Cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric validation of the Persian version of the central sensitization inventory.
The Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) is a patient-reported tool to assess symptoms associated with central sensitization (CS). It consists of two parts: Part A assesses 25 somatic and emotional CS-related health symptoms, and part B asks if one has previously been diagnosed with a list of 10 Central Sensitivity Syndromes and related conditions. ⋯ The CSI-Per demonstrated good validity and reliability to assess symptoms associated with CS in Persian-speaking patients with chronic pain.

The presence of aura is not related to changes in the cervical performance and mobility of patients with migraine.
Migraine may be associated with neck impairment and migraine chronicity is related to greater disability. However, whether other subclassifications of migraine, such as migraine with aura, are related to neck impairment is currently unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the musculoskeletal aspects of the neck in patients with migraine with and without aura. ⋯ There was no association between aura and neck pain disability, reduced upper cervical spine mobility or reduced neck muscle performance. No differences in the neck impairment level between patients with and without aura during the clinical assessment of the cervical spine are expected.

Meta AnalysisMotor control training of deep neck flexors with pressure biofeedback improves pain and disability in patients with neck pain: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
The effects of motor control training with pressure biofeedback on neck pain and disability of patients with neck pain is a field that has drawn a lot of research interest. Therefore, the aim of this study was to conduct, for the first time, a systematic review and meta-analysis for examining whether motor control training of deep neck flexors with pressure biofeedback improves pain and disability in patients with neck pain. ⋯ Motor control training of deep neck flexors with pressure biofeedback is an effective intervention for improving pain intensity and disability in patients with neck pain and preferable to strength-endurance training of cervical muscles.

Assessing future health care practitioners' knowledge and attitudes of musculoskeletal pain; development and measurement properties of a new questionnaire.
Healthcare practitioner beliefs influence patients' beliefs and health outcomes in musculoskeletal (MSK) pain. A validated questionnaire based on modern pain neuroscience assessing Knowledge and Attitudes of Pain (KNAP) was unavailable. ⋯ The KNAP has adequate measurement properties. This new questionnaire could be useful to evaluate physiotherapy students' knowledge and attitudes of modern pain neuroscience that could help to create awareness and evaluate physiotherapy education programs, and ultimately provide better pain management.

European Portuguese version of the Child Self-Efficacy Scale: A contribution to cultural adaptation, validity and reliability testing in adolescents with chronic musculoskeletal pain.
Pain Self-efficacy is an important resilience mechanism in adolescents with chronic musculoskeletal pain. The Child Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES) was developed to assess self-efficacy related to functioning despite pain. ⋯ The European Portuguese version of the CSES appears to be valid and reliable in adolescents with chronic musculoskeletal pain.
