Can we really subgroup people with LBP? A more flexible, multidimensional, clinically-reasoned approach to profile patient complexity may be required to inform individualised, patient-centred care. @martinrabey @hels_slater ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3125…

There is no "one-size-fits-all" treatment for pain. Pain is an incredibly subjective experience. #SundayThoughts

A one-size-fits-all approach to addressing the intersection between pain and opioids is doomed to fail, @BethDarnall says. The solution: patient-centered research and treatment. #PainAwarenessMonth stan.md/301RKCC

Addressing the dual crises of pain and opioids — a case for patient-centeredness

Slow medicine and listening to the patient saves lives

The current system pays GPs the same amount for a consultation that lasts six minutes or 19 minutes, so there is a monetary incentive to keep it short and move on.

"To treat pain better, we need flexible policies that provide meaningful access to comprehensive pain care and avoid policies that myopically focus on opioid dose reductions." Just published! My thoughts on U.S. pain care and the CDC opioid guideline. academic.oup.com/painmedicin…

Why do we seem to be pushing an acute care model (which in and of itself is questionable) for a chronic condition (LBP)? by Lynn Debar #LBPforum #backpainforum
