  • Overcoming pain - Why a Lifestyle medicine focussed approach could help
    Send us a textGenerated by Notebook LM. Pls forgive the initial hyperbole generated by the AI about my credentials!!! (sounds very cringy when I heard it but cant do much about that as the rest was very good!)Recently presented at the  2024 Lifestyles Summit organised by Modality and Pathfinder CIC at Google HQ in London, my presentation outlines the need for a trauma-informed approach to pain management. It argues that the conventional biomedical model is flawed and insufficient in addressing the complex interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors influencing pain experience. The presentation advocates for a Lifestyle Medicine Systems Approach to pain management, which focuses on the role of lifestyle factors, such as diet, exercise, stress management, and sleep, in pain relief and how that can massively help in all kinds of chronic  pain especially nociplastic pain . It emphasizes the importance of addressing Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) as they significantly contribute to chronic pain and calls for integrating lived experience into clinical practice. Please provide a feedback and comments on the podcast and any questions that you may have.If you enjoyed it please rate and leave a review on Apple podcasts and tell a friend about this show.Let me know what you think about the show and please recommend guests.The Pain Speak podcast is presented by Prof Deepak Ravindran, a NHS Consultant specialising in Pain and Lifestyle Medicine.

  • Overcoming Pain - Chronic pelvic pain - An overview
    Send us a textChronic Pelvic Pain and Lifestyle FactorsThis Notebook LM summary provides an overview of chronic pelvic pain based on a couple of key resources and a presentation that I gave on Chronic pelvic pain to health care professionals. I highlight the importance of a holistic approach that considers lifestyle factors, psychological well-being, and trauma-informed care. Remember, seeking professional medical advice and support is crucial for effective diagnosis and management of CPP.Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a common condition that affects millions of women worldwide. It is defined as intermittent or constant pain in the pelvic area for at least six months, unrelated to menstruation, intercourse, or pregnancy. CPP is a symptom, not a diagnosis, and can be caused by various factors, including endometriosis, fibroids, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and psychological factors.Challenges and Complexity of CPPDiagnosing and treating CPP can be challenging. A significant proportion of women with CPP have more than one diagnosis, and pain often increases with multisystem symptoms. Additionally, a substantial number of diagnostic laparoscopies yield negative results, and adhesions, while common findings, are not always the root cause of pain. In many instances, the underlying cause of CPP remains unclear so what is paramount is a validation of the patient symptoms and a  multidisciplinary holistic approach. This involves a combination of medical treatments, therapies, and lifestyle modifications. Pain management programmes can be beneficial, providing guidance, coaching, and support from a pelvic pain specialist. Trauma-Informed CareA significant proportion of women with CPP have experienced adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), which can have long-term health consequences, including chronic pain. Trauma-informed care is an important aspect of CPP management. This approach involves understanding the impact of trauma on patients, validating their experiences, and providing sensitive and supportive care.Resources for Further InformationEndometriosis UK: www.endometriosis-uk.orgPelvic Pain Support Network: www.pelvicpain.org.ukDepartment of Health Expert Patient Initiative: www.expertpatients.co.uk/www.livewellwithpain.co.ukCurable App – on all platformsThe Pelvic Pain Network - A collaborative of Physiotherapists with an active research interest in pePlease provide a feedback and comments on the podcast and any questions that you may have.If you enjoyed it please rate and leave a review on Apple podcasts and tell a friend about this show.Let me know what you think about the show and please recommend guests.The Pain Speak podcast is presented by Prof Deepak Ravindran, a NHS Consultant specialising in Pain and Lifestyle Medicine.
