1/2 An Editor’s choice PAIN Journal paper from Megan McPhee at CNAP-AAU: Effects of attentional and affective manipulation on conditioned pain modulation (CPM). Distraction and positive affective states allowed for CPM effects, whereas negative affect impaired CPM!

Prepping my World Congress/Pain presentation 🤓 and my daughter sees this animation and says, “he has #pain is his back and now it’s gone”. So the colour red already signifies pain by age 2 (and ¾) it seems… 😅

Low Back Pain at #IASP2022👇. As a follow-up to IASP #GYAP2021, key experts Megan McPhee, Paul Hodges and D Walsh will join me for a TW session on pain mechanisms in LBP and the clinical utility. Looking forward seeing you on-site or virtually. iaspworldcongress2022.org/sessions/pheno…

Thursday afternoon I will present something completely new at #IASP2022 🇨🇦 – large-scale studies (N=16.000) on standardized assessment of pain sensitivity and CPM – sex/age effects. Sneak peek 👇👇. Excited to do the TW session with @rakallucas and CS Nielsen. IASP CNAP-AAU

Definitely feeling the FOMO over here as I see everybody arriving in Toronto 🍁 for World Congress/Pain. Looking forward to following the #IASP2022 virtual program and living vicariously through the twitterverse for the next week. Enjoy folks! 🤓

From 10:45-12:15, Prof T Graven-Nielsen will chair a topical workshop on phenotyping people with low back pain, where our very own post-doc Megan McPhee will present (virtually) alongside experts Prof David Walsh and Prof Paul Hodges. Join us in room 718A or online!

On the trait- and state-like features of pain sensitivity and mechanisms of pain in LBP - what a talk! 👏 #IASP2022 CNAP-AAU

Brilliant talks by everyone, what an excellent and well-planned workshop! Great that Megan McPhee can join us online for the Q/A! #IASP2022 CNAP-AAU

But what is the relevance for clinical practice? Adjust therapy approaches to the predominant pain phenotype! Great session including recent literature on this topic by Megan McPhee Paul Hodges T Graven-Nielsen and David Walsh @ #IASP2022 4/4

Thanks IASP and CNAP-AAU for the opportunity to still present at #IASP2022 despite being unable to make it to Toronto! 🙌🏻 Totally starstruck to be talking alongside Paul and David 🤩 Hope to see everyone again in person at the next congress!

Let‘s get this last day at #IASP2022 rolling! 🏎 Curious about glutamate/GABA concentrations in the periaqueductal grey of patients with chronic low back pain? 🧠 Stop by my poster Nr. 165 between 9.30 and 10.45 to have a chat about it! 💬

Reflecting on a nice CNAP-AAU annual seminar yesterday 🤓 Such a variety of exciting topics and methods all being implemented under one roof! Thanks for a great day all 👏🏻 T Graven-Nielsen Rocco Giordano, Ph.D. Brian Duborg Ebbesen Daniela M. Zolezzi Jennifer Polk, PhD (she, her) ciampi-de-andrade @Enrico78520717

A nice new PAIN Journal review from @head_like_egg shows that central sensitization questionnaires do not capture pain sensitivity test responses, but I'm left wondering if either actually measure "central sensitization"? 🤔 journals.lww.com/pain/Abstract/…

An early christmas gift this year.🎇👊 New grant from DK Frie Forsk.fond Forskningsprojekt1 on neuroplasticity and pain to Megan McPhee and @gravennielsen Danmarks Grundforskningsfond AAU SUND Dansk Forskning
