In view of its aggressive nature and unpre- dictable course, the giant cell tumor is classified by the WHO as an »intermediate grade« tumor between benign and malignant tumors. Occurrence The tumor is relatively common in adulthood, usually occurring between the ages of 20 and 40. The tumor also occurs, in rare instances, during adolescence while the epiphyseal plates are still open. In the USA the giant cell tumor accounts for 5% of all bone tumors, compared to 20% in China. Conventional tomogram of a 19-year old female patient Site, pathogenesis with hemangioma in the area of the lateral tibial condyle The typical site of the tumor is epiphyseal or epiphyseal/ metaphyseal area. If the epiphyseal plates are still open, it usually remains limited to the metaphysis. By far the most commonly affected sites are the distal femur and the proximal tibia. Less frequently, the tumor occurs in the proximal femur, distal tibia, proximal humerus and distal radius. While it can form in a vertebral body, the most commonly affected site in the spine is the sa- crum. The tumor is predominantly located in bones with the most active growth plates.

Thereaf- ter, operant treatment is described as involving several ingredients includ- ing: (a) response prevention for escape/avoidance behaviors; (b) positive and negative reinforcement (e. The psychologist, however, may play an important role in monitoring these needs. According to Fordyce (1973), medications are at first provided to pa- tients on a prescribed-as-needed (PRN) basis for 2 to 4 days to establish the medication baseline. Baseline doses are then delivered on a fixed time schedule such that if patients had previously requested medication every 5 hours, medication would be delivered instead every 4 hours. With this method, medication is not contingent on soreness and therefore does not serve as positive reinforcer for pain or pain behavior; gradually over time medication is ultimately withdrawn. The role of the psychologist in time- contingent medication is to assist with monitoring of medication prior to adjustment and then with positive reinforcement and encouragement of ad- herence to the regimen. The operant methods are applied to each overt pain and well behavior across as many different conditions as possible, and when possible the pa- tient and family are encouraged to directly apply operant conditioning methods to behavior change (Sanders, 1996). Unique to operant condition- ing, the operant treatment principles are applied by all health care provid- ers involved in care, not exclusively the psychologist (van Tulder et al. Evidence The earliest evidence in support of operant conditioning for chronic pain came, not surprisingly, from Fordyce and colleagues in the form of a case study (Fordyce, Fowler, Lehmann, & DeLateur, 1968). In their study, pain medications were provided on a time-contingent rather than PRN basis in or- der to decrease the association of pain behavior and relief. Furthermore, nursing staff withheld social reinforcement when patients displayed pain be- 274 HADJISTAVROPOULOS AND WILLIAMS haviors, and provided extensive praise when patients showed well behav- iors. Positive treatment effects were observed following the inpatient pro- gram and at 22-month follow-up, including report of increased activity level and exercise tolerance, and decreased medication usage and pain ratings. Since the time of these earliest observations, several studies have been conducted along with reviews of operant therapy that have generally been encouraging (e. In an effort to improve the practice of psychotherapy, a number of task forces have reviewed the research literature and identified empirically sup- ported treatments. Chambless and Ollendick (2001) summarized the work of these task forces and reported that operant behavior therapy for hetero- geneous chronic pain patients has category II support, meaning that there is at least one RCT supporting the treatment, showing it as superior to a control condition or an alternative treatment. Our review of this area of research generally reveals that there are few research studies that address operant conditioning directly, and those that are carried out do not often follow the prototypical approach advocated by Fordyce (1976). Although there are a number of studies that address cogni- tive-behavioral treatment, or behavioral treatment that also includes relax- ation training, randomized control studies focused exclusively on operant conditioning are rare. Furthermore, because the operant approach involves numerous components it is difficult to clarify the extent to which psycho- logical intervention is crucial versus other components such as occupa- tional therapy and physiotherapy (Turk & Flor, 1984). Commentary The lack of studies addressing operant conditioning alone is perhaps a re- flection of our own direct experiences that, in practice, in clinical settings the prototypical operant approach is rarely used. Although this observa- tion is not made explicitly in the literature, systematic attempts at assess- ment of well behaviors and illness behaviors as well as contingencies be- tween overt pain behaviors and positive and negative reinforcers are infrequent in practice. Instead, clinicians routinely assume that certain pain behaviors are positive (e. Furthermore, it is often assumed that certain contingencies are always negative (e. Evidence is emerging that even some of the appar- ently simple relationships that were previously observed between pain be- havior and spouse solicitous behavior and facilitative behavior (Romano et al.

PSYCHOLOGICAL INTERVENTIONS AND CHRONIC PAIN 275 licitous responses are predictive of pain behavior only among patients with high levels of pain and low mood. With respect to treatment protocol, in practice, we also expect that ethi- cal considerations largely prevent extensive use of response prevention for escape/avoidance behaviors. It is a mistaken belief that operant conditioning methods can be used to modify the behavior of the most resistant patients without their co- operation (Keefe & Bradley, 1984). Furthermore, although positive and neg- ative reinforcement may be used to increase supposed well behaviors and decrease pain behaviors, we question the degree to which this is employed as systematically as recommended by Fordyce (1976).
