What is your interpretation of that? Are we as good as computers or bad at programming computers to make predictions for us?

Critical stages for digital health research: development, feasibility, effectiveness/efficacy, and implementation. Helen Slater IASP

Amazing presentation by Helen Slater at World Congress/Pain ‘Listen to me - Learn from me’ The importance for researchers and clinicians listening to and learn from people living with pain.

Social approaches can prevent socially-induced nocebo hyperalgesia, but probably not with only simple verbal suggestions Prof Ben Colagiuri IASP

We need to do better... telling is not "educating" and even people who learn something new don't automatically change their behavior

Pain education combined with other interventions is effective and has become common in clinical practice. If you want to optimise it, I invite you to read the 'Why might FEARS and WORRIES persist after a Pain Education-grounded intervention?' Accepted for publication IASP

Congratulations Prof Ben Colagiuri! What a prize!

People with LBP seek advice from friends and family who previously suffered from back pain; they serve as advocates for treatment (sometimes ineffective). Good job Saurab Sharma, PhD

Happy to see it out there

‘A challenge to my professional identity’- resisting the shift from over-management to self-management for back pain within an implementation trial: a qualitative study 👇👇👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I have tested the REDCap form for a digital health clinical trial almost 100 times, and I always find something to improve! It is nearly ready for recruiting participants.

I was pleased to discuss ideas about optimising pain management in primary care with a great group of researchers and clinicians.

Our centre at @neura has been making substantial contributions to optimising pain management in Australia Rodrigo Rizzo gave a brilliant presentation at the Sydney Pain Symposium about projects to optimise back pain management in primary.

Best practice care for acute low back pain: A new clinical standard to assist general practitioners pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39226604/

In the Sydney Pain Consortium, our PhD candidate Emily Walker shared her study investigating clinicians' experiences and challenges in implementing evidence-based care. UNSW Medicine & Health NeuRA (Neuroscience Research Australia)

Rodrigo Rizzo highlighted that despite back pain related spending tripling over the last 20 years, patient outcomes have not improved. What guidelines recommend is often not happening. We need more effective strategies to turn evidence into practice. #backpain

Differentiating the source of neck and shoulder pain is extremely useful in clinical practice. I remember patients being referred to my office for shoulder rehabilitation, when in fact the pain originated from the neck.
