To the Editor: We were greatly impressed by article Jerry Shepherd et al,1 titled "Tobacco Use and Trigeminal Neuralgia: Clinical Features Outcome After Microvascular Decompression." The study indicates that smoking may worsen trigeminal neuralgia (TN) severity emphasizes importance of preoperative cessation for better patient outcomes. However, it has several limitations. First, this explores relationship between postoperative outcomes in TN using a variety pain assessment methods, including self-reported scales clinician evaluations. This variability data collection results inconsistencies lack standardization, making comparisons relief smokers nonsmokers subjective potentially biased.2 Therefore, more rigorous standardized strategy is essential to provide clearer insights support development clinical guidelines. In addition, did not monitor whether had quit before surgery or how long been since their last cigarette. Longitudinal on are determining withdrawal duration affects surgical outcomes, especially comparing recent with long-term undergoing microvascular decompression. limitation raises questions about impact Understanding timing habits relative symptoms can offer valuable counseling highlight need incorporate into treatment plans. Furthermore, also neglected psychological social factors affecting perception such as previous mental health issues (such anxiety depression) networks.3 These elements significantly affect coping strategies responses. interplay crucial developing effective approaches chronic syndromes.

Future research should adopt designs consider these effectively isolate effects smoking. Lastly, exploration underlying mechanisms limits study's potential guide future approaches. investigate biological TN, failing targeted interventions. preventive strategies. summary, while offers addressing aforementioned strengthening evidence base improving management TN. focus adopting comprehensive approach, larger sample sizes, longer follow-up periods, mechanism exploration, control advance understanding field.

The prescription of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) covered by the Italian National Health Service is limited to certain pathologies defined in 2018 update Note 66 Medicines Agency (AIFA), meant ensure appropriate use NSAIDs. This analysis was conducted real clinical practice describe NSAID utilization from 2019 2022 with respect update. For this real-world analysis, data were extracted administrative databases healthcare institutions covering ~ 9.1 million citizens. From 2022, all subjects ≥ 1 identified. Demographic and characteristics, proportion NSAID-treated patients over time, most prescribed molecules, drug consumption as daily dose (DDD) per 1000 inhabitants/day recorded. percentage showed a slight increase time (1.9–3.0%). active ingredients diclofenac, ketoprofen, nimesulide, etoricoxib, ibuprofen. increased 15.5 16.8 DDD/1000 2020–2022, especially older (65–74 years group: 36.2–39.3 inhabitants/day). 2,811,910 prescription(s) identified, whose average age 59.7 years. Among them, 0.1–1.0% received NSAIDs for rheumatic diseases 11.9% oncological setting. While ketoprofen commonly at medium–low dosage recommended, ibuprofen used high (600 mg) 80% cases. that relatively young (~ 60 years), contrast 66, which typically affect elderly people.

Objective: The purpose of this systematic review is to identify and appraise the evidence on effectiveness using wearable devices promote physical activity reduce pain in people with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Methods: Systematic searches electronic databases PubMed, CINAHL, Medline (Ovid) were undertaken for randomised control trials observational studies wearable-based interventions patients conditions. Result: Thirteen included review. methodological quality articles was found vary between moderate high quality. Studies osteoarthritis hip/knee (number; n = 5), low back (n 3), rheumatoid arthritis 1), juvenile idiopathic inflammatory spondylarthritis ankylosing spondylitis 1). intervention group some additional components associated use such as step or diet diary, motivational interviewing counselling, goal setting, multidimensional tailored exercise programme delivered person, remotely, a hybrid format. Intervention duration ranged from 1 week 28 weeks. There no serious adverse events related wearables. Overall, shows that technology effective increasing significantly, especially where extra (counselling, coaching, prescribed activity, physiotherapist) used among clinical non-clinical populations. However, significant effect reduction devices. Conclusions: It concluded should be encouraged Additional research needed, intervention, which may have an impact

Cancer pain remains a significant burden among children with cancer, and many patients experience starting around the time of diagnosis throughout course treatment. A biopsychosocial treatment approach has been recommended to improve management in this population; however, specific psychosocial factors that contribute early phases pediatric cancer have yet be identified. The purpose study was explore associated experiences during treatment, goal identifying who may at highest risk for inform future intervention prevention efforts. Data were collected from 203 (M = 12.3 years age, 53.2% male, 41.4% White, 26.6% Latino) their primary caregiver within first several weeks 10 weeks). Children completed self-report questionnaires caregivers self- parent-proxy baseline. Cancer-related data, including date diagnosis, abstracted child's electronic medical record. Multiple regression analysis used examine associations between factors, intensity, interference. Older female gender, elevated depressive symptoms, fatigue, child self-reported catastrophizing significantly increased intensity. Additionally, lower annual income, decreased physical functioning, greater catastrophizing, parent stress Findings underscore importance utilizing comprehensive assessment oncology. This highlights need targeted interventions address not only aspects but also psychological social contexts patients, ensuring more holistic effective strategy.
