Predicting, preventing and managing persistent pain after breast cancer surgery: the importance of psychosocial factors

Schreiber, Kristin L, Kehlet, Henrik, Belfer, Inna, Edwards, Robert R·2014·Pain Management

Abstract

Persistent pain after breast cancer surgery (PPBCS) is increasingly recognized as a potential problem facing a sizeable subset of the millions of women who undergo surgery as part of their treatment of breast cancer. Importantly, an increasing number of studies suggest that individual variation in psychosocial factors such as catastrophizing, anxiety, depression, somatization and sleep quality play an important role in shaping an individual's risk of developing PPBCS. This review presents evidence for the importance of these factors and puts them within the context of other surgical, medical, psychophysical and demographic factors, which may also influence PPBCS risk, as well as discusses potential perioperative therapies to prevent PPBCS.

  • ACT, which does not directly target catastrophizing, is also effective in reducing catastrophizing.

    “Likewise, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which does not directly target catastrophizing, has shown to also be effective in reducing catastrophizing 324–327.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
