Hands On Hands Off Research - Moving Patient’s Attention Away From Pain (Seethaler & Vickers)
Dr. Carly Seethaler (E-mail, X) & Dr. Ryan Vickers (E-mail, Website) are interviewed by AAOMPT Pelvic Floor SIG president Dr. Helene Bengtsson on their 2023 AAOMPT Conference Break Out Session titled, “Managing Pain Perception through Expectancy Violations and Attention Alterations.” This episode would be interesting for all clinicians to spark curiosity in the therapeutic power of how the process of expectation setting with our patients can lead to improved patient subjective pain reports and self-perceived functional status. Here is the 2017 article referenced in the interview.
