A secondary purpose was to compare athletes’ neuropathic pain symptoms when measured by two different clinical pain assessment tools and describe their experiences when trying to communicate their neuropathic pain.Methods 47 athletes with SCI completed the International Spinal Cord Injury Pain Basic Data Set (V.2.0), Douleur Neuropathique 4 (DN4), and two open-ended pain questions over the telephone.Results 66% of participants reported experiencing moderate-intensity neuropathic pain (M pain intensity=5.32±1.78) and mild-to-moderate pain interference with activities of daily living (Mpain interference=3.55±2.11) and sleep (Mpain interference4.68±2.92). Overall, participants reported significantly more neuropathic pain symptoms in response to DN4 questions (M=4.62±1.38) versus open-ended pain questions (M=2.13±1.08), p<0.001. Participants reported difficulty with identifying neuropathic pain, describing their pain symptoms and identifying pain locations.Conclusion Athletes with SCI reported moderate-intensity neuropathic pain. However, they struggled with communicating their neuropathic pain without being prompted with a list of symptoms.

misinterpreted as tissue damage resulting from sport. While researchers have started to examine neuropathic pain among athletes with spinal cord injury (SCI), there is a need to develop a deeper understanding of their neuropathic pain symptoms and experiences, to support the development of evidence-based pain management protocols.</p></div><div id="sec-2" class="subsection"><p id="p-3"><strong>Objectives</strong> The primary purpose of this study was to describe neuropathic pain experienced by athletes with SCI. A secondary purpose was to compare athletes’ neuropathic pain symptoms when measured by two different clinical pain assessment tools and describe their experiences when trying to communicate their neuropathic pain.</p></div><div id="sec-3" class="subsection"><p id="p-4"><strong>Methods</strong> 47 athletes with SCI completed the International Spinal Cord Injury Pain Basic Data Set (V.2.0), Douleur Neuropathique 4 (DN4), and two open-ended pain questions over the telephone.</p></div><div id="sec-4" class="subsection"><p id="p-5"><strong>Results</strong> 66% of participants reported experiencing moderate-intensity neuropathic pain (M<sub>pain intensity</sub>=5.32±1.78) and mild-to-moderate pain interference with activities of daily living (M<sub>pain interference</sub>=3.55±2.11) and sleep (M<sub>pain interference</sub>4.68±2.92). Overall, participants reported significantly more neuropathic pain symptoms in response to DN4 questions (M=4.62±1.38) versus open-ended pain questions (M=2.13±1.08), p<0.001. Participants reported difficulty with identifying neuropathic pain, describing their pain symptoms and identifying pain locations.</p></div><div id="sec-5" class="subsection"><p id="p-6"><strong>Conclusion</strong> Athletes with SCI reported moderate-intensity neuropathic pain. However, they struggled with communicating their neuropathic pain without being prompted with a list of symptoms.

Understanding the root cause of pain is essential for effective management. In 2017, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) issued a consensus statement on pain management in elite athletes, emphasising the importance of an individualised approach to address pain while optimising performance and ensuring athlete well-being.<a id="xref-ref-3-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-3">3</a> Furthermore, the need for assessing and monitoring pain—in addition to injuries—was highlighted. The negative impact of chronic pain on rehabilitation outcomes, performance and functional independence underscores the need to develop a better understanding of chronic pain experiences among athletes.</p><p id="p-11">Pain research among athletes has primarily focused on musculoskeletal pain, including its aetiology, risk factors, prevention strategies and treatment modalities.<a id="xref-ref-1-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-1">1</a> Limited research has investigated neuropathic pain among athletes, despite its significant potential to impede an athlete’s ability to train and compete at their full potential. Neuropathic pain is defined as a disease or lesion of the somatosensory nervous system<a id="xref-ref-4-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-4">4</a> and is characterised by symptoms such as burning, tingling and shooting pain.<a id="xref-ref-5-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-5">5</a> Anecdotally, not everyone diagnosed with neuropathic pain describes it as ‘painful’, some describe it as an uncomfortable or disturbing sensation. Proper identification and management of neuropathic pain are critical, given its debilitating nature and likelihood of becoming refractory to treatment.<a id="xref-ref-6-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-6">6</a> Therefore, pain specialists working with athletes (e.g., sports medicine physicians and therapists) must be trained in identifying signs and symptoms of neuropathic pain and be skilled in interpreting patient descriptions and examination findings.</p><p id="p-12">Neuropathic pain may be particularly prevalent and problematic for athletes with SCIs. Approximately 58% of persons with SCI report neuropathic pain, and it is often cited as the most severe type of pain in this population.<a id="xref-ref-7-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-7">7</a> While the prevalence of neuropathic pain among athletes with SCI is not clear, research indicates that athletes with disabilities experience nociceptive pain at rates higher than their able-bodied counterparts due to increased biomechanical stress, secondary complications from their disability and rigorous training regimens.<a id="xref-ref-8-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-8">8 9</a> It is likely that the prevalence of neuropathic pain among athletes with SCI is also even greater than the prevalence in the general SCI population.</p><p id="p-13">The IOC consensus statement on pain management noted that data on pain management among Paralympians and athletes with a disability is limited.<a id="xref-ref-3-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-3">3</a> In response, the need for researchers to thoroughly investigate neuropathic pain among athletes and understand the methods of screening, diagnosis, evaluation and treatments was identified.<a id="xref-ref-9-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-9">9</a> While researchers have started to examine neuropathic pain among athletes with SCI,<a id="xref-ref-8-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-8">8 10</a> there is a critical need to obtain a deeper understanding of neuropathic pain symptoms and experiences among athletes with SCI, to support the development of evidence-based pain management protocols.</p><p id="p-14">To the best of our knowledge, no published study has comprehensively assessed neuropathic pain among athletes with SCI.

Our author group includes mixed genders (three women, one man), ages and professional backgrounds. One current member of Team Canada’s Paralympic wheelchair rugby team who has SCI neuropathic pain and an executive director of a provincial wheelchair sports association were involved as research partners for the primary analysis of this study.<a id="xref-ref-10-3" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-10">10</a> Furthermore, our Paralympic athlete partner supported this study by acting as a pilot participant and completed the entire study procedure. Changes were made to an open-ended pain question after the pilot testing.</p></div><div id="sec-14" class="subsection"><h3>Measures</h3><div id="sec-15" class="subsection"><h4>Neuropathic pain</h4><p id="p-20">Two measures were used to understand how neuropathic pain is experienced and described by athletes with SCI. First, information on neuropathic pain intensity and interference of participants’ top three pain problems were collected using the International Spinal Cord Injury Pain Basic Data Set (ISCIPBDS) V.2.040.<a id="xref-ref-12-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-12">12</a> Intensity and interference are both measured on 10-point numerical rating scales (0=no pain/no interference, 10=pain as bad as you can imagine/extreme interference). Additionally, the ISCIPBDS captures whether participants are currently using treatment for neuropathic pain management. Although the ISCIPBDS can be used to collect information about neuropathic, nociceptive and visceral types of pain, participants were instructed to only discuss neuropathic pain problems in this study.</p><p id="p-21">The ISCIPBDS is the internationally recommended method for collecting clinically relevant pain data from persons with SCI<a id="xref-ref-12-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-12">12</a> but it does not capture detailed neuropathic pain symptoms (i.e., what neuropathic pain feels like). The research team developed two additional open-ended questions to gather additional pain symptom information: (1) <em>Can you please tell me about your neuropathic pain symptoms?</em> and (2) <em>Can you describe your experiences with neuropathic pain (e.g., patterns, or what influences your pain)?</em> These additional open-ended questions assisted the research team with understanding how athletes with SCI communicate their neuropathic pain without being prompted with a list of symptoms.</p><p id="p-22">To corroborate the presence of neuropathic pain, the Douleur Neuropathique 4 (DN4) was also administered. The DN4 is a diagnostic tool for identifying if pain has a neuropathic component.<a id="xref-ref-13-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-13">13</a> This symptom-based approach (rather than open-ended) includes seven questions about pain symptoms (eg, ‘tingling’, ‘itching’) and three questions to determine hypoesthesia or allodynia. Each question requires a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer (yes=1, no=0). Total DN4 Score is calculated as the sum of the 10 items. Scores on the DN4 can range from 0 to 10, with scores of ≥4 indicating that pain has a neuropathic component. The DN4 has demonstrated acceptable psychometrics among persons with SCI.<a id="xref-ref-14-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-14">14</a></p></div></div><div id="sec-16" class="subsection"><h3>Procedure</h3><p id="p-23">Detailed study information and informed consent forms were emailed to eligible volunteers. After providing informed consent, participants were scheduled for a telephone call with KT. During the phone call, the author administered the ISCIPBDS, followed by the two open-ended questions about pain symptoms, then the DN4. Self-reported minutes per week of physical activity were collected using the Leisure Time Physical Activity Questionnaire (LTPAQ-SCI) for people with SCI.<a id="xref-ref-15-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-15">15</a> Afterwards, participants were sent a personalised link to complete the remaining questionnaires (e.g., demographic and injury information) online, by themselves, using the REDCAP survey platform.

The total number of symptoms/adjectives reported during the open-ended question was calculated. A paired samples t-test was computed to compare total number of neuropathic pain symptoms reported during the open-ended question versus in response to the DN4 items.

This study is also the first to identify the challenges that athletes with SCI experience when communicating their neuropathic pain. On average, participants reported moderate-intensity neuropathic pain and mild-to-moderate pain interference with activities of daily living, mood and sleep. Participants reported challenges associated with classifying their symptoms as neuropathic pain and had difficulty describing their neuropathic pain symptoms and locations.</p><p id="p-51">Research evidence suggests that neuropathic pain greatly interferes with activities of daily living, mood and sleep among persons with SCI.<a id="xref-ref-20-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-20">20–22</a> However, pain interference scores for our sample of athletes with SCI were lower than those reported in previous studies of the general SCI population.<a id="xref-ref-21-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-21">21–23</a> These data align with recent research, whereby athletes with SCI reported lower musculoskeletal pain interference than non-athletes.<a id="xref-ref-9-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-9">9</a> Sport and other types of physical activity can improve sleep and mood and may be a valuable pain distraction tool.<a id="xref-ref-24-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-24">24–27</a> Distracting oneself from neuropathic pain often results in a change of focus to other tasks and lower perceived pain intensity. The relatively low pain interference scores in the present study may have been the result of the influence of physical activity and sport on mood (e.g., reduced depressive symptoms, increased levels of serotonin<a id="xref-ref-28-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-28">28</a>) or distraction effects from routinely engaging in large volumes of physical activity.</p><p id="p-52">This study also provided new information on challenges experienced by athletes with SCI in communicating their neuropathic pain. Athletes often have greater bodily awareness compared with the inactive population<a id="xref-ref-29-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-29">29</a> and are better at identifying painful sensations.<a id="xref-ref-30-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-30">30</a> However, athletes with SCI in this study had difficulty describing their neuropathic pain symptoms. This finding is consistent with qualitative data from a sample of men with SCI, who shared their memories of pain experienced during the initial acute phase of rehabilitation after incurring their SCI.<a id="xref-ref-31-1" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-31">31</a> The men found it very difficult, if not impossible, to articulate their pain experiences. The study authors suggested there may be insufficient words available to describe such pain. Our finding that participants reported more pain symptoms when presented with a list of symptoms/descriptors on the DN4 questionnaire,<a id="xref-ref-13-2" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-13">13</a> than in response to an interview question, suggests that the DN4 provides language for pain symptoms that are not easily articulated. In addition, participants’ ambiguous understanding of their symptoms as indicators of neuropathic pain suggests that athletes with SCI lack a basic understanding of what neuropathic pain is and what it feels like. The impaired sensation or total loss of sensation that typically results from an SCI can make the symptoms especially difficult to identify, locate and interpret.</p><div id="sec-30" class="subsection"><h3>Scientific and clinical implications</h3><p id="p-53">Our findings have important clinical and scientific implications. Athletes with SCI reported moderate-intensity neuropathic pain but found it difficult to communicate their neuropathic pain without being prompted with a list of symptoms. To best support neuropathic pain diagnosis and initiation of pain treatment, sports medicine clinicians and trainers should administer a variety of standardised assessment tools, including symptom-based questionnaires like the DN4.<a id="xref-ref-13-3" class="xref-bibr" href="#ref-13">13</a> Validated neuropathic pain monitoring tools are yet to be developed; therefore, a more thorough understanding of neuropathic pain symptoms among SCI sports medicine clinicians and parasport personnel may guide early pain management decisions when athletes are forced to abstain from sport participation or are slower than expected in their return to play. Future research should focus on generating knowledge products to support sports medicine clinicians and trainers in becoming familiar with language used by athletes with SCI when communicating their neuropathic pain.</p></div><div id="sec-31" class="subsection"><h3>Limitations</h3><p id="p-54">Our study has limitations. First, this study included athletes who participated in various levels of sport (e.g., club, provincial, national, international). Athletes competing at higher levels of sport may have had multiple comorbidities (e.g., overuse injuries or musculoskeletal pain) that confounded their neuropathic pain reports. Second, we did not collect information on participants’ duration or location of SCI rehabilitation. Participants who remained in rehabilitation for shorter durations or at non-specialist SCI hospitals may have received minimal pain education which may have influenced their ability to communicate their pain. While an international sample is a strength of this study, because we sampled participants from across the world, quality of pain education likely varied. Third, this study was not statistically powered to test for differences in neuropathic pain experiences across participant subgroups (e.g., gender, sex, injury level, use of medication). Finally, while the most clinically reliable and sensitive tools were used to diagnose the presence of neuropathic pain, it is possible that participants may have been communicating about other types of pain (eg, nociceptive), rather than neuropathic.</p></div></section><button data-testid="back-to-top-button" class="visible-link text-bmj-blue-600 hover:text-bmj-blue-700 focus-visible:border-bmj-silver-500 mt-[16px] rounded-md focus-visible:border-[1px] focus-visible:outline-none">Back to top</button></div><div class="article-body-sections wrap-urls md:[&_h2]:text-[2.125rem]" data-testid="article-body-section"><section id="sec-32"><h2 class="">Conclusion</h2><p id="p-55">Effective neuropathic pain management among athletes with SCI is essential not only for alleviating discomfort but also for facilitating sport participation and promoting overall well-being. Differentiating neuropathic from nociceptive pain among athletes with SCI is of utmost importance, given that nociceptive pain is more likely to be aggravated by high levels of physical activity. Increased awareness of neuropathic pain symptoms among athletes with SCI and sports medicine physicians can delineate chronic pain from injury and drive further research into innovative treatment approaches and management strategies. Therefore, it is recommended that SCI–neuropathic pain education be improved across parasport organisations, and sports medicine physicians and parasport personnel be encouraged to administer multiple types of neuropathic pain assessments. Obtaining a comprehensive understanding of neuropathic pain among athletes with SCI is foundational to optimal pain management.</p></section><button data-testid="back-to-top-button" class="visible-link text-bmj-blue-600 hover:text-bmj-blue-700 focus-visible:border-bmj-silver-500 mt-[16px] rounded-md focus-visible:border-[1px] focus-visible:outline-none">Back to top</button></div><section class="article-body-sections order-2 mb-0"><section id="fn-group-1" class="!mt-0"><div class="wrap-urls accordion-wrapper border-bmj-silver-50 border-t"><button type="button" tabindex="0" class="text-bmj-blue-800 my-[24px] flex w-full items-center justify-between text-left text-[28px] font-normal leading-10 md:text-[34px]" data-testid="accordion-toggle-button"><span data-testid="accordion-title">Footnotes</span><img class="m-0" src="/next-resources/AccordionArrowDown.svg" alt="Open accordion" /></button><div class="mt-2 pb-[24px] hidden" data-testid="accordion-content"><div data-testid="article-footnotes"><div data-testid="footnotes"><div class="[&_p]:text-bmj-silver-800 list-none[&_ul]:m-0 m-0 [&_ul]:list-none [&_ul]:p-0" data-testid="footnotes-contents"><div><html><head><script> window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; function parseCookies() { let cookieHeader = document.cookie || ""; let cookies = Object.fromEntries( cookieHeader.split("; ").map((c) => c.split("=")) ); for (let key in cookies) { if (cookies[key] === "undefined") { cookies[key] = undefined; } } return cookies; } function uuidv4() { var d = new Date().getTime(); //Timestamp var d2 = (typeof performance !== "undefined" && performance.now && performance.now() * 1000) || 0; //Time in microseconds since page-load or 0 if unsupported return "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx".replace(/[xy]/g, function (c) { var r = Math.random() * 16; //random number between 0 and 16 if (d > 0) { //Use timestamp until depleted r = (d + r) % 16 | 0; d = Math.floor(d / 16); } else { //Use microseconds since page-load if supported r = (d2 + r) % 16 | 0; d2 = Math.floor(d2 / 16); } return (c === "x" ? r : (r & 0x3) | 0x8).toString(16); }); } function handleCookie() { let cookies = parseCookies(); let bmj_uuid = cookies.bmj_uuid; if (!bmj_uuid) { bmj_uuid = uuidv4(); cookies.bmj_uuid = bmj_uuid; } return { bmj_uuid }; } let { bmj_uuid } = handleCookie(); let bmj_ppid = parseCookies().bmj_ppid; const anonMailId = "e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855"; let nonAnonMailId = window.dataLayer.find((item) => item.user)?.user?.mail === anonMailId ? null : window.dataLayer.find((item) => item.user)?.user?.mail; let userId = dataLayer.find((item) => item.user)?.user?.["data-ics"] ??

Chronic pain among athletes is often misinterpreted as tissue damage resulting from sport. While researchers have started to examine neuropathic pain among athletes with spinal cord injury (SCI), there is a need to develop a deeper understanding of their neuropathic pain symptoms and experiences, to support the development of evidence-based pain management protocols.Objectives The primary purpose of this study was to describe neuropathic pain experienced by athletes with SCI. A secondary purpose was to compare athletes’ neuropathic pain symptoms when measured by two different clinical pain assessment tools and describe their experiences when trying to communicate their neuropathic pain.Methods 47 athletes with SCI completed the International Spinal Cord Injury Pain Basic Data Set (V.2.0), Douleur Neuropathique 4 (DN4), and two open-ended pain questions over the telephone.Results 66% of participants reported experiencing moderate-intensity neuropathic pain (M pain intensity=5.32±1.78) and mild-to-moderate pain interference with activities of daily living (Mpain interference=3.55±2.11) and sleep (Mpain interference4.68±2.92). Overall, participants reported significantly more neuropathic pain symptoms in response to DN4 questions (M=4.62±1.38) versus open-ended pain questions (M=2.13±1.08), p\u003c0.001. Participants reported difficulty with identifying neuropathic pain, describing their pain symptoms and identifying pain locations.Conclusion Athletes with SCI reported moderate-intensity neuropathic pain. However, they struggled with communicating their neuropathic pain without being prompted with a list of symptoms. To guide the development of effective pain management strategies among athletes with SCI, future research should focus on developing knowledge products to improve awareness of common neuropathic pain descriptors among athletes with SCI and sports medicine personnel.\",\"datePublished\":\"2024-08-03\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@type\":\"PublicationIssue\",\"issueNumber\":\"3\",\"pagination\":\"e001828\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@type\":\"PublicationVolume\",\"volumeNumber\":\"10\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@type\":\"Periodical\",\"name\":\"BMJ Open Sport \u0026 Exercise Medicine\"}}},\"url\":\"https://bmjopensem.bmj.com/content/10/3/e001828\",\"description\":\"WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ON THIS TOPIC Neuropathic pain has been reported to be the most severe type of pain among the general spinal cord injury (SCI) population.\"}"])</script><script>self.__next_f.push([1,"1c:{\"id\":\"bmjosem\",\"title\":\"“I don’t know the correct way to describe it”: neuropathic pain experiences among athletes with spinal cord injury\",\"licenseUrl\":\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/\",\"accessType\":\"open-access\",\"isOpenAccess\":\"true\",\"publicationDateTimestamp\":\"2024-08-03\",\"authorList\":\"Kendra Todd, John Kramer, Kenedy Olsen, Kathleen Martin Ginis\",\"volume\":\"10\",\"issue\":\"3\",\"firstPage\":\"\",\"lastPage\":\"\"}\n1d:{\"title\":\"“I don’t know the correct way to describe it”: neuropathic pain experiences among athletes with spinal cord injury\",\"authorDisplay\":\"Kendra Todd, John Kramer, Kenedy Olsen, Kathleen Martin Ginis\",\"elocationId\":\"e001828\",\"journalName\":\"BMJ Open Sport \u0026 Exercise Medicine\",\"publicationYear\":\"2024\",\"volume\":\"10\"}\n1e:{\"title\":\"“I don’t know the correct way to describe it”: neuropathic pain experiences among athletes with spinal cord injury\",\"articleUrl\":\"https://bmjopensem.bmj.com/content/10/3/e001828\"}\n20:[[\"School of Health and Exercise Sciences, The University of British Columbia, Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada\",1],[\" International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries, The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada\",2],[\"International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries, The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada\",3],[\" Department of Anesthesiology, Pharmacology, and Therapeutics, The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada\",4],[\" Department of Medicine, The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada\",5],[\" Centre for Chronic Disease Prevention and Management, University of British Columbia, Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada\",6]]\n24:T482,The majority of participants were men (68%), had paraplegia (55%), experienced a traumatic SCI (94%) and had neurologically incomplete injuries (64%).

As per the LTPAQ-SCI, mild-intensity physical activity was defined as “activity requiring very light physical effort […]. It makes you feel like you are working a little bit, but you can keep doing them for a long time without getting tired.” Moderate-intensity physical activity was defined as “activity requiring some physical effort […]. It makes you feel like you are working somewhat hard, but you can keep doing it for awhile without getting tired.” Heavy-intensity physical activity was defined as “activity requiring a lot of physical effort[…]. It makes you feel like you are working really hard, almost at your maximum. You cannot do these activities for very long without getting tired. These activities may be exhausting.”26:T4d7,Our study has limitations. First, this study included athletes who participated in various levels of sport (e.g., club, provincial, national, international). Athletes competing at higher levels of sport may have had multiple comorbidities (e.g., overuse injuries or musculoskeletal pain) that confounded their neuropathic pain reports. Second, we did not collect information on participants’ duration or location of SCI rehabilitation. Participants who remained in rehabilitation for shorter durations or at non-specialist SCI hospitals may have received minimal pain education which may have influenced their ability to communicate their pain. While an international sample is a strength of this study, because we sampled participants from across the world, quality of pain education likely varied. Third, this study was not statistically powered to test for differences in neuropathic pain experiences across participant subgroups (e.g., gender, sex, injury level, use of medication). Finally, while the most clinically reliable and sensitive tools were used to diagnose the presence of neuropathic pain, it is possible that participants may have been communicating about other types of pain (eg, nociceptive"])</script><script>self.__next_f.push([1,"), rather than neuropathic.28:T92f,"])</script><script>self.__next_f.push([1,"\u003chtml\u003e\u003chead\u003e\u003c/head\u003e\u003cbody\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"section fn-group\" id=\"fn-group-1\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli class=\"fn-other\" id=\"fn-3\"\u003e\u003cp id=\"p-57\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fn-label font-bold\"\u003eContributors:\u003c/span\u003e All authors contributed substantially to the development of this article.
