

“…These techniques are also prognostic indicators, particularly for individuals who develop chronic pain. Treatments that target these techniques have consistently demonstrated success in moderatly reducing pain-related morbidity ( 42 – 44 ). Within clinical practice guidelines for chronic or musculoskeletal pain, psychosocial components often include targeting pain-coping or similar responses (e.g., catastrophizing), alongside screening for mental disorders ( 45 , 46 ).…”

IntroductionChronic pain and associated interference with daily activities are common in the military and impact Force readiness. Chronic pain affects one-third of service members and is a leading cause of medical non-readiness (MNR) in the military. Research suggests that underlying psychological mechanisms related to trait coping styles and pain interference (PI) affect functional outcomes, but little research exists examining this relationship within an Army population. The purpose of this study was to examine the combined effects of PI and coping on U.S. Army soldier readiness by using annual well-being data from the Global Assessment Tool (GAT) and medical non-readiness (MNR) based on duty restriction records.MethodsThe sample comprised 866,379 soldiers who completed the GAT between 2014 and 2017 with no duty restrictions at the time of baseline GAT completion; subjects were observed through 2018 for duty restrictions. Parametric survival regression models with a Weibull distribution predicted demographic-adjusted hazards of MNR by dichotomized PI (no PI/PI) and beneficial/non-beneficial use of GAT coping components (good coping, bad coping, catastrophizing-flexibility, and catastrophizing-hopelessness). Incident MNR was evaluated for all duty restrictions, and stratified by selected body systems (upper extremity, lower extremity, psychiatric).ResultsAmong soldiers with PI, hazards were higher in those reporting non-beneficial coping styles (bad coping, hopelessness) and lower in those reporting beneficial coping styles (good coping, flexibility). Across all coping styles, PI/coping interactions were particularly strong for catastrophizing-hopelessness and when examining MNR from psychiatric conditions.DiscussionThese findings suggest some synergistic associations between pain and coping that may impact pain-related occupational disability. Coping skills may be an effective interventional target for chronic pain reduction/prevention within military programs, such as the Master Resilience Training Course offered to soldiers in the Army. Further research should assess whether early coping style interventions can reduce pain-related outcomes.

“…Several studies support the idea that emotion regulation can entail effects on pain intensity as well as resilience, i.e., the ability to engage in behaviors despite pain (Aaron et al, 2020(Aaron et al, , 2022Gentili et al, 2019;Lumley et al, 2011;Vowles et al, 2007). Furthermore, emotion regulation has been found to predict pain modulation (Lapate et al, 2012), and maladaptive response-focused emotion regulation strategies have been found to be associated with chronic pain and pain-related disability (Koechlin et al, 2018).…”

“…He suggested that many patients with chronic pain may instead need interventions encouraging experiencing and expressing emotions, due to excessive emotional avoidance and suppression. This is particularly relevant since difficulties to identify and express emotions has been associated with pain intensity and interference (Aaron et al, 2022). However, I am not certain that the hybrid treatment communicates the idea that emotions need to be controlled.…”
