Very grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the pain physiology chapter of this textbook 🙂 Fingers crossed first year students will now understand the difference between nociception and pain!

Using machine learning, we explored how pain mechanistic domains form networks. These networks explain 50-80% of pain variability—significantly better than any of our previous analyses. 🤓🔬journals.lww.com/pain/abstra… @CNAP_AAU @IASPpain @EFIC_org @aausund @RoccoGiordano11

What proportion of patients report long-term pain after total hip or knee replacement for osteoarthritis? A systematic review of prospective studies in unselected patients bmjopen.bmj.com/content/bmjo… long-term pain ranged from about 7% to 23% after hip and 10% to 34% after TKA

Our latest @PAINthejournal paper shows that hamstring pain ENHANCED proprioceptive processing but IMPAIRED peripersonal spatial processing. Interesting implications for reinjury risk and rehabilitation 🦿🧠 Link: tinyurl.com/4wpndjc7 @tendonpain @Tash_Stanton @SimonJSummers

Here are the qualitative findings of people's experiences of the RESOLVE trial and how they could be used to optimise a graded sensorimotor retraining intervention or potentially other biopsychosocial interventions.@rodrizzo_pain doi.org/10.1016/j.jpain.2022… doi:10.1001/jama.2022.9930

Our latest paper @TheJournal_Pain shows that unilateral hamstring pain induces bilateral cortical reorganisation. Corticomotor facilitation ➡️ mechanical sensitivity and decreased function. Read on below! 🧠🦵 @SimonJSummers @ariane_suhood @tendonpain @Tom_Astill @davidopar
Original: @ariane_suhood (@BrainStARLab) and team unveil patterns of corticomotor reorganization that may contribute to functional deficits following acute hamstring injury Read the full article here: jpain.org/article/S1526-5900…

One for the weekend… Increased rates of participation in running, regardless of its dose, would probably lead to substantial improvements in population health and longevity. bjsm.bmj.com/content/54/15/8…

Exercise therapy does not seem to worsen cancer-related pain. This is good news given that cancer-related pain is one of the most common and debilitating side effects across all cancers.
