“… 14 , 22 Additionally, it has been reported that income influences pain perception, anxiety, and quality of life in people with varying socioeconomic levels due to differences in healthcare resources and environmental stresses. 28 However, in our study, orthodontic patients with a family income of <5000 SAR have shown a significantly lower oral health impact than the other income categories indicating socioeconomic disparities related to orthodontic treatment and associated quality of life. Hence family income can act as one of the confounding factors in this study.…”

Purpose:The objective of this study is to compare the orthodontic patient's experiences with removable and fixed orthodontic appliances on daily activities, food consumption, and oral symptoms in Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia. Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study carried out among orthodontic patients. A total of 150 adult patients, including 118 in the fixed orthodontic appliance group and 32 in the removable (Invisalign) orthodontic group, who met the inclusion criteria completed a validated and self-administered questionnaire. In addition, the study participants reported their experience in terms of daily routine, food consumption, and oral symptoms one week after appliance activation. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and Fisher's exact tests for the categorical variables. In addition, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, and Spearman's tests were also applied to the data. Results:The fixed orthodontic patients compared to the removable orthodontic cases showed significantly higher difficulty in sleeping (1.28±1.10 vs 0.94±0.88, p=0.024), sores on the tongue (0.97±1.00 vs 0.56±0.76, p=0.042) and cheeks (1.20±1.11 vs 0.72±0.81, p=0.027), and the presence of food debris under the appliance (1.53±1.16 vs.1.00±0.95, p=0.021). Moreover, the oral health impact score showed a significant positive correlation with the duration of the orthodontic treatment (r=0.339, p<0.001) and pain intensity (r=0.309, p<0.001). Conclusion:The fixed orthodontic treatment compared to removable orthodontic treatment resulted in more severe pain, sleeping difficulty, sores on the tongue and cheeks, and food impaction after one week of appliance activation.

“…Another fact observed is that, in general, participants had less than 10 years of education. According to authors (24) , low schooling may influence the perception of pain in cancer patients, since many believe that pain is part of the illness process, and thus take too long to seek help, which can make the symptom worse.…”

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a efetividade da acupuntura auricular na dor de pacientes oncológicos em tratamento quimioterápico e possíveis alterações no consumo de analgésicos após a aplicação da intervenção. Método: Ensaio clínico randomizado com portadores de câncer que apresentavam queixa de dor maior ou igual a quatro na Escala Numérica da Dor. Foram criados dois grupos paralelos, um Experimental, o qual recebeu a aplicação da acupuntura auricular em pontos do equilíbrio energético e em pontos indicados para o tratamento da dor, e um Placebo, em que foram aplicados pontos placebos fixos. Ambos os grupos receberam a aplicação de agulhas semipermanentes em oito sessões. Resultados: Participaram 31 portadores de câncer. Depois das oito sessões de acupuntura auricular, houve diferença significativa entre os grupos na redução da intensidade da dor (p < 0,001) e no consumo das medicações (p < 0,05). Conclusão: A acupuntura auricular foi efetiva na redução da dor de pacientes em tratamento quimioterápico. Registro Brasileiro de Ensaios Clínicos: RBR-6k3rqh.

IntroductionChronic cancer-related pain is one of the most common excruciating symptom that can be caused by the cancer (by the primary tumour or by metastases) or by its treatment (surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy). Although multiple clinical trials and systematic reviews have suggested that acupuncture could be effective in treating chronic cancer-related pain, the comparative efficacy and safety of these acupuncture methods remains unclear. We, therefore, performed this study to evaluate and rank the efficacy and safety of different acupuncture methods for chronic cancer-related pain.Methods and analysisSeven databases will be searched, including Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, Embase, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, the Chongqing VIP Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM) from their inception to March 2020. The primary outcome is the change of pain intensity. Bayesian network meta-analysis will be conducted using software R3.5.1. Finally, we will use the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation System (GRADE) to assess the quality of evidence.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval is not required for literature-based studies. The results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publication.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42020165747
