Key Takeaways:
Sleep and Chronic Pain Connection: There is a strong link between poor sleep and chronic pain. Addressing sleep issues can potentially alleviate pain symptoms.
Research Findings: A scoping review revealed that less than 10% of chronic low back pain trials include sleep measures, highlighting an area for improvement in research practices.
Role of Wearables: While wearables can provide useful sleep data, they should be used cautiously to avoid causing anxiety. It's best to view sleep data in the context of long-term trends rather than daily fluctuations.
Screening and Interventions: Simple questions about sleep quality can help identify patients who may benefit from further sleep assessment. Tools like the CBTI Coach app, developed by the VA, can assist clinicians in guiding patients through cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia.
Individualized Approach: Quality of sleep is more important than quantity. Clinicians should tailor their recommendations based on the individual needs and experiences of their patients.
Practical Tips for Clinicians: Incorporate basic sleep questions into patient assessments, use validated sleep measures, and educate patients on sleep hygiene practices. Encourage patients to find relaxation strategies that work for them, whether it's mindfulness, reading, or other calming activities.
Educational Integration: Teaching about sleep and its impact on health should be integrated into PT education to better prepare future clinicians.

In this conversation, Mark Kargela interviews Michael Shacklock about his journey and influences in the field of neurodynamics. They discuss the transition from the traditional view of neural tension testing to neurodynamics, the influence of pain science on clinical practice, and the importance of integrating the biological examination with psychosocial factors. Michael also shares his focus on lumbar radiculopathy in his PhD research, specifically looking at unloading the nerve root for pain relief. In this conversation, Michael Shacklock discusses the use of neurodynamic techniques in the treatment of radiculopathy. He explains that movement-related pain should respond quickly to movement, and shares his favorite patient profile for this type of treatment. Shacklock emphasizes the importance of ruling out contralateral tests if they provoke pain, as this indicates reduced cord movement. He also discusses the role of radiology in diagnosing radiculopathy and the challenges of interpreting radiology reports. Shacklock addresses the misconceptions around neurodynamic tests and highlights the need for a comprehensive approach that integrates neurodynamics with musculoskeletal function. He concludes by discussing the application of neurodynamic techniques in acute radiculopathy and the importance of adapting treatment to the individual patient's needs.

In this conversation, Mark Kargela interviews Ian Harris, an orthopedic surgeon and researcher, about the challenges and problems in healthcare. Ian discusses his journey from being a practicing surgeon to becoming interested in the scientific method and evidence-based medicine. He talks about the resistance he has faced in challenging the status quo and the difficulties in changing the way surgeons think. They also discuss the placebo response in surgery, the blurring of normal and disease states in healthcare, and the overuse of procedures like spinal fusion and regenerative medicine. Ian shares his projects on placebo studies for rotator cuff repair and spine fusion, which aim to provide high-quality evidence to change practice.
Takeaways
The scientific method and evidence-based medicine are crucial in improving healthcare practices.Surgeons often face resistance when challenging the status quo and trying to change the way they think.The placebo response in surgery is complex, and contextual factors play a significant role.The blurring of normal and disease states in healthcare leads to unnecessary interventions and medicalization of normal conditions.Procedures like spinal fusion and regenerative medicine are often overused despite limited evidence of their effectiveness.Placebo studies for rotator cuff repair and spine fusion aim to provide high-quality evidence to guide practice.Books (Affiliate Links)
