Priorities for HIV and chronic pain research: Results from a survey of individuals with lived experience
The Global Task Force on Chronic Pain in HIV published seven research priorities in the field of HIV-associated chronic pain in 2019: (1) causes; (2) management; (3) treatment individualization and integration with addiction treatment; (4) mental and social health factors; (5) prevalence; (6) treatment cost effectiveness; and (7) prevention. The current study used a web-based survey to determine whether the research topics were aligned with the p…
Health Care Service Utilization Among People with HIV, Chronic Pain, and Depression: Utilization and Cost Outcomes from the HIV-Pass Study
The Global Task Force for Chronic Pain in People with HIV (PWH): Developing a research agenda in an emerging field
Chronic pain is a common comorbidity in people with HIV (PWH), with prevalence estimates of 25-85%. Research in this area is growing, but significant gaps remain. A Global Task Force of HIV experts was organized to brainstorm a scientific agenda and identify measurement domains critical to advancing research in this field. Experts were identified through literature searches and snowball sampling. Two online questionnaires were developed by Task F…
The relationship between substance use and physical activity among people living with HIV, chronic pain, and symptoms of depression: A cross-sectional analysis
Chronic pain, depression, and substance use are common among people living with HIV (PLWH). Physical activity can improve pain and mental health. Some substances such as cannabis may alleviate pain, which may allow PLWH to participate in more physical activity. However, risks of substance use include poorer mental health and HIV clinical outcomes. This cross-sectional analysis examined the relationships of self-reported substance use (alcohol, ca…
Anger and substance use in HIV-positive patients with chronic pain
Chronic pain increases the risk of substance use in people living with HIV (PLWH). Depression and anxiety have also been identified as risk factors for substance use among PLWH. Relatedly, other negative mood states, such as anger, may influence chronic pain among PLWH. The current cross-sectional study examined whether the distinct negative mood state of anger is associated with substance use among 187 PLWH who report chronic pain. Using negativ…
HIV-Pass (Pain and Sadness Support): Randomized Controlled Trial of a Behavioral Health Intervention for Interference Due to Pain in People Living With HIV, Chronic Pain, and Depression
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine whether HIV-Pain and Sadness Support (HIV-PASS), a collaborative behavioral health intervention based on behavioral activation, is associated with decreased pain-related interference with daily activities, depression, and other outcomes in people living with HIV. METHODS: We conducted a three-site clinical trial ( n = 187) in which we randomly assigned participants to receive either HIV-PASS or health educ…
Strategies Used to Manage Chronic Pain in HIV-Disease: Comparing Persons Prescribed Opioids Versus Persons not Receiving Opioids
Acceptance of chronic pain in depressed patients with HIV: Correlations with activity, functioning, and emotional distress
Chronic pain is highly prevalent among persons with HIV (PWH), as is depression. Both comorbidities might contribute to, as well as be maintained by, avoidance-based coping. A promising alternative to avoidance-based coping is acceptance. Acceptance of pain is associated with improved functioning and quality of life in chronic pain patients, but this relationship has not been substantially explored among PWH. Cross-sectional data from 187 adult o…
Pharmacologic and Non-Pharmacologic Treatments for Chronic Pain Used by Patients with Pain, HIV, and Depression
Benefits of Yoga on IL-6: Findings from a Randomized Controlled Trial of Yoga for Depression
The present research sought to examine whether hatha yoga, implemented as an adjunctive intervention for major depression, influences markers of inflammation. A subset of 84 participants who were enrolled in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of hatha yoga vs. health education control provided blood samples at baseline (pre-treatment) and at 3-(during treatment) and 10-week (end of treatment) follow-up visits. To be eligible for the RCT, partici…
Pilot Randomized Trial of Collaborative Behavioral Treatment for Chronic Pain and Depression in Persons Living with HIV/Aids
Potential for Prenatal Yoga to Serve as an Intervention to Treat Depression During Pregnancy
Prospective associations between marital adjustment and life satisfaction
Actor and partner effects for the 2‐year longitudinal associations between marital adjustment and life satisfaction were evaluated in a population‐based sample of middle‐aged and older adults ( N = 1,385 couples). Results showed that (a) higher marital adjustment at baseline predicted higher life satisfaction at follow‐up, (b) higher life satisfaction at baseline predicted higher marital adjustment at follow‐up, (c) marital adjustment more strong…
Relations of Depressive Symptoms and Antidepressant Use to Body Mass Index and Selected Biomarkers for Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease
Objectives. We investigated whether depressive symptoms and antidepressant use are associated with biomarkers for glucose dysregulation and inflammation, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference. Methods. Postmenopausal women were recruited into the Women’s Health Initiative from 1993 to 1998, and data were collected at regular intervals through 2005. We used multiple linear regression models to examine whether depressive symptoms and antid…
Barriers and Facilitators of Treatment for Depression in a Latino Community: A Focus Group Study
Prospective associations between marital discord and depressive symptoms in middle-aged and older adults.
Data from both spouses in a population-based sample of middle-aged and older adults (N = 1,869 couples) were used to evaluate the 2-year prospective association between marital discord and depressive symptoms. Nested path analyses indicated that (a) baseline marital discord predicted one's own depressive symptoms at follow-up, (b) baseline depressive symptoms predicted one's own marital discord at follow-up, (c) baseline depressive symptoms predi…
Psychopathology and Marital Satisfaction: The Importance of Evaluating Both Partners.
Using path analysis and hierarchical linear modeling, the authors evaluated the associations between both partners' level of depression and anxiety, as measured by Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) content scales, and both partners' level of marital satisfaction among married couples (N = 774) that participated in the MMPI restandardization study. Results indicated that marital satisfaction was predicted by the person's own l…
Correlates of Depression and Marital Dissatisfaction: Perceptions of Marital Communication Style
It has been suggested that variables that predict marital dissatisfaction may also serve to predict depression symptoms, especially in women. The current study explored, in a community sample of married individuals, the associations among marital dissatisfaction, depression symptoms, and perceptions of marital communication styles (i.e., self-silencing and the demand-withdraw communication pattern). Analyses were conducted separately by sex in or…
