Pain Education, No Script Provided Ep 6, Conflation and Semantics

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2102388/fan_mail/new] We rethink pain from the ground up with Monica Noy, separating nociception from pain and showing how sloppy language and seductive stories distort care. We examine multiple modes of nociceptive activation, challenge “root cause” thinking, and push for ethical, precise explanations that validate lived experience. • nociception as necessary for pain, not equivalent to pain • immune, neuroinflammatory, cellular, and prolonged stress pathways activating nociception • the nail-in-the-boot anecdote clarified and deconflated • risks of guru narratives and circular brain-first explanations • the pitfalls of “root cause” and regional interdependence • pain-driven movement changes versus movement as cause • clinical descriptors as mechanisms of nociception, not pain types • social determinants as context, not convenient causal levers • semantics as shared meaning that improves assessment and care Please subscribe so you can be the first to listen to new episodes If you enjoyed this episode, share to your favorite social media platforms Pain Education No Script Provided is a self-directed course which is now available for purchase on my website, the CEBE.com If you'd like to financially support my podcast, please consider making a small donation by clicking on the support button or visiting buymeacoffee.com/helloob The Massage Science Podcast and my company, The Centre for Evidence-Based Education (The CEBE), are now official partners with Noterro.

Pain Education, No Script Provided Ep 4. Definitions and Clinical Descriptors

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2102388/fan_mail/new] We examine the IASP definition of pain, why shared language matters, and how sloppy semantics derail research and care. We contrast barriers to recovery with causes, clarify differences between nociceptors and nociception, and use sensitization and nociplastic as hypotheses that guide better reasoning. • using the IASP definition to ground assessment • distinguishing nociceptors, neurons, and nociception • reframing biopsychosocial as barriers to recovery • identifying sensitization without overpathologizing • applying nociceptive, nociplastic, neuropathic as hypotheses • avoiding conflations like “pain signals” in clinic and AI • aligning treatment dosing to irritability and mechanism Please subscribe on your favorite podcast network.

Pain Education, No Script Provided Episode 3. Social Determinants of Health

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2102388/fan_mail/new] Without understanding social determinants of health, pain care becomes guesswork dressed as certainty. Monica Noy helps us separate influence from cause and shows why humility is a clinical skill. • why private care creates privilege and access gaps • how BPS gets narrowed and misused as causation • influence versus cause across bio, psycho and social factors • education gaps in neuroscience and pain mechanisms • harms of structural narratives and “root cause” claims • core social determinants: income, racism, education, work, sleep, access • sex and gender biases in research and pain treatment • racism and under treatment of pain  • practical ways to center context without blame • building trust through transparency and uncertainty Pain Education, no script provided, is now available for purchase on my website, thecebe.com [https://thecebe.com] To listen to more of these episodes, please subscribe on your favorite podcast network If you enjoyed this episode, please like and share to your favorite social media platforms If you’d like to connect with me, I can be reached to my website, thecebe.com, or send me a DM through Instagram @Eric_purves_cebe If you really like this episode and you want to support my podcast, please consider making a small donation.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
