We underestimate the role that our thoughts and beliefs play into our pain experience. What comorbidities show up most often in expensive orthopedic claims? Anxiety and depression. Most providers aren't screening for these risk factors. It's hard for clinics to incorporate the most modern research into their diagnostics and treatment practices. When you're running from patient to patient, remembering all of the rules you're taught in school is tough. Yet, we know that you absolutely HAVE TO or else the patient will not get the right care. This is where being a virtual care provider makes all the difference. Our diagnostic engine forms the foundation for delivering exceptional care. We aggregate the most modern research into our clinical decision rules, ensuring we are uncovering all root causes of pain. An accurate diagnosis ensures the treatment plan is correct.

Thank you Erika Petersen, MD for presenting the ECAP Study, the largest, real-world IDE Study to evaluate outcomes of the only physiologic, ECAP-controlled, closed-loop therapy. The outcomes showed ECAP-controlled, closed-loop therapy was effective in restoring patient Global Health near US general population normative values.   Since the first ECAP measurement to transform the science and practice of SCS, the Evoke® System has demonstrated the most enduring outcomes out to 36 months. The EVOKE Study, the only double-blinded, randomized controlled study in SCS proved that precise and consistent neural activation is what drives enduring patient outcomes.   #Seethepain #NoComparison #DurablePainRelief #ASPN2023 #closedloop #EVOKEStudy #Evoke #ECAPs #SmartLoop #ECAPs #SmartSCS #ChronicPain #PAIN2023   https://lnkd.in/efYaE2nD Risks and Important Safety Info https://lnkd.in/d2XZ_Asn  Rx Only  The Saluda Medical Evoke® SCS System is indicated as an aid in the management of chronic intractable pain of the trunk and/or limbs.

A new patient presents to your #chiropractic office with neck pain and this arthropathy. 1.) DDX? 2.) Lab studies? Include Anti-CCP or other biomarkers? 3.) Imaging studies? Flex/Ext or Digital lateral flexion APOM? MRI to visualize canal intrusion due to post. dens pannus? 4.) Contraindication to HV-LA SMT of the upper cervical spine? At PostGradDC.com, we offer advanced training to uniquely qualify physicians to assess patients, order and interpret advanced imaging/lab work and develop sophisticated differential diagnoses. Such highly trained chiropractors are principal caregivers that oversee, manage, treat, and coordinate multidisciplinary medical care to improve outcomes and quality of life.

AccendoWave - A Pain #Data Company A total of 314 studies and 1978 authors were analyzed. Only 13.6% of the studies had accurate COI statements, whereas the majority (86.4%) had inaccurate COI disclosures. Additionally, 48.9% of the authors who received funding of $10,000 to $100,000 failed to report this amount in their disclosures, and 18% of the authors who received funding of $100,000 or more did not report it in their disclosures. A Top 4 Global Health Equity Solution and Top 15 Global Remote Monitoring Company, AccendoWave, benchmarks objective brain wave #pain data (specialty, gender, age) and has nine pain databases: Emergency Department, Maternal Health, Oncology, MSK, Medical Surgical, ICU, Women, Adults, Seniors to eliminate bias, improve outcomes and reduce health care costs. If desired, AccendoWave can also create customized pain databases for partners that can be accessed on the Datavant platform.
