In case you missed it, this is our Clinical Commentary recently published in @JOSPT Methods, in which we propose methodological strategies for incorporating patient preferences in MSK RCTs. Interested in comments from MSK researchers. https://t.co/86Qoy6WGrL

@FisioActual @JOSPT @davidhosch Gracias Ángel. La investigación debe hacer lo posible por incorporar aquellos elementos que sabemos influyen en los resultados clínicos. Las preferencias de los pacientes es uno de ellos.

RCTs, often overlook patient preferences despite their impact on clinical outcomes. In our new @JOSPT Methods Commentary, we review key methodological adaptations to better integrate these factors into trials.

Just published #BMJ paper: strong against all interventional procedures for spine pain (joint radio frequency ablation; epidural injections; intramuscular injections, etc.) useless & harmful but lucrative. How to stop clear: stop paying. But can it happen? https://t.co/XDRSrgLgdR

These are a useful resource for anyone reading or conducting trials that struggle with internal vs. external validity.

A brief overview and 🔗 to the #OpenAccess papers👇🧵

@DrSethPT @AAOMPT I've been fortunate to learn from Mr. Laurie Hartman. More than techniques, his approach to the patient's body was invaluable to me. This is something overlooked in many modern programs led by Physio-Instagrammers and Osteo-TikTokers." #TrueMastery
