Ep 9. Therapeutic Limitations

In this episode, we expand upon 'Number Needed to Treat', tying that concept into overall therapeutic limitations and some other examples beyond medications, including one you are definitely going to want to hear about - the effect of pain neuroscience education in and of itself.

So how much does understanding pain actually decrease pain? It depends, but not as much as you'd think...We'll introduce a study that teases this apart and share a few different ways to interpret this so you can see how no one therapy is the be all end all of pain.

Hopefully, this information helps you better understand what aspects of pain you're treating in different situations so you can set better expectations, and make better decisions about the overall treatment plan.
