Join us this episode for a conversation with Linda Ehrlich-Jones, RN, PhD, Associate Director of the Center for Rehabilitation Outcomes Research at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab and a Research Professor in the Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. In this conversation we discuss the current state of the medical evidence for intervening on chronic pain in people living with spinal cord injury, with a focus on strategies that do not require drugs. The paper explaining the process is titled "Behavioral/Physical and Stimulation Interventions for Chronic Pain Following Spinal Cord Injury: A systematic review" published in Topics in Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation. In this paper Dr. Ehrlich-Jones discuss a systematic literature review that compared behavioral and complementary therapies with neuromodulation-based stimulation approaches for managing chronic neuropathic pain after SCI, including their evidence base, clinical feasibility, and implications for future treatment innovation. We invite you to listen in as Dr. Ehrlich-Jones gives a thorough current update on non-pharmacological pain management, and trust you will enjoy this episode.
