77: Behavioral Patterns of Individual Patients | Dr. Derek Clewley Oct 04, 2018

Show notes

Today, we are looking at large data sets, from a population standpoint, asking if there are ways we can figure out why people actually seek out healthcare and solutions to their pain. We welcome Dr. Derek Clewley, from Duke University, who has been researching behavioral attributes towards healthcare services. His goal has been to use this information to predict healthcare utilization, which, of course, can help us to better understand and serve patients with persistent pain.

Derek, Tim, and Jeff discuss Derek's findings and how we can understand where the patient is coming from, what their expectations are, and what their experiences have been. They'll discuss how we measure these findings and ensure we're utilizing correct comparisons so we can best treat our patients.

Show notes

We have a very special episode for you this week. Dr. Jamie Childs Everett joins us to discuss what she's doing legislatively to help combat the opioid crisis. Jamie has not, traditionally, been very outspoken, but when she spoke up, the government in Wyoming listened. As a result, things have changed, in a positive way, in the way that individuals with persistent pain will be treated in the state of Wyoming. Jamie will share what she did to help make this happen and what she's continuing to do so you'll have the necessary information to get involved in your state!

75: Top 5 Commonly Asked Questions from Patients Sep 13, 2018

Show notes

We have the top five commonly asked questions from patients today! Dr. Tim Flynn is out celebrating his 35th anniversary with his wife, so The Real Brian fills in to help Dr. Jeff Moore answer some of these commonly heard and very important questions that patients typically ask. Our discussion today culminates a lot what we talk about on Pain Reframed into one episode, hitting on some of the essentials!

Are you guys saying that damaged structures in our body never cause pain?
You hear that pain comes from the brain. How can I manage and even sort of control the pain with my mind?
If the "issue isn't in the tissue" why do treatments that are directed towards the tissue often help temporarily?
I'm wanting to take a more conservative approach to my treatment. How do I talk to my doctor if she seems biased towards medication and surgery?
What are the best ways to exercise, move, strength-train, etc?

74: Non-Pharmacological Management is the FIRST Step | Megan Doyle Sep 06, 2018

Show notes

We strive to continue to bring different perspectives and disciplines of practice on to Pain Reframed to help balance our approach in helping patients. This week, we have an occupational therapist, Megan Doyle, joining us! Megan will be sharing her systems approach in how, why, and when we approach patients with specific information. Using words that help and not harm, for example. The goal is to keep the control in the patient's hands, but yet to continue to arm them with the right information they need to achieve health and victory and prevent recurrence.

The conversation today is fantastic. Megan, Tim, and Jeff discuss the massive message for each of us to first ask what we are doing and what our approach is. Non-pharmacological management is the FIRST step. Let's get our patients healing correctly and fully!

73: Addiction Recovery | Eric Chaconas and Ahmed Rashwan Aug 30, 2018

Show notes

A need exists to address the physical aspect of addiction recovery. That's the specialty of Advanced Therapy and Wellness. Today, we welcome Eric Chaconas and Ahmed Rashwan to discuss their work and passion in helping individuals recovering from substance use disorder by improving physical function, reducing pain and improving a sense of well being.

On this week's episode, Ahmed, Eric, Tim, and Jeff discuss their conference, APTA Next, the role of physical therapists in regards to addiction, the physical component on addiction (which is, surprisingly, not normally addressed), and how we can, sometimes, underestimate what physical therapy brings to the market. It's an incredible discussion and something you will definitely find valuable as well as, possibly, some new opportunities!

Show notes

This week, we welcome Dr. Sara Lazar, a neuroscientist from Harvard University. Her research focuses mainly on yoga, meditation, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy to ascertain neural changes that occur with these types of therapy. Dr. Lazar has studied a wide-variety of problems including bipolar disorder, persistent pain, and depression. She will share some exciting information about the research of the cognitive therapies and their effects on persistent pain.

Dr. Lazar's research results suggest that meditation can produce experience-based structural alterations in the brain. They also found evidence that meditation may slow down the age related atrophy of certain areas of the brain. It's very exciting research and we hope you enjoy this discussion!

69: Pain Catastrophizing | Dr. Beth Darnall Aug 02, 2018

Show notes

We welcome back, to Pain Reframed, Dr. Beth Darnall, who is a pain psychologist, clinical scientist, and Clinical Professor at Stanford University. Beth has such a passion and commitment to making a difference in the management of persistent pain as well as reducing the opioid epidemic.

In episode 28 with Beth, we discussed the fact that we tend to ignore the pain psychology of patients. Today, we're continuing that discussion and getting also into the topic of pain catastrophizing and what to do about it.

Beth has a focus on pain catastrophizing as well as treating some of the key issues that prevent patients from succeeding with other pain treatments. Clinically, Beth provides psychological services to patients with catastrophic burn, spinal cord injury or amputation. Her desire to specialize in the management of chronic pain was inspired by her clinical experiences and by her own personal experience with chronic pain.
