“…We did not detect a previous study in this area including patients in a developing country like Brazil. Once more, the neuropsychological techniques adopted, such as the MoCA test 18 , have been validated for the Brazilian population, with a cut off of 26, for patients with more than 12 years of schooling. Low MoCA scores for the control group can be probably explained not only by the schooling level of the patients (most of them had up to 11 years of schooling), but by an inefficient educational brazilian system.…”

Objective To describe and analyze cognitive aspects in patients with chronic pain and a control group without pain. Method A case-control study was conducted on 45 patients with chronic pain and on 45 control subjects. Data including pain diagnosis, comorbidities and medication used, were evaluated. Cognitive tests, such as the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Verbal Fluency Test, Clock Drawing Test and Stroop Test, were applied. Results Patients with chronic pain showed a poorer performance, as shown by the scores of the MoCA test (p < 0.002), Verbal Fluency Test (p < 0.001), Clock Drawing Test (p = 0.022) and Stroop Test (p < 0.000). Chronic pain variable (p = 0.015, linear regression model) was an independent factor for results obtained with the MoCA. Conclusion Patients with chronic pain showed a poorer performance in a brief screening test for cognitive impairment not related to confounding variables, as comorbidities and pain-medication use.

“…The following information was obtained: demographic data, pain diagnosis, clinical characteristics (based on the Brief Pain Questionnaire) [5] and severity (Visual Numeric Scale [VNS]), comorbidities, treatment used including abortive medication for pain, adjuvant medication, and nerve blocks. Quality of life and work absenteeism were measured by simple questions: "Does your pain disturb your work activities?…”

“…The BPI (Daut, Cleeland, & Flanery, 1983) was also used in the present study to assess pain intensity. Brief Pain Inventory, which was translated and validated to Brazilian Portuguese language (Daut et al, 1983;Toledo et al, 2013), uses adequate psychometric characteristics (Cleeland, 2009) and allowed the patients to assess the severity of their pain and the degree to which pain interfered in common dimensions related to organic feelings and functions. Brief Pain Inventory employs numerical scales graded from zero (no pain/ no interference) to 10 (worst imagined pain/complete interference).…”

Aims and objectives To compare the efficacy of Chinese and French ear acupuncture in people with chronic back pain. Background Chronic back pain is a common public health problem worldwide. An intervention for this condition is ear acupuncture. Several approaches are used for ear acupuncture, particularly the Chinese and French guidelines. Methods An open, randomised and controlled clinical trial, followed the recommendations of the CONSORT Checklist. One hundred and eleven people were selected and randomised into three groups: Chinese ear acupuncture, French ear acupuncture and Control. Evaluations were performed before the first intervention session (initial), 1 week after the fifth session (final) and after a fifteen‐day follow‐up period (follow‐up), using the Brief Pain Inventory, Rolland Morris Disability Questionnaire, and a thermal imaging camera. For data analysis, the Generalized Estimating Equation Model was applied, with significance level set at 5%. Results Pain severity was significantly decreased by Chinese ear acupuncture throughout intervention period. Both types of ear acupuncture affected pain interference with daily activities. However, in the comparison between initial and final evaluations, only Chinese ear acupuncture produced statistically significant results. A reduction in physical disability was observed in both ear acupuncture‐treated groups during the intervention period and, although Chinese ear acupuncture failed to induce significant changes in tissular temperature at individual time points, a significant increase in cutaneous temperature was detected after the follow‐up period in the dorsal region of individuals treated with Chinese ear acupuncture. Importantly, at this time point, the mean difference between Chinese and French ear acupuncture revealed a more benefic effect of Chinese procedure on this parameter. Conclusions The individualised treatment based on the Chinese precepts showed, in an overall evaluation, better results for management of chronic back pain in the present study. Relevance to clinical practice Ear acupuncture can be implemented in the nurse's clinical practice to assist the treatment of people with chronic back pain.

Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Validation of the Brazilian Version of the Wisconsin Brief Pain Questionnaire

Abstract: We found the WBPQ-B to be a reliable and valid instrument for pain assessment of Brazilians who have muscular disease. The survey presents similar psychometric properties to the original version.
