Summary: The study aimed to determine the impact of PTSD symptoms on the association between age and pain intensity. The results showed that there was a positive correlation between PTSD symptoms and pain intensity, while age and PTSD symptoms were inversely correlated. In older Veterans, higher PTSD symptoms were associated with increased pain intensity ratings.

Summary: Age may affect postoperative pain intensity after specific surgeries, but further understanding of the complex interplay between age, surgical interventions, and pain intensity is needed. The type of surgery and the percentage of patient-controlled analgesia administration can impact postoperative pain intensity.

Summary: The study revealed a remarkably high prevalence of dysmenorrhea among university students in Lahore, Pakistan. Factors influencing dysmenorrhea included age at menarche, regularity of menstrual cycle, and stress. High levels of stress and early menarche were independent predictors of moderate/severe dysmenorrhea.

Summary: This study analyzed the associations between illness perception, pain intensity, and health-related quality of life in elderly patients with low back pain. Different illness perception profiles were identified, and these profiles differed in terms of pain, quality of life, and choice of management.

Summary: The study aimed to examine the relationship between neighborhood deprivation and pain severity in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and the influence of epigenetic age acceleration (EpAA) on that relationship. The results showed a positive correlation between neighborhood deprivation, EpAA, and pain severity. Epigenetic age acceleration acted as a mediator between neighborhood deprivation and pain severity, suggesting that it may play a role in the well-documented relationship between neighborhood of residence and age-related diseases.

Summary: This study found that advanced brain aging is associated with the severity of aphasia and performance on semantic tasks. It also has an impact on treatment outcomes. These findings highlight the importance of brain age in poststroke recovery and emphasize the role of personalized health factors in therapeutic interventions.

Summary: Chronic pain imposes a significant economic burden, with surgery being a major risk factor for its development. While there are potential predictive factors, interventions to reduce the risk of chronic pain and opioid use after surgery are currently limited.

Summary: This study examined individual differences in the relationship between pain fear, avoidance, and pain severity in pediatric patients with chronic abdominal pain. Age was found to play a significant role in explaining the heterogeneity in these relationships, suggesting the importance of considering child development in the fear-avoidance model. Future research should further explore causal relationships and potential developmental differences using randomized control designs.

Summary: Managing neuropathic pain in the elderly requires a multidimensional approach involving various medical, social, and psychological professionals to improve the quality of life for both patients and their relatives, who often have comorbidities and are at increased risk of drug interactions and recurrent hospitalization.

Summary: Research on pain in the elderly shows conflicting results, with some studies suggesting a modest decrease in pain sensitivity and others finding a reduced pain threshold. Elderly individuals are more prone to hyperalgesia, with pathologic changes in the central nervous system affecting pain processing.

Summary: This study examined the moderating role of mindfulness on the associations between PTSD symptom severity and pain-related disability and intensity among trauma-exposed firefighters. Results showed that mindfulness significantly interacted with PTSD symptom severity to affect pain-related disability, particularly in individuals with low mindfulness. Different aspects of mindfulness also had significant effects on pain-related disability in firefighters.

Summary: A meta-analysis suggests that migraine patients are not more sensitive to experimentally evoked pain than healthy control subjects. However, some migraine symptoms have been linked to quantitative sensory testing (QST) profiles. Previous studies on this association had methodological shortcomings. This study used a large sample of episodic migraine patients and multivariate analysis to address these limitations. The results suggest that there is a selective relationship between QST and pain symptoms, even without differences between chronic pain patients and healthy controls.

Summary: The FRAMM guideline, implemented in Sweden, includes fluoride varnish applications and oral health education for 12- to 15-year-olds. Cost-effectiveness analysis shows that FRAMM is dominant compared to routine care, with lower costs and improved outcomes. Further research on the long-term caries increment after a preventive dental health program is important to verify these results.

Summary: The study found that exercise intervention during oncological treatment does not result in additional costs or savings compared to usual care. There were also no significant differences in resource utilization or costs between high-intensity and low-to-moderate intensity exercise.

Summary: This study examined the long-term cost-effectiveness of high-intensity (HI) and low-to-moderate intensity (LMI) exercise during oncological treatment. The results showed that the costs and effects of both exercise programs were similar. Therefore, decision makers and clinicians can consider implementing both HI and LMI exercise programs and recommend the appropriate intensity based on the patient's condition to improve their health.

Summary: This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of root canal treatment (RCT) compared to tooth extraction in a general dental practice setting. It found that in the short term, tooth extraction was more cost-effective than preserving a tooth with RCT. However, the potential need for future tooth replacement may change the calculation in favor of RCT.
