perceived physical and Emotional Trauma as precipitating events in fibromyalgia associations with health care seeking and disability status but not pain severity
Arthritis & Rheumatism, 1997Co-Authors: Leslie A Aaron, Laurence A Bradley, Graciela S Alarcon, Mireya Trianaalexander, Ronald W Alexander, Michelle Y Martin, Kristin R AlbertsAbstract:Objective. We examined relationships between perceived physical and Emotional Trauma that occur prior to, or that initiate, pain onset and health care seeking for fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). We also assessed associations between perceived Trauma and levels of health care usage, symptom severity, functional disability, and receipt of disability compensation among patients with FMS. Methods. We evaluated these variables using interviews and standardized instruments in a consecutive series of FMS patients and community residents who met the American College of Rheumatology criteria for FMS but had not sought medical care (“nonpatients”). Results. Emotional Trauma was associated with status as an FMS patient independently of demographics, physical Trauma, and sexual/physical abuse (P = 0.007). Among patients, Emotional Trauma was related to a high number of physician visits (P = 0.013), functional disability ratings (P = 0.012), and fatigue (P = 0.029), but physical Trauma was associated with receipt of disability compensation (P = 0.019). Trauma history was not related to pain severity or pain thresholds. Conclusion. Perception of physical Trauma is a greater determinant of disability compensation for FMS than is perceived Emotional Trauma, symptom severity, or functional disability. Effort should be devoted to understanding the social and legal factors underlying this observation, as well as to reducing high health care usage among FMS patients with Emotional Trauma.

chronic pain following physical and Emotional Trauma the station nightclub fire
Frontiers in Neurology, 2014Co-Authors: Rachel Egyhazi, Jeffrey C Schneider, Nhiha T Trinh, Felipe Fregni, Colleen M Ryan, Gabriela BravoAbstract:Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate factors associated with chronic pain in survivors of a large fire, including those with and without burn injury. Methods:This study employed a survey-based cross-sectional design to evaluate data from survivors of The Station nightclub fire. The primary outcome measure was the presence and severity of pain. Multiple linear regressions with a stepwise approach were used to examine relationships among variables. Variables considered included age, gender, marital status, burn injury, total body surface area, skin graft, pre-morbid employment, time off work, return to same employment, depression (Beck depression inventory, BDI), and post-Traumatic stress (impact of event scale ‐ revised). Results: Of 104 fire survivors, 27% reported pain at least 28 months after the event. Multiple factors associated with pain were assessed in the univariate analysis but only age (pD 0.012), graft (pD 0.009), and BDI score (p < 0.001) were significantly associated with pain in the multiple regression model. Discussion: A significant number of fire survivors with and without burn injuries experienced chronic pain. Depth of burn and depression were significantly associated with pain outcome. Pain management should address both physical and Emotional risk factors in this population.

the long term impact of physical and Emotional Trauma the station nightclub fire
PLOS ONE, 2012Co-Authors: Jeffrey C Schneider, Nhiha T Trinh, Elizabeth A Selleck, Felipe Fregni, Sara S Salles, Colleen M Ryan, Joel SteinAbstract:Background Survivors of physical and Emotional Trauma experience enduring occupational, psychological and quality of life impairments. Examining survivors from a large fire provides a unique opportunity to distinguish the impact of physical and Emotional Trauma on long-term outcomes. The objective is to detail the multi-dimensional long-term effects of a large fire on its survivor population and assess differences in outcomes between survivors with and without physical injury.
