面对众多优质文章在 Frontiers 的不断发表，而你可能由于种种原因错过了。为此，“主编荐读” 集合了 Frontiers 众多期刊近期发表的优质文章，由各期刊编委汇总选送。

本期由目前担任 Frontiers in Pain Research (IF: 2.5 | CiteScore: 2.1) 期刊 Geriatric Pain 栏目主编的 Cary Reid 教授，对近期发表在该栏目下的部分文章进行了推荐及点评，欢迎阅读。

Dr. Cary Reid, Specialty Chief Editor for Geriatric Pain section and a superhero for seniors! By day, he tackles aches and pains in aging patients and as a Geriatric’s professor at Weill Cornell Medical College he mentors the next generation of researchers dedicated to the study of later-life pain. He is armed with a wealth of knowledge and distinguished by his appointment as the Irving Sherwood Wright Professor. His groundbreaking research is further evidenced by a prestigious Robert Wood Johnson Generalist Physician Scholar Award as well as a highly coveted Paul Beeson Faculty Scholar on Aging Research Award. 

Currently Dr. Reid is conducting two clinical trials. One involves the use of an emotion regulation therapy as a means of reducing pain in older adults while the 2nd is testing a transcranial direct current stimulation device to mitigate pain in patients receiving long-term hemodialysis. 

Vision for the Geriatric Pain section:   

Dr. Reid envisions growing the Geriatric Pain section into a sought-after platform for publishing high-impact, groundbreaking articles that significantly advance the care of aging adults negatively impacted by pain. By fostering innovative research and encouraging critical discussions, this section aims to become the go-to resource for clinicians, researchers, and policymakers dedicated to improving pain management and quality of life for elderly patients. Dr. Reid's commitment is to ensure that every publication within this section contributes meaningfully to the field, driving forward evidence-based practices and transformative solutions for geriatric pain care. 

Exploring the relationship between gratitude and depression among older adults with chronic low back pain: a sequential mediation analysis

主编导读：尽管已有众多研究表明积极情绪可以对老年人的疼痛和疼痛相关结果产生积极影响，但这些关联背后的机制仍不清楚。本文旨在探讨在患有慢性腰背痛的老年人群体中，感恩情绪与幸福感之间关联的潜在机制。

研究结果表明，感知压力和睡眠障碍在感恩情绪与抑郁症状之间起中介作用。提升感恩情绪有助于降低压力水平和提高睡眠效率，从而改善心理健康。这些发现支持在患有慢性腰背痛的老年人群体中加强积极情绪（如感恩情绪）的干预措施。

Successes and lessons learned from a mobile health behavior intervention to reduce pain and improve health in older adults with obesity and chronic pain: a qualitative study 

主编导读：在疼痛研究领域，采用移动健康干预措施的研究数量正在激增，其目标是利用传感器和移动应用程序等新技术来改进对不同疼痛人群的测量和管理。本研究分析了 14 名参与者的定性数据，这些参与者参加了一项为期 12 周的随机对照试验，该试验旨在检验 “减少疼痛和改善健康的移动干预”（MORPH）的可行性和初步疗效。

研究人员确定了干预措施的关键方面，这些方面被认为是该项目获益的基础，并确定了参与者在使用干预措施的几个方面所面临的挑战。这些发现可以帮助有志为患有慢性疼痛的老年人设计移动应用干预措施的研究人员。

Promoting successful participation of people living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in pain-related neuroimaging research studies 

主编导读：为了确保我们对老年人疼痛理解的持续进展，需要采用有效的招募和保留方法，以便让老年人参与到包括神经影像学研究在内的各种研究中。本综述重点介绍了在尝试招募弱势群体（即患有阿尔茨海默病或相关痴呆症的患者）参与疼痛相关神经影像学研究时遇到的若干挑战。

作者指出了一些重要障碍（例如，缺乏社区参与、确定同意能力方面的问题），并针对如何克服每个障碍提供了切实可行的解决方案。在未来对患有合并症疼痛和阿尔茨海默病及相关痴呆症的老年人进行神经影像学研究时，采用建议的策略可能会带来很大益处。
