Do you have low back pain? If so, then we want to hear from you! @westernsydneyu and @QUT are running a study in collaboration with @hcfaustralia to explore novel treatments. Scan QR code or email [email protected] to find out more!
Cavaleri et al. find that widespread pain, reflecting central sensitization, is associated with lower peak alpha frequency when compared with localized pain in people with chronic pelvic pain syndrome. Learn more in #PainReports bit.ly/44BvT9Z

We had a great time discussing biomechanics and central nervous system factors that contribute to low back and shoulder pain at @APTAcsm. Thank you, @BiomechanicsSig, for the opportunity to share our work!
Peak alpha frequency is related to pain spread, but not intensity/ duration, in UCPPS - now published in @PainReportsOPEN ! Grateful to @jjkutch and the AMPL team for all the support during my @FulbrightAUS program. journals.lww.com/painrpts/fullt… @heindelm @mclain_nat @RodriguezMDUrol
@BrainStARLab et al. find that sustained hamstring pain induces enhanced proprioceptive processing and deficits in peripersonal spatial processing. This may hold significance for hamstring reinjury risk and rehabilitation strategies. Learn more in #PAIN bit.ly/4eDZocQ
This new book chapter on managing neuropathic pain through psychological, physical, and complementary therapies is now available online! Explore evidence-based approaches for a holistic pain management plan. @NellNormanNott @AidanCashin @SylviaGustin2 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Our recent review published in @PainMedJournal Investigating the effects of non-invasive brain stimulation beyond the motor cortex on QST outcomes in clinical pain populations. Huge team effort! @RoccoCavaleri @AndrewFlood_ @jjkutch @TinoToufexis @QUT @HealthSci_WSU @UC_RISE
Woohoo! Congrats @EdwardAGray! Extremely well-deserved 🥳🥳🥳
Woohoo! Congrats @EdwardAGray! Extremely well-deserved 🥳🥳🥳
Do differences in peak alpha frequency reflect diagnosis-specific mechanisms?🧠New publication in #EJPain with @mclain_nat and @jjkutch shows that PAF differs between chronic back and chronic widespread pain, with important implications for future work: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39373167/
Congratulations to all the students who participated in the @QUT Biomedical Sciences HDR Symposium. Shout-out to my students Keeley McNally, James Walker, and Dean Biddau - great to see all that hard work paying off.
Our latest @PAINthejournal paper shows that hamstring pain ENHANCED proprioceptive processing but IMPAIRED peripersonal spatial processing. Interesting implications for reinjury risk and rehabilitation 🦿🧠 Link: tinyurl.com/4wpndjc7 @tendonpain @Tash_Stanton @SimonJSummers
Read “Clinical improvements due to specific effects and placebo effects in conservative interventions and changes observed with no treatment in RCTs of patients with CNSLBP” by @JulieKRPedersen et al. in #PAIN bit.ly/3whK99q
As a visiting post-doc at @CNAP_AAU, @DrNahianC did this exciting study💪. We show the analgesic effects of rTMS to the posterior superior insular in healthy subjects. Cortical inhibitory processes were involved in the analgesic effects (assessed by TMS evoked EEG responses). 👇

Original: @ariane_suhood (@BrainStARLab) and team unveil patterns of corticomotor reorganization that may contribute to functional deficits following acute hamstring injury Read the full article here: jpain.org/article/S1526-…
📢📢📢 New paper alert! The much overlooked 'tonic' orienting reflex plays an important role in the fundamental #learning process of #habituation! #psychophysiology #EEG #orienting @AdeleCave87 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Tian et al. find that unusual electrophysiological properties of nociceptor cell bodies enable the development of spontaneous discharge that may promote ongoing pain. Learn more in #PAIN bit.ly/4aEjGBd
Do you have an interest in neuroscience/ pain research? We have a fully-funded PhD scholarship available in our lab @westernsydneyu @HealthSci_WSU! See below for more information and application instructions 🧠💪 westernsydney.edu.au/schools/grs/sc…
Wonderful to see this in print @CMAJ 👇 The clinical course of acute, subacute and persistent low back pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis Thanks to a stellar team 💫 @MaryOKeeffe007 @MervTravers @Dr_Flick_ @SimonJSummers @BelindaLangePT ++ cmaj.ca/content/196/2/…
My @FulbrightAUS scholarship @USC officially starts this week! It was fantastic meeting @jjkutch & the AMPL team in person and receiving such a warm welcome to LA. Very excited for the challenges and opportunities to come over the next few months! @westernsydneyu @HealthSci_WSU
