Multicenter Study
Post-operative shift in pain profile following fusion surgery for adult spinal deformity: a cluster analysis.
Adult spinal deformity (ASD) is associated with a combination of back and leg pain of various intensities. The objective of the present study was to investigate the diverse reaction of pain profiles following ASD surgery as well as post-operative patient satisfaction. ⋯ Cluster analysis revealed three clusters of ASD patients, and the cluster with the worst pain back and leg pain had the most advanced disease and showed the lowest satisfaction rate, affected by postoperative back pain.

Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is mainly characterized by pain. The assessment of KOA-related pain frequently focuses on different constructs subject to sources of bias or drawbacks, as the classical Pain at Rest (PAR). Movement-evoked pain (MEP), recently defined as 'pain during walking', emerges as a differential concept, since PAR and MEP are driven by different underlying mechanisms. Given the novelty of the MEP approach, its association with PAR or with different performance-based tests has not been studied in KOA yet. ⋯ This research elucidates the relevance of MEP, recently defined as 'pain during walking', through the analysis of its association with PAR and with functional performance (measured through four mobility tests) in knee osteoarthritis. The results from our study highlight the absence of either association or agreement between MEP and PAR, fact that supports and endorses the idea that both concepts measure and refer to different constructs in knee osteoarthritis.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The effect on back pain, anxiety, and comfort levels of an elevated supine position and back support applied to patients undergoing coronary angiography: A randomized controlled experimental study.
To determine the effect of elevated supine position with back support on back pain, anxiety and comfort in patients undergoing coronary angiography. ⋯ The elevated supine position with back support was seen to reduce back pain, increase comfort, and did not change anxiety levels.Clinical Trials No: NCT05546216.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the association between quantitatively assessed trunk extensor strength and gait-induced back pain (GIBP) in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD). ⋯ The results of the present study strongly indicate that trunk extensor strength is a valuable factor associated with GIBP in patients with ASD.
