Article Abstract
Objective: Effective chronic pain management is essential for maintaining psychological health and quality of life. Chronic pain often co-occurs with psychological and physiological concerns such as sleep-related impairment, fatigue, and pain catastrophizing, all of which interact and influence treatment outcomes. This study explored the dynamic interactions among chronic pain-related outcomes in adults undergoing complementary and integrative health and/or standard rehabilitative care interventions.
Materials And Methods: Using a secondary analysis of a pragmatic clinical trial, we analyzed data from 182 adults with chronic pain who completed data at both pre- and post-intervention time points at a pain treatment facility. We investigated associations between 10 patient-reported outcomes: pain intensity, anger, anxiety, depression, fatigue, pain interference, physical function, satisfaction with social roles and activities, pain catastrophizing, and sleep-related impairment. Cross-sectional network analyses evaluated static relationships at pre- and post-intervention, and cross-lagged panel network analysis captured temporal dynamics.
Results: Pain interference, depression, anxiety, and fatigue showed the highest strength centrality in the cross-sectional networks, and sleep-related impairment, pain interference, physical function, and pain intensity exhibited the highest out-expected influence centrality in the cross-lagged panel network model. Bootstrap analyses confirmed network stability and moderate accuracy.
Conclusion: These findings highlight that relying solely on cross-sectional relationships between outcomes can overlook the evolving relationships between them during an intervention. Understanding these dynamic patterns is critical for refining intervention strategies and tailoring them to effectively target key outcomes. Incorporating such insights into clinical practice can lead to more adaptive and impactful chronic pain management approaches.

Background: Migraine pathophysiology involves a constellation of metabolic abnormalities. These interlinked contributory factors include mitochondrial dysfunction, an altered gut microbiome, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, weight imbalance, and altered glucose metabolism. The ketogenic diet is an emerging therapy which may restore hypometabolism seen in chronic migraine.

Background: Neuropathic pain (NP) is frequently resistant to conventional treatments. Botulinum toxin type A (BT-A) is a recommended option for focal peripheral NP, but the dynamics of its effect in real-life conditions remain poorly characterized.
Objective: To assess BT-A efficacy in a real-world study of patients with focal peripheral NP, over a 1-year follow-up period.

In this review, the primary aim is to examine non-azole ring systems that have analgesic activity and, where applicable, to establish structure - activity relationships (SARs) with the nine major pathways, prostaglandin synthesis inhibition, opioid receptor modulation, sodium channel blockade, enhancement of serotonin and norepinephrine levels, cannabinoid receptor (CBR) binding, N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonism, transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) antagonism, and P2X purinergic receptor blockade, have been described for pain relief. Analgesic effects have been observed in compounds containing ring systems such as piperidine, piperazine, pyridine, pyridazine, pyrazine, morpholine, thiomorpholine, pyran, thiopyran, indane, benzofuran, benzothiophene, quinoline, quinazoline, and chromene. These ring systems were classified in the whole study, first according to their molecular weights and then by bioisosteric similarity as same as first part.
