Show Notes
On this week's episode of the Joint Action podcast, we dive into a critical aspect of osteoarthritis care: pain management. Dr Stefan Ivanavicius and Dr Sarah Kennedy join us to unravel why pain remains an unmet need in osteoarthritis. They shed light on the complexity of pain, influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors. We explore different pain types and why current treatments fall short, highlighting the need for personalised care.
We'll also take you through the journey of drug development, from preclinical to clinical trials, revealing why it takes years and billions of dollars to bring a new pain management drug to market.
Tune in as we discuss innovations on the horizon, the hope for targeted treatments, and the collaborative efforts driving advancements in osteoarthritis care. Whether you're living with osteoarthritis or interested in the science behind pain management, this episode is packed with insights and optimism for the future.
