Avoidance of pain of unpredictable intensity

Behaviour Research and Therapy, 1991
Unpredictability of the intensity of an aversive event might be an important factor in producing negative effects of the event, especially if the UCS becomes stronger than could have been expected. The present experiment tested the hypothesis that unpredictability of intensity of a painful stimulus contributes to avoidance behaviour. The experiment was

Recommendations for selection of self-report pain intensity measures in children and adolescents: a systematic review and quality assessment of measurement properties

Pain, 2018
In 2006, PAIN published a systematic review of the measurement properties of self-report pain intensity measures in children and adolescents (Stinson JN, Kavanagh T, Yamada J, Gill N, Stevens B.

Evaluating Pain in Intensive Care

2009
Optimal pain management is essential for good care outcomes, but assessing pain is particularly complex in intensive care, as patients are often unable to communicate. We hypothesize that the task could be supported through human language technology. To evaluate the feasibility of such tools, we study how pain is documented in electronic Finnish free ...

Hispanic Inpatient Pain Intensity

Western Journal of Nursing Research, 2014
Hispanic adults experience significant pain, but little is known about their pain during hospitalization. The purpose of this research was to describe Hispanic inpatients’ pain intensity and compare their pain intensity with that of non-Hispanic patients. A post hoc descriptive design was used to examine 1,466 Hispanic inpatients’ medical records (63.2%

Love, Pain, and Intensive Care

Pediatrics, 2008
No activity can give you the joy that service does… . You should yearn for the chance to console, comfort, encourage, heal. See yourself as another, feel his joy to be yours, his sorrow to be yours.—Sri Sathya Sai Baba1 The drive for objective assessments and measurements in recent years has overshadowed some of the subjective aspects of medical care.

Pain Threshold and Discrimination of Pain Intensity during Brief Exposure to Intense Noise

Science, 1962
Neither pain threshold nor the capacity to discriminate intensity of mild pain was significantly altered during simultaneous stimulation by intense "white" noise. These observations indicate that the reported clinical usefulness of such auditory stimulation during painful therapeutic procedures does not result from an alteration in the capacity to ...

Pain Intensity Measurement in Chronic Low Back Pain

The Clinical Journal of Pain, 1991
This study investigated the psychometric properties of eight pain intensity measures used with chronic low back pain patients. All measures were similar in terms of scale distribution and rates of incorrect responses, with all scales apart from the Pain Rating Index significantly correlated.

Management of Pain in Intensive Care Settings

Anesthesiology Clinics of North America, 1992
An organized treatment plan for providing analgesia in ICU settings can make a significant difference in patient comfort and outcome. Advanced analgesic techniques are available for use at each level of the "pain pathway." These include agents and methods that act at the periphery, at the spinal cord level, and through a systemic approach. Consultation

Shoulder Pain Intensity and Distribution

2016
Rotator cuff has always attracted great interest because it may be responsible for shoulder pain, loss of strength, simple or complex disabilities, partial or total inability to work, thus reducing quality of life. Several studies have been performed with the aim to understand the etiology and natural history of the lesion and how to treat it.
