The lived experience of pain tends to be a blind spot in pain management. This study aimed to: (1) integrate qualitative research investigating the lived experience of a range of CNCP conditions; (2) establish common qualitative themes in CNCP experience; and (3) evaluate the relevance of our results through a survey questionnaire based on these themes, administered across the United Kingdom. Methods: Six bibliographic databases were searched from inception to February 2021 to identify Qualitative Evidence Syntheses (QES) that investigated the lived experience of CNCP and its impact on everyday life and activities. Themes and trends were derived by thematic qualitative analysis in collaboration with two patient and public involvement representatives through two workshops. The output from these workshops helped inform the creation of twenty survey statements. Results: The research team identified and screened 1,323 titles, and considered 86 abstracts, including 20 in the final review. Eight themes were developed from the study findings: (1) my pain gives rise to negative emotions; (2) changes to my life and to my self; (3) adapting to my new normal; (4) effects of my pain management strategies; (5) hiding and showing my pain; (6) medically explaining my pain; (7) relationships to those around me; and (8) working while in pain. Each theme gave rise to one or two survey questions. The survey was shared with members of the UK pain community over a two-week period in November 2021, and was completed by 1,219 people, largely confirming the above themes. Conclusion/implications: This study provides a validated summary of the lived experience of CNCP. It highlights the adverse nature, complications, and consequences of living with CNCP in the UK, and the multiple shortcomings in the ways in which pain is addressed by others in the UK. Our findings are consistent with published meta-ethnographies on chronic non-malignant musculoskeletal pain, and chronic low-back pain. Despite the underrepresentation of qualitative research in the pain literature compared to quantitative approaches, for understanding the complexity of the lived experience of pain, qualitative research is an essential tool.","PeriodicalId":46585,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Pain","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42381665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This abrupt change, in line with recommendations from the British Pain Society, aimed to protect patients and staff and allowed resource re-allocation. Pain services were obliged to switch to remote consultations using Video Tele-Conferencing Technology (VTC) and Remote Consultations (RC) either through telephone or video calls using a variety of media and software applications. Little is known about the patient experience of remotely delivered pain care especially when alternatives are removed. The aim of this work was to understand the patient experience of this necessary switch regarding pain self-management interventions during the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods A mixed-methods evaluation of the patient experience from three pain self-management interventions, taking place in a large community-based pain rehabilitation service along the South Coast of England, was performed. Experience-Based Design (EBD) methods were used to map patient experience at touch points through two interventions that were delivered in a structured format. Semi-structured recorded interviews were transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis for the third. Findings Fifty-eight patients took part covering the scope of the service. In general, educational and psychological sessions were well received, with physical rehabilitation components being less easy to convey remotely. Attrition rates were high for the pain management programme. Group pain education worked particularly well in an online format with hope being the predominant emotion experienced. Clear limitations were technical failures and the lack of ability to form relationships in a virtual world. Conclusions Remote digitalised interventions were acceptable to most patients. Attention should be paid to access and improving social aspects of delivery when considering such interventions. Physiotherapy may require more face-to-face necessitating a hybrid model and needs further investigation. EBD proved a highly suitable approach.","PeriodicalId":46585,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Pain","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9396734/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9317033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
