Children with chronic non-cancer pain and their families ’ experiences and understanding of their condition, pain services and treatments: a meta-ethnography
Cochrane has produced more than a dozen systematic reviews of the effects of interventions that might help children who have chronic pain and their parents. In October 2023, these were added to with a review of qualitative research that had explored the experiences and views of children and their families about chronic non-cancer pain and pain services and treatments. In this podcast, Roses Parker, Cochrane ' s Commissioning Editor, talks with lead author Emma France, an associate professor in health research at the University of Stirling in the UK, about the review and its findings.

Which remotely-delivered psychological approaches help people with long-term chronic pain to improve symptoms?
The Cochrane Pain, Palliative and Supportive Care Group has produced more than 300 reviews and added to these in August 2023 with a review of remotely-delivered psychological therapies for chronic pain in adults. Here ' s one of the authors, Geoff Duggan formerly from the Bath Centre for Pain Services in the UK, to tell us about the importance of the review and its findings.

Bacterial ‘syringes’ could inject drugs directly into human cells
00:48 Tiny syringes for drug deliveryA team of researchers have repurposed tiny syringe-like structures produced by some bacteria to deliver molecules directly into human cells. They hope that this method could be used to overcome a big challenge in modern medicine, namely ensuring that therapeutics are delivered into the precise cells that need to be treated.Research article: Kreitz et al.News and Views: Mix-and-match tools for protein injection into cells07:05 Research HighlightsA diamond-like material could protect spacecraft from intense radiation, and how gene editing could help in the treatment of a rare genetic cond...

Talk Evidence - masks, chronic pain, and baby milk formulae claims
In this episode of Talk Evidence, Helen Macdonald is joined by Juan Franco and Joe Ross, to bring you the newest evidence in The BMJ.
First, chronic pain. As prescribers move away from opioids, Juan finds an overview of systematic reviews asking whether anti-depressants might help.
Joe finds new research on the link between six healthy lifestyle markers and cognitive decline.
Helen looks at a trial to reduce prescribing among older people with suspected urinary tract infection or UTI.
Juan has a nuanced take on the updated evidence on masks to reduce the spread of respiratory viruses.
Finally, an international grou...

Yoga for chronic non-specific low back pain
Low-back pain is a very common problem, and a variety of treatments have been assessed in Cochrane Reviews. In November 2022, we published an update of the 2017 Cochrane review of the effects of yoga for chronic, non-specific low-back pain. The review was led by Susan Wieland of the Cochrane Complementary Medicine Field in the USA, together with colleagues from Canada, Germany and the UK. Here ’s another of the authors on the review, Shireen Harbin from the Institute for Work& Health in Toronto Canada to tell us about the latest findings. (Source: Podcasts from The Cochrane Library)

Fixing fat bubbles for vaccines, and preventing pain from turning chronic
On this week’s show: Lipid nanoparticles served us well as tiny taxis delivering millions of mRNA vaccines against COVID-19, but they aren’t optimized—yet, and why we might need inflammation to stop chronic pain
The messenger RNA payload of the mRNA vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 is wrapped up in little fatty packets called lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). These fat bubbles were originally designed for something much different—carrying molecules into cells to silence genes. But they were useful and we were in a hurry, so not much was changed about them when they were pressed into service against COVID-19. ...
