I still remember where I was when this RCT dropped:
“Effect of Intensive Patient Education vs Placebo Patient Education on Outcomes in Patients With Acute Low Back Pain”
It shook the Pain Science world, and for good reason.
It was a really solid blow to my confidence, but more importantly, an opportunity to reflect and eat some humble pie.
I really admire and respect Adrian and his team for conducting this meaningful research over a 5 year span, only to be humbled, but still share the results.
There is A LOT to unpack in this conversation, but we would highly recommend tuning and and letting us know what you think!
Some Topics Covered:
✔️ Placebo vs sham interventions
✔️ Effectiveness of active listening vs placebo interventions in reducing pain
✔️ Benefits and risks of pain education
✔️ Benefits and risks of diagnostics
✔️ How the physical architecture of the room affects quality of care
✔️ The root cause of pain – do you really need to know?
✔️ What are the risks of unnecessary medical care?
