Evidence-Based Pain Management: Building on the Foundations of Cochrane Systematic Reviews
We discuss the history and current status of evidence-based medicine for the prevention and treatment of acute and chronic pain as it has developed in the Cochrane Collaboration’s Pain, Palliative and Supportive Care Review Group. To date, the Pain, Palliative and Supportive Care Review Group has published 277 reviews and a further 11 reviews of systematic reviews summarizing the evidence for interventions. The Cochrane Library has readily availa…
You have to be a jack of all trades: Fathers parenting their adolescent with chronic pain
Adolescent chronic pain has an extensive impact on parents, with research typically focused on exploring maternal experiences. This exploratory study sought to identify the specific experiences of six UK fathers who parent an adolescent with chronic pain. Data from semi-structured interviews were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Paternal experiences were characterised by four themes: 'helplessness', 'containment', 'balance…
The social negotiation of fitness for work: Tensions in doctor-patient relationships over medical certification of chronic pain
The UK government is promoting the health benefits of work, in order to change doctors' and patients' behaviour and reduce sickness absence. The rationale is that many people 'off sick' would have better outcomes by staying at work; but reducing the costs of health care and benefits is also an imperative. Replacement of the 'sick note' with the 'fit note' and a national educational programme are intended to reduce sickness-certification rates, bu…
Knowledge capture for self management of long-term conditions
Introduction: Self-management encourages a person with a long-term condition (LTC) to solve problems, take decisions, locate and use resources and take actions to manage their condition
An investigation of constructions of justice and injustice in chronic pain: A Q-methodology approach
This study used Q-methodology to explore justice-related accounts of chronic pain. Eighty participants completed the Q-sorting procedure (33 chronic pain sufferers and 47 non-pain sufferers). Analysis revealed five main factors. Three factors blame: society for poor medical and interpersonal treatment; the chronic pain sufferer for indulging in self-pity and unempathic healthcare workers for ignoring patients. A fourth factor acknowledges the unf…
It's not fair: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of discourses of justice and fairness in chronic pain
Quantitative research suggests that perceiving injustice can impact negatively upon physical and psychological health in chronic pain. However, little is known about the experience and perceptions of injustice in this context. This study examines the phenomenology of justice and injustice in chronic pain. Fifteen chronic pain sufferers recruited from General Practices in upper, middle and lower socioeconomic areas participated in one of three foc…
Acceptance of chronic pain: Component analysis and a revised assessment method
Acceptance of chronic pain entails that an individual reduce unsuccessful attempts to avoid or control pain and focus instead on participation in valued activities and the pursuit of personally relevant goals. Recent research suggests that pain-related acceptance leads to enhanced emotional and physical functioning in chronic pain patients above and beyond the influence of depression, pain intensity, and coping. In these studies, acceptance was m…
How can we learn to live with pain? A Q-methodological analysis of the diverse understandings of acceptance of chronic pain
Making sense of everyday pain
Pain demands attention: A cognitive-affective model of the interruptive function of pain
Pain interrupts and demands attention. The authors review evidence for how and why this interruption of attention is achieved. The interruptive function of pain depends on the relationship between pain-related characteristics (e.g., the threat value of pain) and the characteristics of the environmental demands (e.g., emotional arousal). A model of the interruptive function of pain is developed that holds that pain is selected for action from with…

Patients' and professionals' understandings of the causes of chronic pain: Blame, responsibility and identity protection
On the Textuality of Being: Towards an Invigorated Social Constructionism
This paper addresses some of the common criticisms directed against social constructionism. Criticisms which hold constructionism to be a disguised form of behaviourism, a doctrine of subjectivist relativism and an approach of political naivete and impotence are specifically discussed. The analytic of Textuality is introduced as a way of invigorating the constructionist position and rendering such criticism ill-judged and invalid. Textuality, in …
