Chronic pain is prevalent in adults with cerebral palsy. We aimed to explore associations between chronic pain and somatosensory, motor, cognitive, etiologic, and environmental factors in adults with cerebral palsy. This cross-sectional study enrolled 17 adult participants with cerebral palsy (mean age 31 years; 8 female; Gross Motor Functional Classification Status levels I-V) able to self-report and 10 neurotypical adult volunteers (mean age 34 years; 9 female). Participants reported pain characteristics, demographics, and affective factors. Physical examination included somatosensory and motor evaluation. Between-group comparisons used a ranksum test, and correlation analyses estimated effect size in terms of shared variance (ρ2). Individuals with cerebral palsy reported greater pain intensity, neuropathic qualities, and nociceptive qualities than control participants. Higher pain intensity was associated with female gender (ρ2 = 16%), anxiety/depression symptoms (ρ2 = 10%), and lower household income (ρ2 = 19%). It was also associated with better communicative ability (ρ2 = 21%), spinothalamic (sharp/temperature) sensory abnormalities (ρ2 = 33%), and a greater degree of prematurity (ρ2 = 17%). This study highlights similarity of chronic pain associations in people with cerebral palsy with patterns seen in other populations with chronic pain. Spinothalamic sensory abnormalities suggest central pain mechanisms.

The Relationship

Background. Central sensitization (CS) and psychological factors are associated with pain intensity; however, the mediating role of CS on the relation between psychological factors and pain intensity remains unclear. Objectives. We performed mediation analysis to investigate how CS mediates relation between psychological factors and pain intensity. Methods. Twenty patients with musculoskeletal pain were included in this cross-sectional study. Central sensitization inventory (CSI), one pain intensity-related outcome measure (Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire 2 (SFMPQ2)), and three psychological outcome measures (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Pain Catastrophizing Scale-4 (PCS), and Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia-11 (TSK)) of all participants were assessed. The mediation analysis with a bootstrap sampling procedure was used to assess the indirect effects. The level of significance was set at 5%. Results. Mediation analysis showed that the HADS-anxiety, HADS-depression, and PCS had significant indirect effects on the pain ratings of CSI. Additionally, the direct effect was significant only for PCS. Conclusions. The relationship among anxiety symptoms, depression symptoms, and pain intensity was completely mediated by CS. Furthermore, the relationship between catastrophic thinking and pain intensity was partially mediated by CS. Our findings suggest that CS mediates relation between psychological factors and pain intensity, and CS-focused intervention may be important.

Calcium Deposits

Background: Calcified tendeinitis is a disease characterized by calcification of multifocal cells mediated byliving tissue. Calcified tendeinitis may occur due to the collection of calcium in the pouch of supraspinatustendon or may spread between rotator cuff muscle fibers and bursa. This deposit may or may not cause pain ofdiscomfort. The study aim is to determine the correlation of calcium deposit size to the pain intensity in patientswith calcified tendinotis.Methods: A cross-sectional study, on subjects, were diagnosed with calcified tendinitis rotator cuff bymusculoskeletal ultrasonography examination.Results: The twenty subjects, aged 50-70 years old, No significant correlations were found between calciumdeposit size with the pain intensity using VAS, r=0.238, p=0.32.Conclusion. The size of the calcium deposit has not correlated with the pain intensity in rotator cuff calcifiedtendinitis patients. But further research is needed whether the location and form of calcium deposits affect thepain intensity in calcified tendinitis rotator cuff patients.Keywords: calcified tendinitis; calcium deposit size; pain intensity.
