Pain 113

Course overview

*Outline a recent clinical guideline on the chiropractic management of chronic musculoskeletal pain. *Identify a common set of recommendations from high-quality clinical guidelines that can be applied to a wide range of musculoskeletal pain conditions. *Explore which target concepts are important to patients who improved following a pain science education intervention for persistent pain. *Investigate whether untrained trait mindfulness is associated with differential responses to pain stimuli and whether these intrinsic differences reflect differential patterns of resting-state functional connectivity in the brain. *Characterize the pain-based mechanisms of thoracic spinal manipulation and advance the preliminary validation of brain-based models as potential clinical biomarkers of pain.
