Purpose
Up to 74% of breast cancer survivors (BCS) treated with aromatase inhibitor (AI) experience AI-induced musculoskeletal symptoms (AIMSS). AIMSS is the predominant cause of poor adherence to AI therapy, yet no definitive treatment exists. The primary research objectives of this study were (1) to develop a novel BCS-specific complex interventi...
Introduction:
Aromatase inhibitor (AI)-induced musculoskeletal symptoms (AIMSS) can decrease health-related quality of life and lead to discontinuation of AI therapy for postmenopausal women with breast cancer (BC). Although central sensitization (CS) may contribute to AIMSS, the relevance of CS-related symptoms to AIMSS has not been fully clarifi...
Background:
Persistent post-surgical pain (PPSP) is associated with upper limb dysfunction and decreased quality of life and causes long-term suffering for breast cancer survivors after surgery. However, the predictors of PPSP remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to examine predictors of PPSP intensity and interference at 1 year postopera...

Objectives:. The purpose of this study was to investigate how frequently people with knee osteoarthritis (OA) complain of swelling without objec...
Purpose
Central sensitization (CS)-related symptoms and pain catastrophizing contribute to persistent post-mastectomy pain (PPMP). Pain neuroscience education (PNE) is effective in reducing CS-related symptoms and pain catastrophizing in patients with chronic pain. However, to date, no intervention study of PNE has been conducted to patients with P...

Methods:
Forty-five individuals participated in this...
