📊 Chronic Pain Risk Prediction — A Nature Medicine study using UK Biobank data developed a prognostic score predicting chronic pain spread based on biopsychosocial factors like sleeplessness, stress, and BMI >30. 🔗

💊 Suzetrigine (Journavx™) — A new dawn in pain relief! 🌅 A non-opioid Nav1.8 sodium channel blocker for moderate to severe postoperative pain — effective in abdominoplasty and bunionectomy, with lower addiction risk. 🔗

⚡ Ketamine — Provides intermediate-term pain relief by targeting the affective-motivational aspect of pain. Also shows promise for depression, PTSD, and anxiety, possibly via BDNF and mTOR pathways. 🔗

💉 IV Sedation — still used in >40% of lumbar ESI, though guidelines say it’s unnecessary for most pain procedures (RFA, plexus neurolysis, SCS). Some patients still benefit from short-acting sedation to improve block accuracy. https://t.co/bPSr3z7g74
