Background: Several psychological interventions have been implemented to manage chronic pain. In this study, in addition to the patients, his/her spouses have participated in the program. Besides, this innovative therapy integrates several practical approaches into one comprehensive protocol. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of couple therapy (patient/caregiver-oriented) on improving the quality of life and reducing pain among patients with chronic pain. Methods: The present study is a quasi-experimental and clinical trial with a control group with pretest and posttest. The authors conducted this study at LABAFINEJAD Hospital in Tehran on 30 patients with chronic pain and their spouses by having a short form of a questionnaire for quality of life and chronic pain score questionnaire to measure the effectiveness of the treatment. Results: The results indicated that this treatment increased two aspects of quality of life remarkably, social function and strength for continuing the performance; that help boosts interpersonal relationships as well. Regarding the results, although the couple-based treatment could improve all aspects of pain, the two primary subscales, physical health and mental health, both enhanced. Besides, the treatment reduced the intensity of pain. Conclusion: Couple-based intervention through increasing social support, improving the quality of sex, decentralizing of pain, and paying attention to the neglected needs of caregivers and patients with chronic pain can improve quality of life and reduce pain in patients.

Inflammatory Bowel

Summary: In 2013, EMA approved the fi rst biosimilar infl iximab CT-P13 for clinical practice in all indications of the original infl iximab. Since 2015, biosimilar infl iximab has been extensively used in patients with Crohn‘s disease and ulcerative colitis also in the Czech Republic. Biosimilar infl iximab is very similar to the original infl iximab in terms of its macromolecular structure, and its clinical eff ects, adverse events and immunogenicity are identical to those of the original infl iximab. Biosimilar biologics which have been introduced in clinical practice signifi cantly reduced therapeutic costs and improved access to an innovative therapy and facilitated a new therapeutic strategy, with pro-active drug monitoring and fl exibility in dosing. Biosimilars are associated with a signifi cant improvement in the therapeutic armamentarium, which makes them one of the important therapeutic milestones in the treatment of infl ammatory bowel disease. Key words: bio similars – bio logic therapy – Crohn’s disease – ulcerative colitis
