Exploring the Capacity of Large Language Models to Assess the Chronic Pain Experience: Algorithm Development and Validation

Exploring the Capacity of Large Language Models to Assess the Chronic Pain Experience: Algorithm Development and Validation

More recently, WNs were used to explore the experience of children with functional abdominal pain and their parents [20], adults with neck or back pain [21], and people with fibromyalgia [22]. In a related manner, Kathan et al [23] used a qualitative survey in which people were asked to respond to questions about pain acceptability by using their own words.

Targeting Daily Positive Events to Improve Emotional and Functional Well-Being in Adults With Fibromyalgia: Insights From the LARKSPUR Randomized Controlled Trial

Targeting Daily Positive Events to Improve Emotional and Functional Well-Being in Adults With Fibromyalgia: Insights From the LARKSPUR Randomized Controlled Trial

Among chronic pain conditions, fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is one of the most prevalent and challenging to treat. FMS involves widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and debilitating symptoms that impair physical and psychological functioning [1-3]. While pharmacological treatments provide partial relief for some individuals, nonpharmacologic approaches are often needed to improve well-being [4].

Illicit Cannabis Use to Self-Treat Chronic Health Conditions in the United Kingdom: Cross-Sectional Study

Illicit Cannabis Use to Self-Treat Chronic Health Conditions in the United Kingdom: Cross-Sectional Study

The most common conditions for which they are now prescribed include chronic pain, anxiety, and fibromyalgia [3]. However, there are still several barriers to eligible patients accessing CBMPs, including cost, perceived stigmatization, and a lack of high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs) [4-7].

Perception of People Diagnosed With Fibromyalgia About Information and Communication Technologies for Chronic Pain Management: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Perception of People Diagnosed With Fibromyalgia About Information and Communication Technologies for Chronic Pain Management: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Moreover, individuals with fibromyalgia often experience altered pain perception and processing, making them more sensitive to pain compared to the general population. The prevalence of fibromyalgia worldwide is between 0.2% and 6.6% [18], with a greater rate in women, whose prevalence values are placed around 3.4%, while for men, the prevalence is around 0.5% [19]. These numbers, and the specificity of this condition, merit a study focused on them.

Development of a Management App for Postviral Fibromyalgia-Like Symptoms: Patient Preference-Guided Approach

Development of a Management App for Postviral Fibromyalgia-Like Symptoms: Patient Preference-Guided Approach

Very similar to previously described postviral conditions like myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome, the post–COVID-19 symptoms often fulfill classification criteria for fibromyalgia [10,11]. Moreover, recent studies suggest that fibromyalgia could be triggered by COVID-19, thus becoming a postviral chronic condition [12,13].

The Efficacy and Safety of Telerehabilitation for Fibromyalgia: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

The Efficacy and Safety of Telerehabilitation for Fibromyalgia: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Fibromyalgia is a common chronic pain syndrome characterized by persistent and widespread musculoskeletal pain that is usually accompanied by sleep disruption, fatigue, cognitive dysfunctions, and depressed mood [1,2]. The persistent physical and psychological symptoms of fibromyalgia lead to a decrease in patients’ quality of life (Qo L) and cause a huge economic burden on their families and society [3,4]. The main goals of fibromyalgia treatment are to reduce symptoms, maintain function, and improve Qo L.

Association Between Step Count Measured With a Smartphone App (Pain-Note) and Pain Level in Patients With Chronic Pain: Observational Study

Association Between Step Count Measured With a Smartphone App (Pain-Note) and Pain Level in Patients With Chronic Pain: Observational Study

In particular, increasing the level of daily activity in fibromyalgia has led to lower perceptions of functional deficits and pain level [8]. Since the mechanisms of pain perception are different in fibromyalgia and other types of chronic pain, the effectiveness of physical activity also differs with the type of chronic pain [9,10].

Fibromyalgia Impact Reduction Using Online Personal Health Informatics: Longitudinal Observational Study

Fibromyalgia Impact Reduction Using Online Personal Health Informatics: Longitudinal Observational Study

Fibromyalgia (FM) is one such condition in which optimal symptom management calls for highly individualized integration of pharmacological and nonpharmacological approaches [2]. We have developed an electronic health (e Health) intervention consisting of a daily health diary designed to enhance an individual’s awareness of health-related actions and their impacts in daily living.

Medication Adherence Prediction Through Online Social Forums: A Case Study of Fibromyalgia

Medication Adherence Prediction Through Online Social Forums: A Case Study of Fibromyalgia

The aim of this paper is to investigate the applicability of this approach to medication adherence among patients with fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia was selected to demonstrate the proposed approach because of its high incidence rate and the fact that it is subject to strict medication regimens with severe consequences of nonadherence [18]. The proposed medication-adherence models for this disease are trained using the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) dataset [19].

Scoping Review of Dance for Adults With Fibromyalgia: What Do We Know About It?

Individuals with fibromyalgia often experience comorbid illnesses, including musculoskeletal conditions, cardiovascular or endocrinological disorders, spondylosis/intervertebral disc disorders, interstitial cystitis bladder syndrome, chronic pelvic pain, temporomandibular joint disorder, and psychiatric disorders [6]. A substantial evidence base supports the use of physical activity for individuals with fibromyalgia.
