@erinware.bsky.social et al. conducted a review of randomized clinical trials, finding no reliable evidence that pain neuroscience education plus any one physical therapy method boosts effectiveness vs. the single intervention alone for patients focused on pain & function: myumi.ch/pVJDg
Pain neuroscience education combined with any singular form of physical therapy intervention is not more effective than the single intervention itself: a systematic review
Systematic reviews (SRs) of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) on the efficacy and dosing of pain neuroscience education (PNE) suggest a lack of reliable RCTs. We sought to determine if PNE combined...

Joanne Hsu, director of the #SurveysOfConsumers, tells @businessinsider.com that Americans are well aware that #inflation has fallen, but prices haven't come down and consumers know that, too. She says, "People are broadly feeling pretty negative about the economy." myumi.ch/bV3WW

In this scoping review, @pngumich.bsky.social researchers highlight key methodological trends and gaps in the literature on the associations between DNA methylation and internalizing or externalizing traits or behaviors in children and adolescents.
Causes behind childhood mental health problems classed as internalizing (e.g., anxiety, depression) or externalizing (aggression, ADHD) aren't fully known, but epigentics may play a role. A new scoping review looks at how DNAm summary measures relate to these traits: doi.org/10.1016/j.bi...

Given the rising number of older adults with disability and dementia, unpaid caregivers are increasingly vital in the long-term care of older adults. SRC's Kira Birditt and co-authors use data from UAS-CLEAR to describe the experiences of family and non-family caregivers #GSA2025

@spattersearch.bsky.social & co-authors show that lacking close friends or wanting more is tied to higher loneliness for adults 50+. Less weekly contact also predicts loneliness. Women have more friends/contacts than men, but loneliness rates are similar by gender. #GSA2025
