Article Abstract

Aim: To present the development, evaluation and adaptation of the PAIN-Neo theory.

Design: Theory development.

Data Sources: A review of literature was conduct from 1980 to 2021.

Results: Using a critical realism paradigm, this paper presents the PAIN-Neo theory, which was developed from an analysis of existing theoretical perspectives on paediatric procedural pain, empirical studies conducted with preterm infants, and the research team's pain management expertise. The theory was then empirically tested and fine-tuned.

Implications For Nursing: The PAIN-Neo theory highlights that the neonatal nurse is part of a larger picture as she is influenced by factors related to her unit, hospital and country of practice. This theory emphasizes the importance of parental involvement in pain management, which is consistent with family-centred nursing practices.

Conclusion: The PAIN-Neo theory reflects the complexity of pain management nursing. This theory is innovative and specific enough to guide practice, structure research projects and contribute to the body of knowledge in the discipline of nursing.

Background: Gastric cancer epidemiology evolved rapidly in the last century, shifting from being one of the main causes of cancer-related death to the sixth in high-income countries.

Methods: We conducted a narrative review on gastric cancer epidemiology. Our review focused on trends of gastric cancer and its relationship with Helicobacter pylori infection; cardia and noncardia gastric cancer risk factors; early onset gastric cancer; second primary cancers in patients with gastric cancer; and implementation of gastric cancer prevention strategies.

Difficult Single-Lead Spinal Cord Stimulator Trial for Failed Back Surgery Syndrome Salvages Treatment.

Pain Med Case Rep

December 2023

Background: Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a minimally invasive neuromodulation treatment modality primarily used for failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS), complex regional pain syndrome, and diabetic neuropathy. Specifically, when utilized for the treatment of FBSS, placement can be complicated by the excessive scarring, adhesions, and altered anatomy limiting the access to the epidural space and advancement of the leads.

Case Report: Our patient is a 58-year-old woman with a history of scoliosis and severe lumbar spinal stenosis who presented for trial of an SCS for FBSS.

Background: Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is a minimally invasive neuromodulation treatment modality primarily indicated for failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS). When FBSS occurs in the setting of spinal cord injury (SCI) it can often be refractory to treatment with opioids and anticonvulsants; in such cases, SCS has demonstrated promising results. Here, we present a case series of 2 patients with FBSS in the setting of SCI who received pain relief with SCS therapy.
