1\ mindfulness works for treating episodic migraine. our RCT with MRI outcomes is now out @PAINthejournal

if you've wondered where i've been for the last 7 or so years, it was working on this. here's a thread on what we did and what we found:

[JAMA Neurology @JAMANeuro]

A novel cortical biomarker can accurately distinguish high and low pain-sensitive individuals and may predict the transition from acute to chronic pain. https://t.co/U4dHz0baRI

[IASP @IASPpain]

Health equity starts with inclusive research. PAIN reaffirms their commitment to addressing disparities in pain management through #DEI principles. Learn more: https://t.co/HMChpsRgA6 #PainAwareness #HealthEquity

[Carlos Gevers @carlosgeversdc]

Amazing study led by @daspainbrain showing again that peak alpha frequency (+ corticomotor excitability) is the closest to a biomarker that we have! @JAMANeuro

The fight against cancer and opioid overdoses depends on our collective effort. Stand up and share your story of impact. #ImpactInAction

This week, I've been thinking about pain. And David Lynch.
The former, because of a very cool study in @JAMANeurology which I'll tell you about in a second.
The latter because Dune 1984 and Twin Peaks were transformative to my childhood.

"Yes, the Pain Is All in Your Head", in the brain 🧠
Study by @daspainbrain et al used Electroencephalography (EEG) & Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) "to interrogate the level of pain a person is feeling" ~ @fperrywilson 🩺

[Nahian Chowdhury @DrNahianC]

Wondered why pain feels different for everyone? Our latest, published in @JAMANeuro , reveals a brain biomarker that predicts individual pain sensitivity and could identify chronic pain risk. Congrats to all at @PainIMPACTNeuRA @UofMaryland @WesternU !

[Schulich WesternU @SchulichMedDent]

#SchulichMedDent professor David Seminowicz (@daspainbrain) and team have identified two biomarkers that could revolutionize how we understand and treat chronic pain. Published in @JAMANeuro.

nonsense. re-apply if you believe in the idea you proposed and want to see it through.

Attention #interoception researchers! We have a new free software tool to assess cardiac interoceptive accuracy (both Whitehead and Schandry tasks).

Our program is called WACARDIA and uses Shimmer Bluetooth ECG sensors and MATLAB!

[Pavlos Bobos @pavlosbob]

Our latest study in @TheJournal_Pain identifies key inflammatory pathways, like TNF-α and NF-κB signaling, as targets for future therapies. A big step towards personalized pain management. @MicheleCuratolo

RFK Jr. to head newly formed Department of Disease Efficiency

[Ishmail Abdus-Saboor @IshmailSaboor]

So RJK Jr now oversees the NIH. We are screwed in so many ways

[John Streicher @JohnStreicher1]

This is the bad faith bullshit that will be used to demolish all our scientific institutions. Colleagues, you think you can survive this by "not being political"? You're already in a fight, your only choice is whether or not to fight back
