“…Papaioannou et al evaluated PCS scores in patients who underwent lumbar disc fusion within 3 age groups: 20-40, 40-60, and >60 years old. They did not find any correlation between age and PCS scores (14). The same results, in which there was no correlation between age and PCS or PCS subscale scores, were obtained in the present study, as well.…”

“…Postoperative pain is a troublesome condition for patients, their relatives, doctors, health institutions, and governments. The levels of PCS scores were found to positively correlate with the severity of postoperative pain (1,14). It has been suggested that patients with higher PCS scores were also those who consumed higher amounts of analgesics and whose pain was most likely to become chronic and severe (1,3,29).…”

“…Therefore, psychological assessment of patients suffering from pain would be helpful for long-term management of these patients. Previous studies revealed a positive correlation between increased catastrophizing and female sex, anxiety, and postoperative pain severity (3,9,(14)(15)(16)(17)(18).…”

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).

“…2,3 For that reason, we listed cyclosporine as third-line therapy for patients with concurrent hepatitis C and psoriasis. 4 We noted that there have been several case reports of successful treatment of psoriasis in patients with hepatitis C treated with cyclosporine without significant clinical adverse events. We also cited two studies in which liver biopsy findings after cyclosporine therapy did not worsen in psoriasis patients with concomitant hepatitis C infection.…”

“…High scores have been shown to be associated with more intense pain, depression, anxiety, pain behavior, disability, more analgesic consumption, and more prolonged hospital stays. Groups studied include breast surgery, 3 orthopaedic, 4 and general surgical 5 patients. I have found use of the PCS helpful in clinical practice.…”

Objective. Pain catastrophizing and widespread pain are predictors of pain chronicity/severity. Gaps remain in our understanding of the extent to which each is a stable (trait) or dynamic (state) variable. We undertook this study to assess the stability of each variable from before to after total knee replacement (TKR) and whether changes are explained by pain improvements.Methods. We used data from a prospective study of TKR recipients ages ≥40 years. Questionnaires included body pain diagrams assessing widespread pain, the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain subscale. We divided subjects into widespread pain groups (0 versus 1-2 versus ≥3 pain regions) and into low and high PCS score groups (<16 versus ≥16). We assessed changes in group membership from pre-TKR to 12 months post-TKR, then compared these changes between subjects with most and least WOMAC pain improvement.Results. A total of 176 subjects completed scales at both time points; 64% were female, the mean age was 66 years, and baseline median WOMAC pain score was 40. In all, 71% of subjects in the high PCS score group improved to join the low PCS score group at follow-up. While 73 subjects (41%) changed widespread pain group, they were similarly likely to worsen and to improve. We found a statistically significant positive association of improvement in WOMAC pain score with improvement in PCS score (r = 0.31), but not widespread pain (r = -0.004).Conclusion. The PCS score reflects state-like aspects of catastrophizing that diminish along with pain. In contrast, widespread pain scores worsened and improved equally often, regardless of knee pain relief. The findings urge caution in interpreting PCS score and widespread pain as trait measures in musculoskeletal research.

The Role of Catastrophizing in the Prediction of Postoperative Pain

Abstract: The present study findings suggest that it is possible to preoperatively identify patients at risk for experiencing more severe pain in the postoperative recovery period. In such cases, consideration might be given to utilizing a variety of resources to ameliorate or prevent pain.
