More than just pain?! A systemic compass for working with people with chronic pain
AbstractOver one in four people in Belgium experience severe physical pain. One in 10 people develop chronic pain every year worldwide.

Talking about feelings of being hard done-by, clarifying the complexity of the situation, examining the body as an autonomous entity...

Protocol for a feasibility, acceptability and safety study of the PICO device (negative pressure wound therapy) in acute paediatric burns
Introduction Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in acute burn care may decrease the time to re-epithelialisation by more than 20%. Despite this, the perceived burden of use; including therapeutic, physical and financial, have limited the use of NPWT in acute burn care. This might be minimised by using the small, ultraportable, single-use NPWT device PICO as opposed to larger devices, which to date has never been studied in acute burn care. This research will; therefore, primarily assess the feasibility, acceptability and safety of PICO in paediatric burns. Secondary outcomes include time to re-epithelialisation, pain, ...
