01
The Cost of Persistent Pain and the Neurophysiology of Chronification

Why persistent pain costs more than almost any other medical condition, why single-modality care falls short, and how the nervous system changes as acute pain becomes chronic, from limbic upregulation to lost descending inhibition.

19:09
02
Yellow Flags, Catastrophizing and How to Measure Effective Pain Care

How to explain that pain does not equal tissue damage, which yellow flags predict chronification, why catastrophizing and self-efficacy matter, and how function, distress and pain are measured to judge whether pain care is working.

22:45
03
Psychology, Exercise, Medication and Interventions for Persistent Pain

What the evidence says about treating persistent pain with psychology, exercise, manual therapy, medication and interventional procedures, and why the best exercise is the one the patient will actually do.

15:18
04
A Pain Clinic Case, Lessons for Clinicians and Multimodal Care

A real pain clinic case showing what progress looks like without lower pain scores, lessons for clinicians facing yellow flags and slow change, recommended resources, and a layered model for building multimodal care.

This 1 hour lecture will cover the basics of pain physiology and the clinical take  home messages for acute to chronic pain transition.

It is designed to be an introductory lecture on the concepts of the differences between acute and chronic pain and why the approaches to treating them need to be different.  

It covers

 

* Acute pain processing 

* Why context is really important in a pain setting 

* The physiological changes that occur as acute pain becomes chronic 

* Why it is important for us as clinicians to understand this physiology in the clinic 

* How we can better target acute pain to prevent it’s transition to chronic pain 

* What are approaches known to best meet the needs of patients with chronic pain
