To explore the clinical relevance and assay sensitivity of using personalized outcomes using data from a randomized clinical trial (RCT) in people with chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). ⋯ These results suggest that personalized pain quality outcomes could minimize floor effects, while providing similar assay sensitivity to non-personalized pain quality outcomes. Personalized outcomes better reflect an individual's unique experience, inherently providing more clinically relevant estimates of treatment effects. Personalized outcomes may be advantageous particularly for clinical trials in populations with high inter-individual variability in pain qualities.

Perceived injustice and pain-related outcomes in children with pain conditions: A systematic review.
Research indicates that perceived injustice significantly influences pain-related outcomes and is associated with delayed recovery in adults. This systematic review examines the relationship between perceived injustice and pain-related outcomes in children with pain conditions. ⋯ The results of this study underscore how perceptions of injustice are associated various pain-related outcomes across different domains of children's lives. The findings highlight the need for screening and treatments targeting injustice appraisals in pediatric populations with pain conditions. The discussion addresses possible determinants and mechanisms of perceived injustice, along with implications for research and clinical practice.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The association between physical intervention use and treatment outcomes in patients participating in an online and psychologically informed pain management program.
The availability of multidisciplinary care for the management of chronic pain is uncommon outside specialist clinics. The present study aims to determine the physical intervention use of patients participating in an online psychological pain management program and whether exposure to physical interventions in these patients alters treatment outcomes compared with patients who do not access physical interventions. ⋯ Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12613000252718 and ACTRN12615001003561).
