TL;DR: There is little to no evidence that the presence or type of precipitating event was associated with patients' psychological or physical functioning, and the epidemiological evidence base for pediatric chronic pain disorders is added.

TL;DR: There is a wealth of measures available, with adequate reliability overall but a lack of psychometrics on temporal stability, and each of the cognitive, affective, and behavioral parent constructs examined was significantly associated with pain-related functional disability.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that high-quality online animated videos are a potentially excellent medium to engage youth at a mass level in pain science education and compare two collaborations between clinician-scientists and industry to create and disseminate online animated video for pain education (mysterious science of pain and tame the beast).

TL;DR: Findings support biases in both vigilance and attentional maintenance for pain-related stimuli but suggest attentional biases towards pain are ubiquitous and not related to pain status.

TL;DR: It is found that reporting pain is associated with decreasing popularity - interestingly, this effect holds for males only - and this is at least partly driven by males withdrawing from contact with females when in pain, enhancing the understanding of pain and masculinity.
