Lower back pain is something most of us have experienced at some point. Whether it's from sitting too long, lifting something heavy, or just the wear and tear of daily life, it's a common issue. But with so many treatments available, which ones actually work? A team of researchers set out to answer this question in a massive study published in BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine. Gathering data from hundreds of previous studies, the researchers analysed 301 randomized controlled trials, covering 56 different treatments for low back pain. These treatments ranged from exercise and spinal manipulations to medications like NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and antidepressants. To make the study even more precise, they divided the results into two categories: Acute low back pain (pain lasting less than 12 weeks). Chronic low back pain (pain lasting 12 weeks or more). Then, they compared each treatment to a placebo to see if it actually provided pain relief. The good news is that some non-surgical treatments do work, though not as dramatically as you might hope. For acute low back pain, NSAIDs (like ibuprofen) were the only treatment found to be effective, with a small but measurable pain reduction. For chronic low back pain, five treatments stood out: Exercise: Physical movement tailored to strengthen the back and improve flexibility. Spinal manipulative therapy: Techniques often used by chiropractors to adjust the spine. Taping: Using supportive tape to stabilize muscles and joints. Antidepressants: Certain medications that seem to reduce pain perception. TRPV1 agonists: A class of treatments that target pain receptors. Each of these treatments provided modest pain relief, meaning they worked better than a placebo, but not by much. What Doesn't Work? Some common treatments, surprisingly, did not provide significant pain relief. For acute low back pain, these treatments were found not to be effective: Exercise (which works better for chronic pain but not short-term pain). Glucocorticoid injections (steroid shots that are sometimes used for inflammation). Paracetamol (acetaminophen) (commonly recommended but found to be ineffective in this study). For chronic low back pain, these treatments failed to provide significant benefits: Antibiotics (sometimes prescribed for infections that might cause pain, but no clear benefit). Anaesthetics (numbing agents that didn't prove effective for long-term relief). Many treatments had inconclusive results, meaning there wasn't enough strong evidence to say whether they truly help. These included: Acupuncture Massage Heat therapy Laser therapy Electromagnetic therapy This doesn't necessarily mean they don't work, just that more high-quality research is needed. So, if you have low back pain and are looking for non-surgical options, the research suggests: If your pain is short-term, NSAIDs may help. If your pain is chronic, consider exercise, spinal manipulative therapy, taping, antidepressants, or TRPV1 agonists. Some treatments commonly recommended (like paracetamol and steroids) might not be as effective as previously thought. Many alternative treatments show promise but need better studies to confirm their benefits. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We kicked off the week asking people what the most painful thing theyve ever experienced is. Wip reckoned it was getting his back lasered but a caller put him to shame after explaining she’d had her head drilled into without any anaesthetic. Plus we had Rosso and David Wenham join us and we’re only week away from Backyard Cricket! What a week! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week it was a huge pleasure to be able to welcome Carl Mika, Professor of Māori and Indigenous Philosophies from Aotearoa, the country now known as New Zealand. As you can probably guess from the title of this episode, this conversation with Carl went pretty deep pretty quickly! That's because underlying the most apparently basic concepts like learning or logic that people use all the time are some pretty fundamental assumptions about the way the world is. And they're certainly not universal to all humans. So what does educating our young people in how to read their worlds mean in this case?Carl Mika is from the Tuhourangi iwi and is Professor of Māori and Indigenous Philosophies, and Head of School of Aotahi: School of Māori and Indigenous Studies, University of Canterbury. His published work includes Indigenous Education and the Metaphysics of Presence was published in 2017, Routledge), along with many articles and chapters, on the issues of colonisation and reductionism; Māori concepts of nothingness and darkness in response to an Enlightenment focus on clarity; mātauranga Māori and science. Carl teaches and researches in educational philosophy and mātauranga Māori, the law, and global studies, as well as aspects of Western philosophy. In 2024, Carl was awarded the University of Canterbury Research Medal. Also In 2024, he was recipient of the University of Canterbury Faculty of Arts Kairangahau Māori Award for research in Māori philosophies (both traditional and contemporary) and Māori methodologies. He is also a Fellow of the Philosophy of Education Society of Australasia (PESA). You can find further links to Carl's work here: https://profiles.canterbury.ac.nz/Carl-Te-Hira-Lewis-Mika

In today's episode, we are back with Olivia (she/her) as she shares her two birth stories. Olivia (@physio.therapeutic.yoga) is a women's health physio, yoga and pilates instructor, and was on the podcast last week chatting all things pelvic floor.  Olivia is also a mum to two beautiful boys and she shares her journey bringing them both earthside. Olivia's first birth was a planned homebirth, supported by private midwives. At 41+3 weeks she ended up transferring to hospital and had a caesarean section under general anaesthetic, meaning she was asleep for the birth of her son and woke up separated from him in recovery. Olivia speaks openly about how heartbreaking this was for her and discusses the process of coming to terms with her birth going so differently to how she hoped and prepared for. She goes on to describe her second birth, a vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) which she had in hospital with a private obstetrician. Olivia speaks so beautifully about how she holds space for her two different births, and we feel so honoured that she chose to share her birth stories with us. We hope her stories make you feel less alone if you have faced similar circumstances.  If this episode brings anything up for you and you would like some extra support, we have listed some resources below:  PANDA - an organisation that supports the mental health of parents and families.

In this conversation with Luca Carenzo, we delve into the complexities and challenges surrounding Exercise Associated Collapse (EAC). Drawing from a recent publication in the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport titled "An Unusual Case of Marathon-related Exercise-associated Collapse: Case Report and Some Considerations for Medical Care at Endurance Mass Participation Events," we unravel a fascinating case that sheds light on the importance of a thorough diagnostic approach and multi-disciplinary collaboration in EAC management. Luca, an esteemed Anaesthetic and Critical Care consultant from Milan, Italy, shares his insights on empirically proven treatments for EAC and how this unique case has reshaped his perspective on the differential diagnoses in EAC. We explore the significance of patient-focused research, the power of intra-specialty collaboration, and the potential for EAC collated databases to advance our understanding of this complex condition. With a rich background working at The Royal London Hospital Adult Critical Care Unit, participating in mission work with Doctors without Borders, and serving as a faculty member at World Extreme Medicine, Luca brings a wealth of expertise to the discussion. Currently, he works at the Instituto Clinico Humanitas, Department of Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine in Milan, and serves as a consultant for iHelp, an Italian critical care company dedicated to mass event medical care. Join us for an enlightening exploration of EAC that will challenge your assumptions and inspire a more comprehensive approach to patient care in endurance events.

For South Australian anaesthetist Richard 'Harry' Harris, cave diving was just a hobby and a passion. After starting in the mid 80s, his love of exploration and adventure took him on many journeys, exploring caves and shipwrecks across the world.  But in 2018, the unique combination of Harry's professional and person lives led to the rescue of 12 boys and their coach from the Tham Luang cave in Northern Thailand.  He's reluctant to be called a hero - but that's exactly what he is. It was one of the riskiest rescue operations of all time, but he knew he had to get the boys back to their parents, one way or another.  LINKS Listen to Harry's Real Risk podcast at realriskpodcast.com Follow Harry on Instagram at @realriskpodcast Follow Ant on Instagram, X, and Facebook Learn more about Ant on his website antmiddleton.com Follow Nova Podcasts on Instagram for videos from the podcast and behind the scenes content – @novapodcastsofficial.

Hi Everyone, Join Siv and I as we sit down to discuss a couple of interesting obstetric related topics. The first is the pharmacology around the choice and strength of local anaesthetics used in epidural analgesia - thanks Siv. The second part we discuss a very large pragmatic study in the New England Journal of Medicine of 11000 women studying the use of tranexamic acid as a prophylaxis during caesarean surgery (elective and emergency). Spoiler alert it didn't show any difference (death or transfusion). Thanks Siv!

Thanks for tuning into this week's episode of One For The Road. This week I am joined by doctor and menopause specialist Rebecca Lewis, as we discuss the links between alcohol consumption and the exacerbation of the symptoms of menopause. Rebecca qualified from Guy's Medical School and initially pursued a career in Anaesthetics gaining FRCA in 1996. She then changed specialty to General Practice (MRCGP 2000) having been interested in women's health and gained DRCOG in 1998. During her time in General Practice, she became interested in menopause and by how dramatically it could affect individuals. She found this the most rewarding area of medicine to be involved in as once a woman is correctly diagnosed and treated with the right type and dose of HRT their life can be transformed and needless suffering stopped.  As a result, she is now passionate about improving education and knowledge about menopause, not only within medicine but in the workplace and society as a whole. Her aim is to make menopause a positive experience not hampered by symptoms so that women can be allowed to get on and enjoy healthy, active lives for many years ahead.If you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me on the instahandle @Soberdave https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/ or via my website https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice for Dr. Rebecca.https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-lewis-812784204https://instagram.com/dr.rebecca.lewis?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==https://www.balance-menopause.com/https://www.balance-menopause.com/balance-app/www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-serviceshttps://nacoa.org.uk/Show producer- Daniella Attanasio-MartinezInstagram - @TheDaniellaMartinezhttps://www.instagram.com/thedaniellamartinez/www.instagram.com/grownuphustle/ Learn more about your ad choices.

With SpaceX's Starship blowing up, and ispace's lander crashing into the moon, in the last week two of the most exciting missions of the year have failed. The team finds out what went wrong, and how long it'll be until these missions can try again.Fish farts and genital stridulation - the team shares a beautiful underwater soundscape of British ponds, recorded using a hydrophone. They learn about the daily acoustic activity cycles of ponds, and find out why researchers are collecting these sounds.Hypnosis is becoming a more mainstream part of surgery, with patients being eased into operations with suggestive language and calming phrases. The team finds out how it's helping to supplement normal anaesthetics, reducing pain and anxiety.2024 may be the year we breach 1.5 degrees of global warming. Despite dramatic weather events over the last few years, the Earth has actually been in a cooling period called La Niña. So as we enter an El Niño, a period of warming, the team says we should brace for more intense, record-breaking heat. It comes as ocean warming hits new, and very concerning highs.Was Rosalind Franklin really the “wronged heroine” of DNA? Did Francis Crick and James Watson really swindle her out of her share of the credit for the breakthrough discovery of DNA's double helix structure? That's what Watson's famous book ‘The Double Helix' would have you believe.

There is a massive trend of Dentists ditching ID blocks in favour of articaine buccal infiltrations. For many that are still using ID blocks routinely, they are afraid of using Articaine due to fear of paraesthesia. Should we be doing less ID blocks? And when we do, is it ACTUALLY harmful to use articaine or is that a myth? I have to admit, the main reason I heavily switched to buccal articaine was to avoid ID blocks. Dr. Wayne William, our straight-talking, no-BS Prosthodontist guest will bust some myths and improve your daily delivery of safe and effective local anaesthesia. In this episode he taught us the Crestal Intraosseous Approach (CIA), a technique developed by Dr. Wayne to improve our buccal infiltrations. https://youtu.be/LbOxlXIZCkw Check out this full episode on YouTube Download Protrusive App on iOS and Android and Claim your Verifiable CPD/CE by answering a few questions + You can get EARLY ACCESS to the episode + EXCLUSIVE content The Protrusive Dental Pearl:  Check out the couple of videos I posted recently on YouTube and on the app https://youtu.be/yFfKVLmSr5Q Robin Hood Dentistry - a careful and well-considered enameloplasty https://youtu.be/3QLby2U_W3E No More High Restorations 2023 Update - Stop Grinding Away Your Composites!

Jaz's Introduction: I'm actually, I wouldn't say afraid. I'm not afraid of doing ID blocks. I'm just do them way less because I'm afraid of some of the POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS that you see in papers and in opinion articles about the potential risk of paraesthesia and other complications from ID blocks, and therefore I've been a bit put off. So what I did many years ago is I started to do more and more articaine infiltrations, buccally, and to be fair like I told Wayne, Dr. Wayne Williams, the prosthodontist who's a fantastic straight talking guests. I love straight talking guests. Right? You're going to love him too. And I shared with him that, look, I only do about one ID block a month. A) Because I'm getting so much success with my buccal articaine. But B) Because I'm being overly cautious, I'm really trying to prevent it. Because I think this scare mongering has worked on me. I am a little bit worried about the risk and the more ID blocks you do, the more you increase your risk or so I thought, because there's so much we talk about in this episode in terms of the power of a buccal, articaine, but also, knowing when to respect and knowing when that might not be serving your patient the best, and why he should be perhaps doing some more ID blocks. And in fact, Wayne even says that he's a huge advocate of articaine for ID block. So we're going to cover a lot of controversial topics and as you heard already, Wayne is no stranger to controversy and I love that so much. One thing I really respect about Wayne is that he helped to develop the CIA, the Crestal Intraosseous Approach. I had to really,

A lack of anaesthetic technicians in Canterbury is being put down to a toxic work environment, shortage of trained staff and overwhelming workloads. Only 73 percent of planned surgeries are currently being completed in the region due to the shortages. Rachel Graham has more.

Today I am excited to be joined by Dr. Nic Stokes. Nic is a bit of a newfound kindred spirit. She is an Anaesthetic doctor working in London - who, like me - has started to deeply question the current disconnected, disembodied, disempowering western approach and her role within it.Nic is an anesthetic and intensive care doctor who has worked in the NHS for the last 8 years. Her early career has involved working in the field of global health, having worked in refugee camps in Greece, Uganda, and Bangladesh. This interest led her to start a radio show on London's SohoRadio 4 years ago called Global Health Global Beats, which intersperses music from around the world with conversations in healthcare. She is now interested in how we give people the tools to be well and offload the healthcare systems. She has recently become a breathwork instructor and strongly believes that community saunas and breathwork are key components to improving people's health.Join Dr. Nic and I as we talk about how Nic has come to view the Western Medical System and the challenges of challenging that system. This is a thoughtful and connecting conversation you won't want to miss out on!

In this episode I chat to Mel Wilson who shares her two birth experiences alongside her challenging postpartum periods. Her first birth was an emergency caesarean under general anaesthetic which left her with lots of unanswered questions. She talks in detail about the lack of connection she experienced with her firstborn and the subsequent dismay and guilt she carried throughout postpartum. She opted for a planned caesarean with her second baby despite being persistently encouraged to attempt a VBAC. When her baby was five months old her marriage broke down and she shares the overwhelm and silver linings of being a working single mother with two little ones.   It's here! My new book, The Complete Australian Guide to Pregnancy and Birth, is available for purchase now. This book covers everything you need as you journey through pregnancy and prepare for a positive birth experience. --> Get yours today. I hope you love it.

This piece looks at how The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) is taking an active role in perioperative medicine and surgery; addressing unanswered questions and ensuring research is both inclusive and extensive in the UK health industry. How have the NIHR moved medicine forward and what lessons can be learned from the recent COVID-19 crisis? Presented by Lucy Chappell, Professor, Chief Scientific Adviser to the Department of Health and Social Care and Chief Executive of the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) with contributions and questions from the audience and panel including; Mike Grocott, Professor of Anaesthesia and Critical Care in Southampton and Director of the NIHR Biomedical Research Center in Southampton, Guy Ludbrook, Professor of Anaesthesia at the University of Adelaide and Royal Adelaide Hospital and Ramani Moonesinghe OBE, Professor of Perioperative Medicine at University College London and a Consultant in Anaesthetics and Critical Care Medicine at UCL Hospitals.

If you are currently pregnant and feel like you're more sensitive to traumatic stories, you may want to listen to this episode at a later date. However, if you are a midwife, student midwife or care provider, consider Steph's story essential listening because it highlights the importance of woman-centred care - even the power of a simple hand hold - in one of the most traumatic birth experiences. After an induction, Steph experienced a cord prolapse and had an emergency caesarean under general anaesthetic. She talks at length about the spectrum of care she received, the importance of support and debriefing with your birth team and her mental health in postpartum.  I'm counting down the weeks till my new book, The Complete Australian Guide to Pregnancy and Birth, is published. It covers everything you need as you journey through pregnancy and prepare for a positive birth experience. --> Pre-order it  now.

In episode 342 I talk to Casey about her three caesarean births. Casey's story really highlights the importance of listening to your intuition, advocating for yourself and seeking continuity of care. In her first pregnancy, she entered the third trimester with migraines and persistent vomiting. After presenting to hospital for the second time, she was insistent on staying overnight before being discharged and she subsequently saved her baby's life. Within hours Casey was given a general anaesthetic, birthed her baby via caesarean and was diagnosed with preeclampsia and Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes and Low Platelets Syndrome (HELLP) syndrome. It was a traumatic experience and it informed her next two pregnancies where she prioritised continuity of care, sought the guidance of high risk obstetricians and experienced positive caesarean births.

In today's episode Eloise takes us through her eventful pregnancy journey. Her pregnancy was a surprise and at eight weeks she learned she was pregnant with twins (two sacs, one placenta). She opted to take things day by day instead of getting too concerned about what life would look like with two babies. Her calm and grounded nature definitely helped when she was diagnosed with a blood clot in the artery leading to her cervix at 30 weeks. Later that day, her twins were diagnosed with twin to twin transfusion syndrome (TTTTS) and at 31 weeks she birthed her babies via caesarean while under general anaesthetic. Eloise talks at length about her NICU experience, bringing her baby girls home after nine weeks in hospital and how she juggles breastfeeding twins.
