Duloxetine is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor prescribed for musculoskeletal and other forms of chronic pain. Its dual pharmacologic properties have the potential to either raise or lower cardiovascular risk: adrenergic activity may increase the risk for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and stroke, but antiplatelet activity may decrease risk. Gabapentin is another nonopioid medication

The Telehealth Tradeoff: A Multimethod Study of the Benefits and Challenges Associated with Maintaining Treatment Outcomes Using a Hybrid Model of Pediatric Intensive Interdisciplinary Pain Treatment Clin. J. Pain (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2023-04-24 Samantha P. Bento, Catherine Stewart, Caitlin Conroy, Allison Smith, Leah Reece, Kelsey Jervis, Yasmin Cole-Lewis, Deirdre Logan, Edin T. Randall
Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic required intensive interdisciplinary pain treatment (IIPT) programs to shift to virtual models of care. This study used a multimethod approach to examine outcomes of a pediatric hybrid IIPT program (50% in-person treatment and 50% synchronous video-based telehealth) and assessed staff experiences while treating within this model. Methods: Patients (M=14.73, SD=2

Adolescents and Young Adults with Sickle Cell Disease: Nociplastic Pain and Pain Catastrophizing as Predictors of Pain Interference and Opioid Consumption. Clin. J. Pain (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2023-04-21 Clare Kuisell, Robert Ploutz-Snyder, David A Williams, Terri Voepel-Lewis, Raymond Hutchinson, Katherine M Dudding, Celia Bridges, Ellen M Lavoie Smith
Some patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) have features of nociplastic pain. While research suggests that many patients with nociplastic pain consume more opioids due to opioid non-responsiveness, little is known about the impact of nociplastic pain and pain catastrophizing on opioid consumption and pain interference among adolescents and young adults (AYA) with SCD. The purpose of this study was

Susceptibility to Nocebo Hyperalgesia, Dispositional Optimism, and Trait Anxiety as Predictors of Nocebo Hyperalgesia Reduction Clin. J. Pain (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2023-04-17 Merve Karacaoglu, Simone Meijer, Kaya J. Peerdeman, Elise Dusseldorp, Karin B. Jensen, Dieuwke S. Veldhuijzen, Henriët van Middendorp, Andrea W.M. Evers
Objectives: The current paper explores the psychological predictors of nocebo hyperalgesia and whether the reduction of nocebo hyperalgesia can be predicted by susceptibility to nocebo hyperalgesia and psychological characteristics. Methods: To this end, nocebo effects on pressure pain were first experimentally induced in 83 healthy female participants through conditioning with open-label instructions
