Effectiveness of vibratory stimulation on needle-related procedural pain in children: a systematic review.
The objective of this systematic review was to identify, evaluate and synthesize evidence of the effectiveness of vibratory stimulation to reduce needle-related procedural pain in children aged 18 years and younger. ⋯ Vibratory stimulation was effective in reducing NRP pain in children; however, blinding was not possible in the trials. Moreover, heterogeneity was high. Therefore, the confidence in the evidence is low. Personal preference should be a priority when using vibratory stimulation in the clinical setting.

Peripheral and Central Sensitization of Pain in Individuals With Hand Osteoarthritis and Associations With Self-Reported Pain Severity.
Pain sensitization, an important osteoarthritis (OA) pain mechanism, has not been substantially investigated in patients with hand OA. It is unknown how peripheral and central sensitization are related to self-reported hand pain. ⋯ Central sensitization was common in patients with hand OA. Lower local and widespread PPTs and the presence of TS were associated with higher hand pain intensity, even after adjustment for demographics, psychosocial factors, and radiographic severity. Sensitization may therefore represent a possible treatment target.

Comparative Study
A head-to-head comparison of five-level (EQ-5D-5L-Y) and three-level EQ-5D-Y questionnaires in paediatric patients.
The aim of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of a youth version of the EQ-5D five-level questionnaire (5LY) and its three-level version (3LY) in a sample of Chinese paediatric patients. ⋯ Through this head-to-head comparison, the 5LY had significant improvements in ceiling effects in two dimensions when compared to 3LY but other measurement properties of 3LY and 5LY performed similar in the idiopathic scoliosis patient group.

Reliability, validity and generalizability of multidimensional pain assessment tools used in postoperative adult patients: a systematic review protocol.
The objective of this review is to evaluate the measurement properties of multidimensional pain assessment tools for postoperative pain in adults. ⋯ MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO and Cochrane Trials (CENTRAL) will be searched, as well as ClinicalTrials.gov and multiple gray literature sources. There will be no limitations on publication date. Titles and abstracts will be screened by independent reviewers for inclusion. The full text of selected papers will be retrieved and assessed against the inclusion criteria. Two independent reviewers will assess papers for methodological quality using the COSMIN checklist, and papers with poor scores on relevant items will be excluded. Data will be extracted by two independent reviewers using a standardized data extraction tool. Statistical pooling will be performed, if possible.

The Multidimensional Pain Readiness to Change Questionnaire 2 (MPRCQ2) is a reliable and valid measure that assesses readiness to adopt a variety of discrete pain self-management responses. We sought to translate and evaluate psychometric properties of the Japanese version of the MPRCQ2 (MPRCQ2-J) in individuals with chronic pain. ⋯ The findings support the internal consistency (except for the total score) and construct validity for MPRCQ2-J scales. However, potential limitations with respect to test-retest reliability of some of the scales were also suggested. The MPRCQ2-J can be used to examine the role that specific readiness domains of pain self-management responses may play in an adjustment process in Japanese individuals with chronic pain.
