Characterization and Treatment of Chronic Pain after Traumatic Brain Injury -- Comparison of Characteristics between Individuals with Current Pain, Past Pain and No Pain: A NIDILRR and VA TBI Model Systems Collaborative Project
Authors: Harrison-Felix C, Sevigny M, Beaulieu CL, Callender L, Dams-O'Connor K, Hammond FM, Hanks R, Ketchum JM, Martin AM, Marwitz JH, Peckham M, Rabinowitz AR, Sander AM, Sterling A, Walker WC, Nakase-Richardson R, Hoffman JM
Description: In this paper, Harrison-Felix et al., explore the prevalence of chronic pain in those living with TBI and discuss implications for those experiencing chronic pain with a TBI. They conclude by making recommendations to clinicians on the importance of screening for chronic pain to better treat these patients.
Associations of Chronic Pain with Psychosocial Outcomes after Traumatic Brain Injury: A NIDILRR and VA TBI Model Systems Collaborative Project
Authors: Hanks R, Ketchum JM, Peckham M, Sevigny M, Sander AM, Martin AM, Agtarap S, Beaulieu CL, Callender L, Hammond FM, Legenfelder J, Rabinowitz AR, Walker WC, Hoffman JM, Harrison-Felix C, Nakase-Richardson R
Description: Hanks et al., examine relationships between chronic pain and participation, life satisfaction, and psychosocial outcomes among those living with TBI. They describe how pain may make individuals with TBI at greater risk for poor psychosocial outcomes like PTSD, depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbance.
Characterizing Extreme Phenotypes for Pain Interference in Persons with Chronic Pain following Traumatic Brain Injury: A NIDILRR and VA TBI Model Systems Collaborative Project
Authors: Hoffman JM, Ketchum JM, Agtarap S, Dams-O'Connor K, Hammond FM, Martin AM, Sevigny M, Walker WC, Harrison-Felix C, Zafonte R, Nakase-Richardson R
Description: In this paper, Hoffman et al., characterize the extreme phenotypes of pain interference for those living with chronic pain and TBI. In other words, they explore outcomes related to those who are living with chronic pain and have either very high or very low pain interference.
Characterizing Extreme Phenotypes for Perceived Improvement from Treatment in Persons with Chronic Pain following Traumatic Brain Injury: A NIDILRR and VA TBI Model Systems Collaborative Project
Authors: Hoffman JM, Ketchum JM, Agtarap S, Dams-O'Connor K, Hammond FM, Martin AM, Sevigny M, Walker WC, Harrison-Felix C, Zafonte R, Nakase-Richardson R
Description: Hoffman et al., further explore extreme phenotypes by looking at those with chronic pain and TBI who either experience either low or high perceived improvement. They provide insights into the impacts of different treatments and how they may be individualized for patients with chronic pain.
Relationship between Extreme Pain Phenotypes and Psychosocial Outcomes in Persons with Chronic Pain following Traumatic Brain Injury: A NIDILRR and VA TBI Model Systems Collaborative Project
Authors: Ketchum JM, Hoffman JM, Agtarap S, Hammond FM, Martin AM, Walker WC, Zafonte R, Harrison-Felix C, Nakase-Richardson R
Description: Ketchum et al., explore how the extreme phenotypes in the previous papers relate to psychosocial outcomes such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety. The authors make recommendations for how research can continue to evolve treatments to help those experiencing chronic pain after TBI.
Provider Perceived Facilitators and Barriers to Identifying, Perceiving, and Seeking Healthcare for Chronic Pain after TBI: A NIDILRR and VA TBI Model Systems Collaborative Project
Authors: Nakase-Richardson R, Cotner BA, Agtarap SD, Martin AM Ching D, O’Connor DR, Tweed A, Haun JN, Hanks RA, Bergquist TF, Hammond FM, Zafonte RD, Hoffman JM
Description: In this paper, Nakase-Richardson et al., describe the perceived facilitators and barriers to identifying and finding healthcare for those living with chronic pain and TBI based on data collected from a national provider cohort who completed qualitative interviews.
Provider Perspectives of Facilitators and Barriers to Reaching and Utilizing Chronic Pain Healthcare for Persons with Traumatic Brain Injury: A NIDILRR and VA TBI Model Systems Collaborative Project
Authors: Nakase-Richardson R, Cotner BA, Martin AM, Agtarap SD, Tweed A, Esterov D, O’Connor DR, Ching D, Haun JN, Hanks RA, Bergquist TF, Hammond FM, Zafonte RD, Hoffman JM
Description: Nakase-Richardson et al., continue to explore provider reported barriers to reaching and utilizing healthcare by those who have chronic pain after a TBI. The authors explore determinants at both the provider and system level, and discuss implications for interventions to improve access to care.
Identifying implementation strategies to overcome barriers to delivering chronic pain treatments: A NIDILRR and VA TBI Model Systems Collaborative Project
Authors: Haun JN, Nakase-Richardson R, Cotner BA, Agtarap SD, Martin AM, Tweed A, Hanks RA, Wittine L, Bergquist TF, Hoffman JM
Description: Following the two papers describing provider perspectives; Haun et al., engaged stakeholders to identify implementation strategies to overcome the described barriers in accessing care for chronic pain.
What are the predictors for and psychosocial correlates of Chronic Headache after Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury?
Authors: Walker WC, Perera RA, Hammond FM, Zafonte R, Katta-Charles S, Walker KA, Hoffman JM
Description: In this paper, Walker et al., explore the predictors and correlates of persistent chronic headaches in those living with TBI.
The Interaction of Opiate Misuse and Marijuana Use on Behavioral Health Outcomes using the Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems Pain Collaborative Dataset
Authors: Callender L, Lai T, Driver S, Katchum JM, Ochoa C, Corrigan JD, Hammond FM, Harrison-Felix C, Martin AM, Rabinowitz AR, Starosta AJ, Dubiel R
Description: Callender et al., compare marijuana and opioid use and how they relate to behavioral health outcomes in those living with TBI.
