This podcast is truly a must-listen episode!

 

Dr Russell Chandler has a conversation with one of the greats in Pain Management, and one-half of the Zero Pain Philosophy team, Dr Matt Gurney. 

 

Matt discusses why he and Dr Carl Bradbrook conceived of the idea for Zero Pain Philosophy.  We delve into the reasons why they believed that there was a need for such an educational platform. 

 

Matt goes into detail on the differences between acute and chronic pain.  He explains the dysregulated pain physiology in maladaptive pain, and at which levels of the pain pathway pharmaceutical against can act. 

 

Using the ‘ladder’ concept Dr Gurney suggests a process whereby the correct drug may be chosen at the correct time. 

 

Recent controversies concerning anti-NFG-monoclonal antibodies and NSAIDs are covered.  Matt also has something to say about gabapentinoids. 

 

Finally, some take homes that can be applied immediately are offered.
