We wanted pain science messages on social media that resonate. So we partnered with #youth who have lived with chronic #pain to co-design them. Our paper is published in @TheJournal_Pain jpain.org/article/S1526-5900…

Huge congratulations @millie_mardon on successfully defending her PhD with flying colours! What a delight to co-supervise your journey Mil 👏 Be sure to follow @millie_mardon to see her important #pelvic #pain research!
Today I passed my PhD forthwith. Currently processing all the emotions! And too many people to thank - a short post like this doesn’t do it justice. What a wild time. Brb in two business days. I’m off to go celebrate 🥳

We asked people with chronic #pelvic #pain what they valued learning about their pain. Their four major responses are described in this paper, and in lead author @millie_mardon thread below. Paper now in @PAINthejournal doi.org/10.1097/j.pain.00000…
New publication alert! My thematic analysis, which generated 4 pain education concepts important for females with improved pelvic pain 👇 journals.lww.com/pain/abstra…

Credible explanations - how do we explain to adolescents why they are in pain? It is a complex task and may have something to do with diagnostic uncertainty...🧵 Just published in EJP: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… @MichaelRathleff @kj_bruun @Henrik_Riel @MH_DK @BenD_NZ @EFIC_org

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

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
