I am a big public radio fan so was stoked to be interviewed for this week’s @scifri.bsky.social on untangling the mind-body connection in chronic pain 🎙️
A new psychological treatment called pain reprocessing therapy has shown early promise in eliminating chronic back pain. Producer Shoshannah Buxbaum, Dr. @lcheathcote.bsky.social and Dr. Yoni Ashar join us to discuss the intersection of mental health and chronic pain.
Research suggests that better understanding the psychological and neurological components of chronic pain may lead to better treatments.
