Abstract In Brazil, studies investigating the personality characteristics of chronic pain patients are scarce. The present study aimed to evaluate the personality characteristics of patients with chronic pain and to compare them with those of patients without this condition. To this end, the Personality Disorders Dimensional Inventory and the Hypochondriasis scale of the Brazilian version of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory were administered. Two different statistical analyses were carried out: the t - test to determine the differences between the scores for the two groups and the logistic regression analysis to examine the predictive power of the scales for the diagnosis of chronic pain. The results revealed significant differences (p < 0.05) among the Histrionic, Hypochondriasis, and Sadistic scales as predictors for the groups studied, with larger effect sizes on the Histrionic and Hypochondriasis scales. The authors suggest that the use of these scales in a clinical context may provide important information for health professionals.

The factor structure and psychometric properties of the Health Concerns Questionnaire were evaluated in a sample of 133 elderly chronic pain outpatients. Reliability and validity data are presented for the HCQ total scores, 3 varimax rotated factors, and 3 content scales that distinguish endorsement of medically versus psychologically oriented items.

Opioids occupy a position of unsurpassed clinical utility in the treatment of many types of painful conditions. In recent years there has been a noticeable shift regarding the use of opioids for the treatment of both benign and malignancy-related pain. As acceptance of the prescribing of opioids for chronically painful conditions has grown, many more opioid-tolerant patients are presenting for surgical procedures. It is therefore imperative that practicing anesthesiologists become familiar with currently available opioid formulations, including data regarding drug interactions and side effects, in order to better plan for patients’ perioperative anesthetic needs and management. Unfortunately, there is a lack of scientifically rigorous studies in this important area, and most information must be derived from anecdotal reports and the personal experience of anesthesiologists working in this field. In this review, we shall discuss current chronic pain management and the impact of opioid use and tolerance on perioperative anesthetic management.
