    Episode 12: Validating the Pain Experience with Dr. Sarah Wallwork

    Validating someone's pain experiences is important for building trust, fostering understanding, and providing support. However, it's crucial to strike a balance and be mindful of the context to avoid over-validation. Here are some considerations and tips for validating a child's painful experience:   Listen Actively: Pay close attention to what the child is expressing verbally and non-verbally. Show that you are engaged and interested in their feelings by maintaining eye contact, nodding, and using verbal affirmations.   Empathize: Put yourself in the child's shoes and try to understand their perspective. Acknowledge their emotions and let them know that it's okay to feel the way they do.   Reflect Their Feelings: Repeat back what the child has shared to confirm your understanding and let them know you are actively listening. For example, say, "It sounds like you're feeling [emotion], is that right?"   Avoid Minimizing or Dismissing: Refrain from downplaying or dismissing the child's feelings. Phrases like "It's not a big deal" or "You shouldn't feel that way" can be invalidating. Instead, acknowledge their emotions without judgment.   Use Empathetic Statements: Express empathy through statements like "I can see that this is really hard for you" or "It must be tough to go through this."   Ask Open-ended Questions: Encourage the child to share more about their feelings by asking open-ended questions. This helps them feel heard and understood.   Validate Without Judging: Make it clear that it's okay for them to feel the way they do. Separate the validation of emotions from any potential actions or behaviors.   Consider Cultural and Individual Differences: Recognize that different individuals may have varying comfort levels with emotional expression. Be sensitive to cultural nuances and individual preferences.   Provide Reassurance: Reassure the child that they are not alone and that you are there to support them. Offer comfort without pressuring them to share more than they are comfortable with.   Encourage Professional Help: If the child's pain appears to be severe or if you have concerns about their well-being, consider involving a mental health professional or counselor.   While validating a child's painful experience is crucial, it's also important to be aware of potential signs of distress that may require professional intervention. Always prioritize the child's safety and well-being. Building trust and understanding takes time, so approach the process with patience and consistency.

    Episode 9: Creating a framework for educational interventions with Brian Pulling (2/2)

    In the latest episode of "Pain Matters"  Professor Lorimer Moseley, accompanied by Bart van Buchem, a pain specialist physiotherapist, welcomes back guest Brian Pulling. They delve into a research paper focused on developing a scale to understand how individuals with painful arthritis perceive their situation, pain, disease, and prognosis. The conversation takes an intriguing turn towards a new study involving network analysis, a cutting-edge method in psychometrics. Brian explains that network analysis examines relationships between different questionnaire items, aiming to understand how people conceptualize and understand osteoarthritic knee pain. The significance of network analysis in psychometrics is emphasized, with Brian highlighting its potential to provide more nuanced and comprehensive insights compared to traditional questionnaire-based assessments. The ultimate goal is to create a framework that allows clinicians to individualize educational curricula for patients based on their existing knowledge and beliefs. The discussion touches on the limitations of traditional pain assessment methods, such as asking individuals to rate their pain on a scale of 0 to 10. Brian emphasises the complexity of pain and the need for a more sophisticated approach to capture the multifaceted nature of individuals' experiences with pain. Looking ahead, Brian discusses the evolving nature of network analysis in pain science education and its potential to revolutionise how clinicians tailor educational interventions. The conversation hints at the possibility of a more efficient and targeted approach to address conceptual barriers to recovery through identifying key elements in patients' understanding of pain.   Brian Pulling is a PhD candidate in health science in the Persistent Pain Research Group at the University of South Australia with a focus on educational theory and innovative psychometrics. His research aims to improve treatments for persistent pain by giving researchers and clinicians more comprehensive assessment tools to understand how people think about their own health. His work uses complex data models such as network analysis. Brian's most recent publication is available here, and presents the first of several phases in the development of a new questionnaire about how people conceptualise osteoarthritis [https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0286114].

    Episode 6: Painsystem Hypersensitivity

    Welcome to a new episode of the Pain Matters Podcast, where we dive into the intricate world of pain science with leading expert Professor Lorimer Moseley to explore the concept of pain system hypersensitivity. In our journey through the realms of pain, we encounter terminology that seeks to capture the essence of patients' experiences. One such term, "pain system hypersensitivity," emerges from a meticulous study where patients themselves were asked to articulate their ongoing pain states. In this episode, we unravel the significance of this term, delving into its connections with primary and secondary hyperalgesia, as well as allodynia. The introduction of "pain system hypersensitivity" stems from a profound understanding of patients' perspectives and preferences. As we navigate through this discussion, we will explore how this term reflects the lived experiences of individuals grappling with persistent pain. Interestingly, alternatives like "nociplastic pain" and "oversensitivity" were considered but did not resonate with the patients. Our exploration today aims to shed light on the intricacies of pain system hypersensitivity, offering insights that could reshape our understanding of chronic pain and guide us towards more empathetic and effective approaches to pain management. So, join us on this enlightening journey with Professor Lorimer Moseley as we delve into the nuanced world of pain system hypersensitivity on the Pain Matters Podcast.
