Media often stigmatizes pain in adolescents, new study finds. Among Netflix shows and movies, <1% of pain episodes reflect chronic pain.

How does @netflix portray pain in media targeted towards adolescents? Not well, according to a new study from researchers at @UCalgary.
Read all about it in my latest story for @MigraineCollab.

Listen to @katebirnie on The Most Painful Podcast discuss what we can do about #ChronicPain in children in Canada🇨🇦
#ItDoesntHaveToHurt
In most of our previous episodes, we have had experts talk about chronic pain in adults, but what about chronic pain in children? There is a high number of children suffering from pain, but what resources are available for children? One organization is @KidsInPain (SKIP).

Pain is highly subjective and individual. Never judge anyone for what they feel.

Important work on pain catastrophizing. A concept that is highly predictive of pain outcomes but has become stigmatizing.
@RomeGastroPsych
@DrPalssonUNC @drlauriekeefer
We surveyed 3,500 patients on the term 'pain catastrophizing'
• 1/3 of those who had heard of the term said it was problematic or stigmatizing.
• Of those, 12% reported stigma from the term.
We concluded: "Clinician education on patient-centered terminology may improve care and reduce stigma."
