NEUROCANTRIAL: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial of a pain neuroscience education programme in adults with cancer pain.

INTRODUCTION: Pain is the second most frequent symptom reported in patients with cancer among the main reasons for consultation. The incorporation of educational modalities in pain intervention processes has been suggested. This study aims to examine the efficacy of neuroscience pain education (PNE) in relation to pain, biopsychosocial variables and functional capacity in comparison with conventional treatment. It is hypothesised that an intervention based on PNE achieves better outcomes than conventional management, in terms of pain, biopsychosocial variables and functional capacity in adults with oncological pain. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This will be a single-blind, controlled clinical trial in which two groups will be compared using changes in pain as the primary measure. The first group will receive conventional treatment in addition to PNE, and participants will undergo an intervention of nine sessions (one session per week, for a total of 9 weeks), each lasting 30-40 min. Specifically, these sessions will teach biophysiological elements using metaphors that allow the adoption of these concepts related to pain. The second group will receive conventional treatment (pharmacological treatment). For this study, a sample size calculation was made based on the background, where 80 adults with oncological pain were required. An initial evaluation will be made to establish the baseline characteristics, and then, according to the randomisation, the assignment to the PNE group or the control group will be made and the two groups will be summoned again. Ten weeks later, for the intervention evaluation, the statistical analysis plan will be established by protocol and by intention-to-treat. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This protocol complies with all ethical considerations. The authors commit to presenting the study's results. This study was approved by the ethics committees of the Universidad Santiago de Cali, Clínica de Occidente/Angiografía de Occidente. The authors commit to presenting the study's results. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT05581784.

Dance as a neurorehabilitation strategy: A systematic review.

OBJECTIVE: This systematic review aimed to demonstrate the benefits of dance-based therapeutic interventions in rehabilitation processes in patients with neurological disorders. METHODS: Searches on the following databases and electronic search engines were conducted: MEDLINE, LILACS, Science Direct, SCOPUS, PeDro, BVS (virtual health library), and Google Scholar. Data extraction was independently performed by two authors. Twenty-five clinical trial-type studies that included dance and established outcome measures were included, and studies in which a musicalized exercise modality was used without the connotation of dance were excluded. RESULTS: From the results of multiple studies, the short-term motor benefits of rhythmic auditory stimulation on gait parameters were highlighted. Furthermore, there was scientific evidence demonstrating the benefits of the cognitive and social parameters of group dancing as significant improvements in cognitive flexibility and processing speed were highlighted. Recent studies showed that interventions based on exercise and/or rhythmic choreography can reduce the risk of falls in patients with neurological disorders, thereby improving their quality of life. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that dance is an innovative and effective method that can be included in therapies as it allows for a promising prognosis in motor, cognitive, and social performances of patients with neurological disorders that alter mobility and quality of life.

Effects of a Physical Exercise Program on the Physical Capacities of Older Adults: A Quasi-Experimental Study.

Purpose: To measure the effects of an exercise program on the physical capacities of older adults such as strength, flexibility, balance, and aerobic capacity. Patients and Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study on a population of 5550 older adults and a sample of 4830 participants in an active aging program designed by the Municipal Health Secretary. The exercise program lasted 12 months, and pre-and post-program intervention measures were recorded using the senior fitness test. Results: Most participants were women (92.4%) and their mean age was 70.7 years (standard deviation, 7.3 years; range, 60-97 years). All areas showed significant differences before and after the program in terms of the participants' physical capabilities (p < 0.05), muscular strength and flexibility had a more significant mean difference and a large effect (>0.80), except for aerobic capacity, which had a small effect. Conclusion: The present study revealed that a supervised physical exercise program at the community level has positive effects on the physical capacities of coordination, balance, flexibility, strength, and aerobic capacity, which are essential components for a better functional capacity at this stage of life, with improvements that encompassed the improved self-perception of their health status, a reduction of overweight and obesity. The reinforcement of these programs is recommended, consequently, promoting pre-sport games and sports championships among the elderly population, as a public health strategy.

[Experiences of health professionals with biological accidents in an Intensive Care Unit.] / Experiencias de profesionales de la salud con accidentes biológicos en una Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos.

OBJECTIVE: Health personnel are at greater risk of contracting infections related to their work within the group of workers with biological risk, and these mishaps can affect their physical and mental health. therefore, the objective of this paper was to understand the experience of health professionals in an intensive care unit (ICU) in Cali (Colombia) who suffered biological accidents. METHODS: Explanatory sequential mixed design, it was developed in two phases, the first of a descriptive quantitative type and the second of a qualitative type with a phenomenological approach. Initially the knowledge about biosafety in 40 workers was characterized through a survey and a in the first contact, five participants were chosen who shared their experiences with biological accidents, through in-depth interviews. The statistical analysis was descriptive, the quantitative variables were presented through measures of central tendency and the qualitative variables through frequency and percentage. RESULTS: 39% of the professionals knew the biosafety barriers, 35% identified the pathogenic pathways, 34% were right about the protection measures, 51% answered correctly about hand washing, 70% answered adequately about biological waste, and only 38% recognized the procedure for reporting an accident. CONCLUSIONS: A low level of knowledge is identified on issues related to biosafety principles, transmission routes, hand sanitizing agents, and procedures to follow in the event of a biohazard accident. In addition, ICUs are identified as high-risk places. biological that cause feelings of fear, anguish, and stress that are added to the long working hours.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe factors associated with prolonged ventilatory support in subjects undergoing coronary artery bypass graft. Patients and Methods: This was an analytical retrospective case-control study. Cases were defined as subjects requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation (>48 hours) following isolated coronary artery bypass graft. Subjects older than 18 years who had undergone surgery were included, while subjects with missing clinical record data, subjects in coma or subjects with prior cardiac surgery were excluded. Variables were measured at the three time points surrounding surgery. Results: A total of 204 cases and 408 controls were included. The final logistic model showed an association between prolonged mechanical ventilation and the following presurgical variables: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR 1.85; 95% CI: 1.06-3.23, p = 0.03) and chronic kidney disease (OR 1.90; 95% CI: -3.31; p = 0.02). The associated transurgical variable was the use of intra-aortic balloon pump (OR 3.63; 95% CI: 1.73-7.61, p = 0.00), and associated postsurgical variables were venous oxygen saturation <60% (OR 2.00; 95% CI: 1.18-3.40, p = 0.01), mediastinitis (OR 18.51; 95% CI: 4.06-84.40, p = 0.00), inotrope use (OR 2.82; 95% CI: 1.77-4.48, p = 0.00), pleural effusion requiring drainage (OR 3.57; 95% CI: 2.02-6.32, p = 0.00) and delirium (OR 3.45; 95% CI: 1.91-6.25, p = 0.00). Conclusion: This study identifies factors associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation in subjects subject to coronary artery bypass graft over the presurgical, transurgical and postsurgical periods, identifying a new factor, delirium, for this type of population.

Effectiveness of Interventions Based on Pain Neuroscience Education on Pain and Psychosocial Variables for Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint condition. It affects more than 300 million people worldwide, who suffer from pain and physical disability. OBJECTIVE: To determine the results of cognitive educational interventions for pain management and psychosocial variables in adults with OA. METHOD: A systematic review was conducted based on searches in MEDLINE, OVID, LILACS, Scopus, PEDro, OTseeker, The Cochrane Library, EBSCO, and Google Scholar. The search strategy included the main terms neuroscience education and osteoarthritis, without any re-strictions with regard to dates or study type (PROSPERO register CRD42021222763). RESULTS: We included four articles that implemented the intervention in 1-6 sessions, addressing concepts related to goal orientation and providing strategies for understanding pain. The results suggest that there is an improvement between the groups (PNE) when compared, but this cannot necessarily be attributed to pain neuroscience education (PNE), as small effect sizes for variables such as pain catastrophizing and kinesiophobia were observed. The response in the modulation of acute pain following the surgical procedure may produce a variation in the responses and this may be mediated by medications. CONCLUSION: The study revealed an improvement in favor of the groups managed with PNE, although more studies documenting the topic are warranted.

Relationship between Hemineglect and Pain: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials / Relación entre heminegligencia y dolor: Una revisión sistemática y metanálisis de ensayos controlados aleatorizados

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the relationship between hemineglect and pain. Methods: We conducted a systematic review with meta-analysis, examining the relationship between hemineglect and pain. The PRISMA criteria and the Covidence platform were used to select articles and extract data. Methodological quality was evaluated, a comparison was made using pain as an outcome measure, assessed with the visual analog scale (VAS). Results: Out of a total of 340 studies, 4 were selected, 2 of which made it possible to unify pain measured through VAS; the effects were summarized using standardized mean differences (SMD), yielding -0.65, with values of [-1.02, -0.29], with statistical significance. Conclusions: There is moderate evidence of the relationship between negligence and pain. Despite the fact that from the clinical care processes it is presented regularly, and even the little scientific information available, it was established that there are specific pathologies that carry negligence and pain.

Las etapas de cambio se pueden definir como los cambios de comportamiento de la conducta en las personas, la cual sigue una serie de pasos. El presente estudio buscó determinar las etapas de cambio con relación a la práctica de actividad física de un grupo de universitarios. Su enfoque fue cuantitativo, de tipo descriptivo y diseño transversal. La muestra de 193 estudiantes del programa de fisioterapia de una universidad privada de la ciudad de Cali, seleccionados por muestreo aleatorio simple, a través del software estadístico OpenEpi Versión 3.0.1. Se utilizó el cuestionario de etapas de cambio de actividad física en su forma corta. Se hizo análisis descriptivo y de correlación con algunas variables sociodemográficas mediante la prueba de Chi2. El 89,6% de los universitarios se encuentra en las tres primeras etapas de cambio, es decir, son sedentarios y un 10,31% se categorizó como físicamente activos. La variable relacionada con las etapas de cambio fue el sexo con un valor p<0.05: la mayoría de la población participante en el estudio es joven y está en riesgo de catalogarse como inactivos físicos. Se encuentra potencial en este grupo para promover hábitos saludables a través de la práctica de actividad física.

The stages of change can be defined as changes in the behavior of the conduct of the people, which follows a series of steps. The present study sought to determine the stages of change with regard to the practice of physical activity of a group of college students. Its approach was quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional design. The sample of 193 students of the physiotherapy program from a private university in the city of Cali, selected by simple random sampling, through the OpenEpi statistical software version 3.0.1. A questionnaire of stages of change of physical activity in its short form was used. Analysis was descriptive and correlation with some sociodemographic variables using the Chi-square test. 89.6% of the university students is in the first three stages of change, i.e. are sedentary and a 10.31% was categorized as physically active. The variable associated with the stages of change was the sex with a value p<0.05. The majority of the participants in the study population is young and is at risk of classified as inactive physical. There is potential in this group to promote healthy habits through the practice of physical activity.
