Dynamic structural equation modeling assessed the impact of race/ethnicity and discrimination on stress-pain relationships, as well as pain and stress dynamics. To assess chronic pain (pain ≥3-months), participants had to complete ≥3-months of consecutive EMAs, leaving 578 participants available for primary analyses (there were no racial/ethnic differences in EMA completion). Results showed NAs had the highest rate of chronic pain that was statistically significantly higher than NHW and Black participants. Controlling discrimination eliminated the NA-NHW, but not the NA-Black, pain inequity. Moreover, a reciprocal stress-pain relationship was found and was stronger in NAs than other groups.

We conducted a qualitative study using a narrative inquiry approach to unpack the participants’ stories on these pivotal conditions. We carried out 25 individual interviews with persons who considered they had been living well with their pain for a minimum of 6 months. Data were analyzed using the inductive narrative method.

Three main themes were identified: 1) a care partnership, 2) a nurturing environment, and 3) breaking free from previous life to move forward. These themes were then divided into 11 sub-themes, providing an in-depth understanding of the pivotal conditions needed to live well with chronic pain.

Using a sample from the 2021 and 2022 National Survey of Children’s Health (conducted by parent report), we aimed to determine the prevalence of transition readiness among adolescents with chronic pain in the U.S. and estimate the association of readiness with biopsychosocial-cultural and health system characteristics.

Using Poisson regression, we determined those more likely to meet criteria were older (PR 1.8 95%CI: 1.3, 2.6), female (PR 1.6 95% CI: 1.2, 2.2), White (Asian PR 0.4, 95% CI: 0.2, 0.9, Multi-racial PR 0.6 95% CI: 0.4, 0.9), and experienced shared decision making (aPR 1.7 95% CI: 1.1, 2.8).

We use poems to portray findings from a systematic review of qualitative research. The overall aim of the review was to distil essential experiences across pain conditions and contexts. This report, focusing on the emotional impact of pain, is one of a series of three analyses from one systematic review of qualitative research. We used meta-ethnography to synthesise research. We identified studies in English that explored acute and/or chronic child and/or adolescent pain experience. Findings were distilled into themes and poems co-created in English and Spanish. We included 189 reports (177 unique studies) incorporating 5875 people (at least 3484 reported as female). Most studies (93%) included participants aged 11-20 years (range 2-38). The studies explored acute (24% studies), chronic (75%), and acute/chronic (1%). We report seven themes: (1) Pain can be hard to bear; (2) Pain is scary; (3) Pain is constantly at the back of my mind: (4) Pain makes me feel like I am outside alone; (5) Pain makes school a hard fit; (6) Pain can hurt me deep inside; (7) Pain has changed me. Our themes highlight the emotional impact of pain across conditions and contexts. Art and science are both integral to leaps in understanding. The contribution of the Arts is their unique ability to reach audiences on an affective level, giving the potential to underpin compassionate care and policy. We invite readers to utilise these poems to start a conversation about young people's pain experiences. This systematic review was registered on the PROSPERO database (CRD42023429027).

Of the components that make up the complement system, component 5a (C5a) and component 3a (C3a) are most strongly and consistently associated with pain. Receptors for C5a are widely found in immune resident cells (microglia, astrocytes, sensory neuron-associated macrophages (sNAMs)) in the central nervous system (CNS) as well as hematogenous immune cells (mast cells, macrophages, T-lymphocytes, etc.). When active, as is often observed in chronic pain conditions, these cells produce various inflammatory mediators including pro-inflammatory cytokines. These events can trigger nervous tissue inflammation (neuroinflammation) which coexists with and potentially maintains peripheral and central sensitization. C5a has a likely critical role in initiating this process highlighting its potential as a promising non-opioid target for treating pain. This review summarizes the most up-to-date research on the role of the complement system in pain with emphasis on the C5 pathway in peripheral tissue, dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and the CNS, and explores advances in complement-targeted drug development and sex differences.
