Cancer Rehabilitation Veterans Affairs Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (VA-ECHO) Virtual Education Program - A Model for Virtual Learning in the COVID-19 Era
Am J Phys Med Rehabil. 2023 Mar 31. doi: 10.1097/PHM.0000000000002258. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRehabilitation is important in the care of patients with cancer for improving function, pain, and quality of life. However, only a small number of clinicians are formally trained in cancer rehabilitation. Virtual learning environments may play a promising role in cancer rehabilitation education, especially in the coronavirus pandemic era where in-person learning is not readily available. A national, interprofessional cancer rehabilitation education program involving a monthly longitudinal webinar series and a two-day virtua...

On not being a arse
Humans are judgemental beings. All of us are. It’s part of having a big brain and wanting to know who’s ‘in’ and who’s ‘out’. Judgements help us make decisions, they’re surprisingly resistant to change, and they can inadvertently trap us into doing things we would never countenance were we able to stand back from what our minds want us to know (and feel).
My post today is prompted by a couple of conversations recently. One was with a clinician, new to a pain team, who found that experienced members of that team thought actions taken by a person with pain were a sign of ...

Management of chronic pain by occupational therapist: A description of practice profile
Can J Occup Ther. 2023 Mar 20:84174231162709. doi: 10.1177/00084174231162709. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBackground. Current state of knowledge regarding occupational therapy's contribution to chronic pain (CP) management has evolved over the past decade. Yet, has this been transferred to clinical practice? Purpose. Describe the current state of practice of CP management-specific occupational therapy. Method. An online survey was sent to occupational therapists working with CP patients. Findings. Of the 90 respondents (11.9%), 42.2% worked in primary care and 52.2% in secondary care. They reported that their primary rol...

What do people want from pain management?
The short answer is often “take my pain away” – and we’d be foolish to ignore the impact of pain intensity on distress and disability. At the same time there’s more than enough research showing that if treatment only emphasises pain intensity (1) it may not be achievable for many, especially if we take into account the small effect sizes on pain intensity from exercise, medications and psychological therapies; and (2) even if pain is reduced, it may not translate into improvements in daily life.
The slightly more complex answer lies behind the desire to “take my pain away.” We n...

Chronic Pain in Children
Chronic pain in children is a relatively prevalent cause of functional disability. Contributing factors to this pain are best viewed through the biopsychosocial model. Although evidence is lacking for individual aspects of treatment, interdisciplinary care is considered the best treatment approach for children with chronic pain. Interdisciplinary care can include medication management with daily and as-needed medications, physical and occupational therapy focusing on function and movement, and psychological treatment with cognitive-behavioral therapy and acceptance focused treatment. In children with severe pain and disabi...

Feasibility of Mindfulness-Based Intervention for Veterans Managing Chronic Pain
This study aimed to (1) evaluate the feasibility of the Mindfulness-Based Chronic Pain Management (MBCPMTM) program on reducing pain perception and enhancing the quality of life, and (2) understand veterans' experience with the program. Method. The pretest-posttest single-group, mixed-methods design was used. Thirty-one veterans were offered the 12-week intervention. The Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) and the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-29 were administered before and after the program. Focus groups and individual interviews were conducted to understand the experience. Findings. Participants'...

“ N-of-1 ” research – A clinically relevant research strategy!
I’ve been banging on about single case experimental research designs (SCED) ever since I studied with Prof Neville Blampied at University of Canterbury. Prof Blampied (now retired) was enthusiastic about this approach because it allows clinicians to scientifically test whether an intervention has an effect in an individual – but he took it further with a very cool graphical analysis that allows multiple cases to be studied and plotted using the modified Brinley Plot (Blampied, 2017), and I’ll be discussing it later in this series. Suffice to say, I love this approach to research because it allows clinicia...

Efficacy of Conservative Interventions for Musculoskeletal Conditions on Pain and Disability in Active Serving Military Personnel-A Systematic Review
CONCLUSIONS: Currently available randomized clinical trials do not provide sufficient evidence to guide military organizations or health care professionals in making appropriate treatment decisions to manage MSK pain in active serving military personnel. Future research is essential to enable evidence-based recommendations for the effective management of MSK pain conditions in this unique population.PMID:36722165 | DOI:10.1093/milmed/usac409
