Episode 72
Wednesday, 4 November, 2026
Like most facets of correctional healthcare, pain management is influenced by complexities on both sides of the exam room door.For this month's discussion- inspired by Chris' recent co-presentation on pain management for the American College of Correctional Physicians Conference- we explore the environmental obstacles to effective pain management in incarcerated settings, the need for more data, and the underutilization of non-pharmacologic treatments. We also drill down on the three types of pain, multimodal analegesia, trauma in pain assessment, and spotlight a few emerging pain therapies.Before that, the medication headlines:Juvmo for adults with Parkinson's DiseaseOnswik, the second weekly basal insulin approved in the USThe latest osteoarthritis recommendations from the American College of RheumatologyUpgraded migraine prevention guidelines from the American Academy of Neurology and American Headache SocietyAnd we finish up with a look back at a "shocking" non-pharmacologic pain treatment from ancient Rome.Link to the full show notes with references for further reading.Sponsor Links:www.opticsclinical.comwww.sapphire-health.comMusic in this Episode:The Retro Synth by Art HaizVitals & Headlines (Suno AI)Breezy Thoughts (Suno AI)Trivia Time Ticker (Suno AI)
