We employed item and scale psychometrics (exploratory factor analyses, confirmatory factor analyses and item-response theory statistics) to refine items to a brief scale. Results: Following removal of problematic items (poor retest-reliability or wording, semantic redundancy, differential item functioning, collinearity or rarity) iterative factor analytic procedures identified a 10-item unifactorial scale with good model fit in the total sample (N= 426; CFI = 0.981, TLI = 0.975, RMSEA = 0.057), and among pain (CFI = 0.969, TLI = 0.960, RMSEA = 0.062) and OST subgroups (CFI = 0.989, TFI = 0.986, RMSEA = 0.051). The 10 items provided good discrimination between groups, demonstrated acceptable test-retest reliability (ICC 0.80, 95% CI 0.60-0.89; Cronbach's alpha = 0.89), were moderately correlated with related constructs, including opioid dependence (SDS), depression and stress (DASS subscales) and Social Relationships and Environment domains of the WHO-QoL, and had strong face validity among advising clinicians. Conclusions: The Opioid-Related Behaviours In Treatment (ORBIT) scale is brief, reliable and validated for use in diverse patient groups receiving opioids. The ORBIT has potential applications as a checklist to prompt clinical discussions and as a tool to quantify aberrant behaviour and assess change over time.]]> Wed 24 Nov 2021 15:52:02 AEDT ]]> Combined transcranial magnetic stimulation and electroencephalography reveals alterations in cortical excitability during pain https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55188 Wed 24 Apr 2024 12:59:56 AEST ]]> Eating habits and the desire to eat healthier among patients with chronic pain: a registry-based study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54883 Wed 20 Mar 2024 13:20:30 AEDT ]]> The effect of a pilot dietary intervention on pain outcomes in patients attending a tertiary pain service https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35856 Wed 11 Dec 2019 14:51:22 AEDT ]]> PAIN - Novel targets and new technologies (editorial) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19629 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:52:46 AEST ]]> Living with chronic pain in a residential aged care facility https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5087 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:34:33 AEST ]]> Individual multidisciplinary assessment versus group assessment at an Australian tertiary multidisciplinary pain service: a randomised trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21959 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:16:49 AEST ]]> Opioid use in chronic non-cancer pain part 2: prescribing issues and alternatives https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15282 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:33:44 AEST ]]> Assessment of adults experiencing chronic non-cancer pain: a randomized trial of group versus individual format at an Australian tertiary pain service https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23174 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:36:58 AEST ]]> Estimating the risk of chronic pain: development and validation of a prognostic model (PICKUP) for patients with acute low back pain https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24881 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:10:28 AEST ]]> Opioid use in chronic non-cancer pain: part 1: known knowns and known unknowns https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15281 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:22:22 AEST ]]> Treatment expectancy in individuals with chronic pain attending a pain management program https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10393 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:40:48 AEST ]]> No differences between individuals with chronic idiopathic neck pain and asymptomatic individuals on seven cervical sensorimotor control tests: a cross-sectional study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41021 Wed 09 Nov 2022 10:08:13 AEDT ]]> Neurokinin 1 receptor signaling in endosomes mediates sustained nociception and is a viable therapeutic target for prolonged pain relief https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34617 Wed 09 Feb 2022 15:55:15 AEDT ]]> Overall prognosis of acute and chronic musculoskeletal, widespread, and neuropathic pain in children and adolescents https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50838 Wed 09 Aug 2023 09:03:46 AEST ]]> 'Possibly the most difficult thing you’ll do’: a nurse supported pathway to enable prescription opioid reduction and entry to treatment for chronic non cancer pain https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51232 Wed 06 Mar 2024 14:55:44 AEDT ]]> General practitioners and management of chronic noncancer pain: A cross-sectional survey of influences on opioid deprescribing https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36880 Wed 06 Apr 2022 14:01:54 AEST ]]> Using opioids in general practice for chronic non-cancer pain: an overview of current evidence https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29740 Wed 06 Apr 2022 13:59:22 AEST ]]> A scoping review of outpatient interventions to support the reduction of prescription opioid medication for chronic non cancer pain https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47976 Wed 05 Jul 2023 15:53:23 AEST ]]> Pharmacological interventions for chronic pain in children: an overview of systematic reviews https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45574 Wed 02 Nov 2022 10:16:23 AEDT ]]> Using mediation analysis to understand how treatments for paediatric pain work: A systematic review and recommendations for future research https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43660 N = 635), which included a total of 53 mediation models examining how interventions affect pain-relevant outcomes for youth. Five studies were secondary analyses of randomized controlled trials of psychological interventions for chronic pain; one was a longitudinal observational study of morphine for acute pain. The pain conditions studied were irritable bowel syndrome, functional abdominal pain, juvenile fibromyalgia, mixed chronic pain, and post-operative pain. Fourteen putative mediators were tested, of which three partially mediated treatment effect; seven did not significantly mediate treatment effect and four had mixed results. Methodological and reporting limitations were common. There are substantial gaps in the field with respect to investigating, and therefore understanding, how paediatric interventions work.]]> Tue 27 Sep 2022 14:54:14 AEST ]]> Rewards, perils and pitfalls of untangling spinal pain circuits https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36682 Tue 23 Jun 2020 15:59:42 AEST ]]> Management of patients experiencing chronic non-cancer pain in Australian primary care https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37786 Tue 22 Jun 2021 15:48:03 AEST ]]> What Are the Mechanisms of Action of Cognitive-Behavioral, Mind-Body, and Exercise-based Interventions for Pain and Disability in People with Chronic Primary Musculoskeletal Pain?: A Systematic Review of Mediation Studies from Randomized Controlled Trials https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52540 Tue 17 Oct 2023 10:11:57 AEDT ]]> Chronic pain Overlap and specificity in multimorbidity management https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48329 Tue 14 Mar 2023 16:47:58 AEDT ]]> Differences in Structural Brain Characteristics Between Individuals with Chronic Nonspecific Neck Pain and Asymptomatic Controls: A Case–Control Study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48296 Tue 14 Mar 2023 12:07:36 AEDT ]]> Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Tolerability of a Medicinal Cannabis Formulation in Patients with Chronic Non-cancer Pain on Long-Term High Dose Opioid Analgesia: A Pilot Study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48282 Tue 14 Mar 2023 11:24:24 AEDT ]]> The effectiveness of general physical exercise for individuals with chronic neck pain: a systematic review of randomised controlled trials https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54231 Tue 13 Feb 2024 12:28:25 AEDT ]]> Analysing individuals’ failure to engage with a multidisciplinary pain clinic programme https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11820 Tue 11 Dec 2018 16:12:13 AEDT ]]> Effect of graded sensorimotor retraining on pain intensity in patients with chronic low back pain: a randomized clinical trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51903 3 months) nonspecific low back pain from primary care and community settings. A total of 276 adults were randomized (in a 1:1 ratio) to the intervention or sham procedure and attention control groups delivered by clinicians at a medical research institute in Sydney, Australia. The first participant was randomized on December 10, 2015, and the last was randomized on July 25, 2019. Follow-up was completed on February 3, 2020. Interventions: Participants randomized to the intervention group (n = 138) were asked to participate in 12 weekly clinical sessions and home training designed to educate them about and assist them with movement and physical activity while experiencing lower back pain. Participants randomized to the control group (n = 138) were asked to participate in 12 weekly clinical sessions and home training that required similar time as the intervention but did not focus on education, movement, and physical activity. The control group included sham laser and shortwave diathermy applied to the back and sham noninvasive brain stimulation. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcome was pain intensity at 18 weeks, measured on an 11-point numerical rating scale (range, 0 [no pain] to 10 [worst pain imaginable]) for which the between-group minimum clinically important difference is 1.0 point. Results: Among 276 randomized patients (mean [SD] age, 46 [14.3] years; 138 [50%] women), 261 (95%) completed follow-up at 18 weeks. The mean pain intensity was 5.6 at baseline and 3.1 at 18 weeks in the intervention group and 5.8 at baseline and 4.0 at 18 weeks in the control group, with an estimated between-group mean difference at 18 weeks of -1.0 point ([95% CI, -1.5 to -0.4]; P =.001), favoring the intervention group. Conclusions and Relevance: In this randomized clinical trial conducted at a single center among patients with chronic low back pain, graded sensorimotor retraining, compared with a sham procedure and attention control, significantly improved pain intensity at 18 weeks. The improvements in pain intensity were small, and further research is needed to understand the generalizability of the findings.

Between-group differences were determined using linear mixed models, accounting for side (left or right), muscle, spinal level, sex, age, and body mass index (BMI). Individuals with pain had greater muscle volume (mean difference 76.8mm3; 95% CI 26.6–127.0; p = .003) and MFI (2.3%; 0.2–4.5; p = .034) of the MFSS compared to matched controls with no differences in relative volume, accounting for factors associated with the outcomes: muscle, spinal level, side (left had smaller volume, relative volume and MFI than right), sex (females had less volume and relative volume than males), age (older age associated with less relative volume and greater MFI), and BMI (higher BMI associated with greater muscle volume and MFI). Greater MFI in individuals with chronic idiopathic neck pain suggests a possible underlying mechanism contributing to neck pain. Perspective: These findings suggest MFI in the MFSS may be radiologic sign, potentially identifying patients with a less favourable prognosis. Future studies are needed to confirm this finding and determine if MFI is a contributor to the development or persistence of neck pain, or consequence of neck pain.]]> Fri 27 Oct 2023 15:44:23 AEDT ]]> Therapeutic alternatives for supporting GPs to deprescribe opioids: a cross-sectional survey https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35404 Fri 26 Jul 2019 09:57:20 AEST ]]> Feasibility of patient-focused behavioral interventions to support adults experiencing chronic noncancer pain during opioid tapering: a systematic literature review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39695 Fri 17 Jun 2022 16:21:04 AEST ]]> Predictors and correlates of depression in retired elite level rugby league players https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47232 Fri 16 Dec 2022 12:08:56 AEDT ]]> T lymphocyte and monocyte subsets are dysregulated in type 1 diabetes patients with peripheral neuropathic pain https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49817 Fri 02 Jun 2023 16:35:22 AEST ]]>
