Not one, but *two* RCTs of novel behavioural #pain interventions for #adolescents in this month's PAIN Journal 🤩. Great to see these from Laura Simons Rikard Wicksell & Dr. Tonya Palermo Dr. Jennifer Stinson teams. Looking forward to even more progress in paediatric pain in 2024!

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the PICH Down Under webinar today! 👇👇

📢Myth busting new #CRPS paper challenges🧐 assumption that those with early #CRPS have better rehab outcomes 📢
Our RUH Bath 🏥 clinical data proved they don't👈🏾
In fact people with CRPS => 1 year do just as well & sustain those improvements once home🏠

Youth Advisory Group for Chronic Pain UniSA

Particularity when it comes to #ChronicPain , children and their families are often not believed. Investing time to talk to young people and their families about their pain ensures they feel heard and cared for, and increases the likelihood of engagement in care. #NPAW2023

Launching our Youth Advisory Group was a highlight of 2023🌟
At the AAAH conference, youth presenters Sara and Kate shared their experience as youth advisors in #chronicpain and #prevention research. Rebecca Raeside Stephanie Partridge and I explored facilitating these groups 🙌

Come join us at the AAAH conference tomorrow, speaking about consumer engagement in reserach!

Great opportunity to complete your PhD in a stellar research team! 👇

Grateful to have been selected as a finalist for the 2023 South Australian Science Excellence and Innovation Awards in the category of PhD Research Excellence!
