The PANDOS study has recruited over 8000 ppts since September 2023 across the UK and Europe. Congratulations to all the teams that have been part of this amazing achievement.🎉🎉
@Patrice_Forget
Fascinating concept. Strong rationale, including neurophysiological. Many transferable findings in different fields of (pain) research and management.
I remember we wrote that pain fluctuates and is a fragile endpoint. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3325…
This is very convincing evidence.
Seriously brilliant work from our students, @ftasundstrom @alavefjord . Well worth checking out.
