Establishing Consensus on the Breakthrough Pain Assessment Questionnaire-Self Report (BTPAQ-SR) for Typically Developing Children and Young People (8–25 yrs) with Life-Limiting and Life-Threatening Co…
The findings from this study support the clinical need for the BTPAQ-SR, confirm its conceptual foundation, and justify its continued development. Next steps include cognitive interviews with children and young people and introduction to clinical care to assess the psychometric properties of the BTPAQ-SR, including its clinical utility, reliability, and validity
Definition and Assessment of Paediatric Breakthrough Pain
Infants, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions often experience acute, transient pain episodes known as breakthrough pain. There is currently no established way to assess breakthrough pain in paediatric palliative care. Anecdotal evidence suggests that it is frequently underdiagnosed and undertreated, resulting in reduced quality of life. The development of a standardised paediatric breakthrough pain assessme…
Combined cognitive biases for pain and disability information in individuals with chronic headache
Pain-related cognitive biases have been demonstrated in chronic pain patients, yet despite theoretical predictions are rarely investigated in combination. Combined cognitive biases were explored in individuals with chronic headache ( n = 17) and pain-free controls ( n = 20). Participants completed spatial cueing (attentional bias), sentence generation (interpretation bias) and free recall tasks (memory bias), with ambiguous sensory-pain, disabili…
Anxiety sensitivity is associated with attentional bias for pain-related information in healthy children and adolescents
This investigation explored the association between anxiety sensitivity and attentional bias for threatening information in children and adolescents ( N = 40). Participants completed a pictorial version of the visual-probe task, featuring pain-related, health-threat and general-threat images presented for 500 and 1250 ms. Regression analyses revealed significant associations between anxiety sensitivity and attentional bias towards pain-related im…
The role of threat expectancy in attentional bias and thermal pain perception in healthy individuals
The influence of threat expectancy upon attentional biases for pain-related information and pain thresholds was explored in healthy participants. Participants were randomized to receive either threatening ( n = 32) or nonthreatening ( n = 31) information regarding an upcoming computerized task assessing cold and heat pain thresholds. Participants receiving threatening information were more worried about the pain task and, relative to those receiv…
The effect of attachment orientation priming on pain sensitivity in pain-free individuals
The current study examined the causal relationship between secure and anxious attachment orientations and pain sensitivity in a pain-free sample. In a double blind repeated measures study, a cold pressor task was used to induce acute pain in 95 participants before and after priming them with a secure or anxious attachment orientation or a neutral prime. Measures of pain threshold, tolerance, catastrophizing and intensity were taken. Compared to t…
