“…19 Findings show that a higher proportion of patients with SCI have more depressed mood than healthy persons. 10 Therefore, the association between depressed mood and pain suggests that the long-term emotional distress experienced by these individuals is significantly influenced by the presence of pain.…”

“…10 Therefore, the association between depressed mood and pain suggests that the long-term emotional distress experienced by these individuals is significantly influenced by the presence of pain. 19 However, previous studies were performed using a self-reported questionnaire with various scales about mood and/or they did not have a control group with chronic pain. 10,[19][20][21] In the current face-to-face interview study, we showed that a patient who had chronic pain was more likely to have higher levels of depression.…”

esign: A cross-sectional study. Objective: To assess the effects of pain on quality of life (QoL), functional independence and depression in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Setting: An inpatient rehabilitation center. Methods:A total of 140 patients (104 M, 36 F) with SCI who underwent inpatient rehabilitation treatment were examined. A questionnaire including clinical variables was applied. Motor score of Functional Independence Measure was used to assess dailylife activities, the 36-Item Medical Outcomes Short-Form Health (SF-36) for QoL and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) for depression. Patients were then divided into those having chronic pain (Group I) and those without any pain (Group II), and groups were compared according to demographic and clinical variables. Results: The most common causes of SCI were falls (35.0%) and motor vehicle accidents (34.2%). Chronic pain was present in 78% of patients. Patients employed before injury and patients who had complete injury had lower Numerical Rating Scale scores (Po0.05). SCI patients with chronic pain had higher depression ratings and their BDI scores were correlated with some of the SF-36 domains (general health, vitality, social functioning and mental health). Only bodily pain and social functioning (Po0.05) scores were found to be lower in Group I (Po0.05) when compared with Group II. Conclusion: As mood and QoL are negatively affected with pain in SCI patients, we suggest that chronic pain should always be treated in a multidisciplinary setting where pharmacological, physical and psychological therapies are combined.

“…The differences between the findings may be explained by cultural differences or differences in study population characteristics. The negative impact of pain on life satisfaction has not only been observed in comparisons between patients with CMP and the general population, but also for patients with pain due to stroke [3] or due to spinal cord injury [19,27,30]. Since pain seems a strong predictor of life satisfaction, it is important that all studies of predictors of life satisfaction, regardless of the patients' diagnosis, include pain in their models.…”

Life satisfaction in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain and its predictors Boonstra, Anne M.; Reneman, Michiel F.; Stewart, Roy E.; Post, Marcel W.; Preuper, Henrica R. Schiphorst Take-down policy If you believe that this document breaches copyright please contact us providing details, and we will remove access to the work immediately and investigate your claim. Abstract Purpose To determine the life satisfaction of patients with chronic non-malignant musculoskeletal pain (CMP) compared to the general population (GP) and to identify predictors of life satisfaction. Methods Subjects were patients with CMP (n = 1,082) admitted to multidisciplinary rehabilitation and a general population sample (n = 506). Lisat-9 measures satisfaction with life as a whole and eight life domains. Physical, emotional and social functioning and pain intensity were assessed using the SF-36. Ordinal logistic regression was used to analyse differences between patients with CMP and the GP, and predictors of life satisfaction in patients with CMP.

Study design: Scoping review. Objectives: To gain a better understanding of the prevalence, course and association with age of secondary health conditions in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Setting: Seattle, Washington, USA. Methods: We performed searches of electronic databases for studies published from 1986-2011 that provided information regarding the prevalence, course or associations with age and duration of secondary health conditions in individuals with SCI. Results: Ninety-two studies were included. The findings indicate that: (1) individuals with SCI experience a number of secondary health conditions, many of which occur at a higher rate in those with SCI than the normative population; (2) the most common conditions or symptoms are pain, bowel and bladder regulation problems, muscle spasms, fatigue, esophageal symptom and osteoporosis; (3) a number of conditions, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, bone mineral density loss, fatigue and respiratory complications or infections, occur with higher frequency in older individuals or those with longer SCI duration, relative to younger individuals or those with shorter SCI duration; and (4) there is a marked lack of longitudinal research examining the natural course of health conditions in individuals aging with SCI. Conclusions: The findings support the conclusion that individuals with SCI show signs of 'premature aging' in different organ systems. Longitudinal research is needed to understand when problems are most likely to emerge, and to develop and test the efficacy of interventions to prevent these health conditions and their negative impact.

Life satisfaction in individuals with a spinal cord injury and pain

Abstract: Life satisfaction is negatively affected in patients with SCI and pain compared to patients with SCI but without pain. Higher levels of anxiety and depression seem to be predictive for this decreased life satisfaction.
