🤔 Chronic pain is multifaceted, varying widely among patients. @akashgoelmd explores how #Neuroplasticity, #CBT & advanced tools like #fMRI shed light on this puzzle. Is multidisciplinary care the key to progress? Tune in: episodes.fm/1730562799

An update on the latest Canadian guidelines for the management of opioid use disorders as covered by Medscape - overall, buprenorphine and methadone have been brought to a level playing field. See my comments in this Medscape article!
The updated Canadian guideline on managing opioid use disorder recommends buprenorphine and methadone as first-line treatments. The update reflects the latest evidence of these medicines' efficacy. #opioids @drpselby @doc_sud @AkashGoelMD medscape.com/viewarticle/can…

The placebo response is a key factor in the effectiveness of our treatments. For those who suffer, relief is paramount, regardless of the 'why.' But by studying the power of placebo, we can harness it fully to enhance healing. Let's unlock its potential.

Did prescribing laws disproportionately affect opioid dispensing to Black patients?
PDMP check mandates but not pain management clinic laws appeared to reduce opioid dispensing more in Black patients than White patients.
