If you're someone who lives with pain and is trying to figure out the best therapies to utilize, you may be interested with Dr. Kathleen Sluka’s mechanism-based approach to pain management. Dr. Sluka is a neuroscientist and physical therapist who studies in neurobiology of chronic pain at the University of Iowa. She says the mechanism-based approach is also equally important if you're a practitioner who’s seeking a new and groundbreaking conceptual framework for evaluating the underlying cause of your patient's pain. Dr. Sluka’s lab has three very important goals - to improve pain management, to discover new therapies for pain management, and to improve the use of currently available treatments for chronic pain. Dr. Sluka discusses the five categories of pain mechanisms as well as the distinction between nociceptive pain, neuropathic pain, and a new term called nociplastic pain.
