When did your pain start?: reliability of self-reported age of onset of facial pain

The Clinical Journal of Pain

Abstract

This study was designed to examine the reliability of self-reported onset of facial pain over a relatively long period, as well as factors that may influence the ability of patients to provide consistent pain onset dates. The implications of dating unreliability on assessing the temporal order of two potentially related disorders is also considered. A total of 125 women with a lifetime history of temporomandibular pain and dysfunction syndrome (TMPDS) were asked to report their pain onset date in the context of a structural health interview. Dates were compared with onset dates recorded an average of 7 years earlier in their clinical chart. Factors potentially affecting reliability of recall were also assessed. The absolute value of the discrepancy between the two reports was nearly 4 years. Only 26% reported onset dates within the same year. Forward-telescoping, in which events are recalled as occurring more recently than they actually occurred, was more common than backward-telescoping of onset dates. Intraclass correlations were good to excellent (ICC = .80 for full sample). Elapsed time between reports was the largest predictor of reporting discrepancy. These findings indicate that a single patient's report of pain onset, e...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
