..One approach to addressing the gaps will involve assessment and management of pain and symptoms as multidimensional experiences in people receiving palliative care and at end of life...

..The purpose of this study was to assess the trajectory of orofacial and other pain during and following treatment, using patient reports of neuropathic pain and nociceptive pain and pain impact...

..Importantly, their pain may be both nociceptive and neuropathic, contrary to common expectations that SCD pain is only nociceptive. Few patients, however, took drugs effective for neuropathic pain...

..Findings support the workshop as an effective way to facilitate adoption of this innovative educational resource and support the development of a nation-wide training plan for TNEEL with experiential workshops...

..Visibility of pain and distress is the first step necessary for the hospice team to develop a care plan for improving control of noxious symptoms...

..Although coaching increases the amount of pain data communicated to providers by patients with lung cancer, the magnitude is small and does not lead to improved adequacy of analgesics prescribed for each patient's pain level...

..Psychological factors that may alter pain perception in cancer patients have not been well studied. The study purpose was to explore differences in pain, anxiety, and depression by type of primary cancer...

..Extensive details about the thought processes of pediatric nurses regarding pain assessment and management surfaced through this analysis, which provide excellent information for direction of future research and practice innovations...

..Course evaluations demonstrated the success of the blended course in comparison to the traditional, exclusive face-to-face approach...

..To examine correlates of participation in regular physical activities among young adult survivors of childhood cancers...

..Coupled with emerging animal models of SCD pain, we can now start to elucidate neurobiological mechanisms underlying pain in SCD, which may lead to better understanding and effective therapies...

..The findings warrant additional research to confirm the subgroup-specific symptom cluster experience profiles in larger studies of ACC-survivors...

..These findings enhance understanding of the reproductive experiences in people with SCD and SCT and provide the groundwork for developing an educational intervention focused on making informed decisions about becoming a parent...

..These revisions could further enhance the technological aspects, usability, and cultural appropriateness of the tool for African Americans with sickle cell disease...

..Research instruments that effectively measure key pain constructs without needlessly taxing participants are invaluable to investigative processes...

..PAINReportIt was feasible as a data-collection modality among our PD cohort, and with modifications may be used as both an investigative instrument and clinical tool for the evaluation of PD-related pain syndromes...

..Improved directions and practice screens would likely improve patients' independence in completing PAINReportIt, which would free clinicians to focus direct communication on more complex pain issues...

..Our findings have numerous implications for the development of electronic teaching materials for nursing...
