The evaluation of a chronic pain educational intervention https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30899 P = 0.039). In a sensitivity analysis including only trainees attending the workshop, 80.0% pre-intervention and 97.1% postintervention tapered opioids (P = 0.070). Anticipated initiation of any opioids for a chronic osteoarthritic knee pain clinical vignette reduced from 35 (74.5%) to 24 (51.1%; P = 0.012) in the primary analysis and from 80.0% to 41.7% in the sensitivity analysis (P = 0.001). Conclusions: Necessary improvements in pain management and opioid harm avoidance are predicated on primary care education being of demonstrable efficacy. This brief educational intervention improved hypothetical management approaches two months subsequently. Further research measuring objective changes in physician behavior, especially opioid prescribing, is indicated.]]> Wed 04 Sep 2019 09:55:51 AEST ]]> Chronic pain Overlap and specificity in multimorbidity management https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48329 Tue 14 Mar 2023 16:47:58 AEDT ]]> Training primary care providers in opioid deprescribing and chronic pain management based on local guidance: a pre-post study of attitude change https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36961 Thu 23 Jul 2020 09:24:41 AEST ]]> Diet and chronic non-cancer pain: The state of the art and future directions https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49221 Sun 07 May 2023 09:37:30 AEST ]]> Does brief chronic pain management education change opioid prescribing rates?

A systematic review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54583 Sat 02 Mar 2024 10:10:13 AEDT ]]> Population characteristics in a tertiary pain service cohort experiencing chronic non-cancer pain: weight status, comorbidities, and patient goals https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30842 5 years. Forty-five percent of patients were classified as obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2, mean (SD) BMI was 31 ± 7 kg/m2), with a mean waist circumference of 104 ± 19.4 cm (SD). The most frequent patient nominated treatment goals related to physical activity (39%), followed by nutritional goals (23%). Traditionally, pain management programs have included physical, psychosocial, and medical, but not nutritional, interventions. By contrast, patients identified and reported important nutrition-related treatment goals. There is a need to test nutrition treatment pathways, including an evaluation of dietary intake and nutrition support. This will help to optimize dietary behaviors and establish nutrition as an important component of multidisciplinary chronic pain management.]]> Mon 26 Sep 2022 14:38:08 AEST ]]> Therapeutic alternatives for supporting GPs to deprescribe opioids: a cross-sectional survey https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35404 Fri 26 Jul 2019 09:57:20 AEST ]]> Feasibility of patient-focused behavioral interventions to support adults experiencing chronic noncancer pain during opioid tapering: a systematic literature review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39695 Fri 17 Jun 2022 16:21:04 AEST ]]> Integrated Primary Healthcare Opioid Tapering Interventions: A Mixed-Methods Study of Feasibility and Acceptability in Two General Practices in New South Wales, Australia. https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41580 Fri 05 Aug 2022 14:44:50 AEST ]]>
