Very grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the pain physiology chapter of this textbook 🙂 Fingers crossed first year students will now understand the difference between nociception and pain!

Excited to see my paper out involving collaboration between @CNAP_AAU and @PainIMPACTNeuRA where I collected data in Snowy Aalborg. Thank you @GravenNielsen for hosting me!

Using machine learning, we explored how pain mechanistic domains form networks. These networks explain 50-80% of pain variability—significantly better than any of our previous analyses. 🤓🔬https://t.co/cUMkHtgU8S

What proportion of patients report long-term pain after total hip or knee replacement for osteoarthritis? A systematic review of prospective studies in unselected patients https://t.co/oAJc9NQBcr

long-term pain ranged from about 7% to 23% after hip and 10% to 34% after TKA

Our latest @PAINthejournal paper shows that hamstring pain ENHANCED proprioceptive processing but IMPAIRED peripersonal spatial processing. Interesting implications for reinjury risk and rehabilitation 🦿🧠

Our latest paper @TheJournal_Pain shows that unilateral hamstring pain induces bilateral cortical reorganisation. Corticomotor facilitation ➡️ mechanical sensitivity and decreased function. Read on below! 🧠🦵 @SimonJSummers @ariane_suhood @tendonpain @Tom_Astill @davidopar

Increased rates of participation in running, regardless of its dose, would probably lead to substantial improvements in population health and longevity.

Exercise therapy does not seem to worsen cancer-related pain.

This is good news given that cancer-related pain is one of the most common and debilitating side effects across all cancers.
