IMPORTANCE: Individuals whose chronic pain is managed with opioids are at high risk of developing an opioid use disorder. Electronic health records (EHR) allow large-scale studies to identify a continuum of problematic opioid use, including opioid us...
Given the lack of scientific evidence, chronic pain represents an arduous challenge, especially in the pediatric field. In this complex scenario, artificial intelligence (AI) could support diagnosis, therapy, and research. However, the great potentia...
BACKGROUND: Exercise therapy is strongly recommended as a treatment for chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP). However, therapist-guided exercise therapy requires significant medical resources. Ordinary digital telerehabilitation affects efficac...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Chronic pain significantly impacts quality of life for millions globally, with spinal cord stimulation (SCS) as an established treatment for refractory chronic pain. However, traditional SCS therapies face limitations including inc...
Pain is a complex, multidimensional experience involving significant challenges in both diagnosis and management. While acute pain serves as a critical warning mechanism, chronic pain encompasses intricate biological, psychological, and social compon...
