TTI Medical Training School’s Post

Thanks to Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) for the invitation to join a dynamic panel discussion at #HCSRN2024. Highlights from the discussion of partnership with Kristin Carman, Mabel Crescioni, Kimberly Haugstad, Karen E Kippen, and Karen Margolis: *Partnership is a process. Start somewhere. Be willing to try and make mistakes. Keep at it. *Partnership requires humility. Cultivate humble inquiry as a skill and asset in all partnered work. *Partnership strengthens research by focusing us on the questions that really matter, helping us adapt and improve our approach, and helping researchers translate findings into practical language and practical use.

There exists a group of often-overlooked individuals whose work is INDISPENSABLE, in the intricate of the Healthcare world: Medical Laboratory Science Professionals. Within the controlled chaos of laboratories globally, they are the architects of precision and accuracy, decoding the complexities of cells, tissues, and bodily fluids to reveal the intricacies of health and disease. With steadfast dedication, they meticulously analyze samples, identify pathogens, and provide essential data that shapes medical decisions. Their role extends beyond mere analysis; it's about providing clarity amidst uncertainty and offering hope to patients and caregivers alike. During times of crisis, such as pandemics, their contribution becomes even more vital. They stand at the forefront, battling infectious diseases, working tirelessly to detect and track pathogens, and providing crucial information for public health responses. Despite the challenges they encounter – from tight deadlines to the pressure for unwavering accuracy – they remain resolute in their pursuit of excellence. Their profession is built on integrity, precision, and a profound sense of duty to the patients who rely on their expertise. As we commemorate Medical Laboratory Science Professionals' week, let's pause to acknowledge and honor their indispensable work. From the quiet confines of the laboratory to the forefront of medical advancement, they are the unsung heroes whose dedication ensures the health and well-being of communities worldwide. Happy Medical Laboratory Science Professionals week! #MLSWEEK2024

For those interested in pain research, please see the attached research articles done by Magstim collaborators! 1. Analgesic effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in patients with chronic low back pain. Ambriz‐Tututi, M., Alvarado‐Reynoso, B., & Drucker‐Colín, R. (2016). In this open-label, sham-controlled study, participants with chronic lower back pain were randomized to receive active rTMS (n = 44), sham (n = 12), or physical-therapy (n = 26). In the active group high frequency rTMS (20Hz) at 95% resting motor threshold was delivered to the left M1 for 5 sessions in week 1, followed by 8 further session across the 9 months duration of the study. After 1 week of treatment both the rTMS and physical-therapy groups demonstrated a significant reduction in pain levels, as measured on a visual analogue scale (VAS). However, by week 3 the rTMS group showed an 80% reduction in pain levels, which was significantly greater than the pain reduction achieved in the physical-therapy group. These reductions in VAS scores were maintained across the 9 months of the study for both rTMS and physical-therapy. 2. A 5-day course of rTMS before pain onset ameliorates future pain and increases sensorimotor peak alpha frequency. Nahian S Chowdhury, Khandoker Taseen, Alan Chiang, Wei-Ju Chang, Samantha K Millard, David A Seminowicz, and Siobhan M Schabrun Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has shown promise as an intervention for pain. An unexplored research question is whether the delivery of rTMS prior to pain onset might protect against a future episode of prolonged pain. Compared to sham, individuals who received active rTMS subsequently experienced lower pain on chewing and yawning. Although active rTMS increased PAF, the effects of rTMS on pain were not mediated by changes in PAF or CME. This study is the first to show that rTMS delivered prior to pain onset can protect against future pain and associated functional impairment. Thus, rTMS may hold promise as a prophylactic intervention for persistent pain. Please reach out if you have questions on how Magstim TMS could be used in pain research protocols! #neuroscience #neuromodulation #TMS #Pain
