Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyEffect of video-based patient information on patients' anxiety and pain levels before skin biopsy: a randomized controlled study.
Effective use of technology can provide advantages for both patients and physicians in skin biopsy practice. We aimed to investigate the effects of video-based information on the anxiety, pain and satisfaction levels of patients undergoing biopsy. ⋯ Video-based information prior to skin biopsy may be more useful in managing anxiety and pain in patients than traditional verbal information.

Assessing procedural pain in infants: a feasibility study evaluating a point-of-care mobile solution based on automated facial analysis.
The management of procedural pain in infants is suboptimal, in part, compounded by the scarcity of a simple, accurate, and reliable method of assessing such pain. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the PainChek Infant, a point-of-care mobile application that uses automated facial evaluation and analysis in the assessment of procedural pain in infants. ⋯ PainChek.

Endogenous pain modulation can be quantified through the use of various paradigms. Commonly used paradigms include conditioned pain modulation (CPM), offset analgesia (OA), spatial summation of pain (SSP), and temporal summation of pain (TSP), which reflect spatial and temporal aspects of pro- and antinociceptive processing. Although these paradigms are regularly used and are of high clinical relevance, the underlying physiological mechanisms are not fully understood. ⋯ A limited association between pain modulation paradigms suggests that CPM, OA, SSP, and TSP assess distinct aspects of endogenous analgesia with different underlying physiological mechanisms.
