Abstract: 

Study examined the beliefs and perceptions of people with stroke who experience chronic pain and compare these to a non-stroke population with chronic pain. A total of 223 participants (106 with stroke and 117 non-stroke) with chronic pain completed an online survey of the Pain Beliefs and Perceptions Inventory. Pain beliefs and perceptions, including perceived causes of pain, were compared across the two groups. The stroke group reported significantly higher pain intensities than the non-stroke group. In addition, they identified the stroke as the primary cause of their pain, whereas the non-stroke group identified a body injury as the primary cause. When compared to the non-stroke group, people with stroke were more likely to report their pain as being constant, demonstrate a lack of understanding regarding cause(s) of their pain, believe less that their actions contribute to their pain, and have greater belief that their pain is permanent. These findings emphasize differences in the beliefs and perceptions associated with pain after stroke, supporting the value of targeted attention from research and therapy perspectives. Significant differences in the pain experienced by stroke and non-stroke groups may reflect a poor understanding of chronic pain following stroke. Future educational programs for stroke survivors should be tailored. (Wrong, wrong, wrong, SOLVE THE PAIN PROBLEM YOU FUCKING IDIOTS, It is not going away thru education.)Targets for future educational interventions are identified and include causes of pain, an understanding of its behavior and potential for improved prognosis.
