New research from Wilson Ray, MD (@ZackRayLab), Jacob Greenberg, MD (@JGreenberg_MD), Chenyang Lu, PhD, and colleagues shows that new machine learning methods can more accurately gauge how patients may recover from lower back surgery.: https://t.co/IyYskc627r

So excited to see this out! EMA pain research is exploding, but there is little evidence that momentary measures are reliable, valid, and/or useful for predicting pain outcomes.
Original: Madelyn Frumkin et al. show that the brief 3-item momentary Pain Catastrophizing Scale (mPCS) is reliable and valid for momentary assessment - mPCS was associated with ⏠postsurgical pain - mPCS predicted less improvement in postop pain Full:

Congratulations, Saad! Great work!
Congratulations to our postdoc @SaadJaveedMD for receiving the Young Investigator Award from @AOSpineNA. As part of this award, Saad and the @ZackRayLab team will develop bioresorbable devices to promote #spine fusion.

Another @JAMANetworkOpen publication from the Zack Ray Lab, which developed a clinical decision support tool for early nerve transfer surgeries in patients with cervical spinal cord injury. Congratulations to @SaadJaveedMD on this impactful work! @WashUNeurosurg
This clinical prediction rule for prognosis of patients with cervical spinal cord injuries uses sub-acute neurological data to predict upper limb recovery; this may guide early treatment decisions, eg. reconstructive surgeries and acute clinical trials.

Nerve transfer surgery may be able to help regain upper limb function reanimation after subacute and chronic paralysis in patients with cervical spinal cord injury; larger trials are needed. https://t.co/dOqQ9O5ET3
