Dr. Matthew Tyler returns to explore the layers of palliative care — what it is, what it isn't, and how it differs from hospice. We discuss everything from managing physical and existential pain to the role of family dynamics and coping skills in end-of-life care. Is pain at the end of life inevitable, and how can it be managed? What role can patients and families play in guiding medical decisions at the end of life? How can families and caregivers better cope with the complexities of serious illness? Whether you're supporting a loved one or navigating illness yourself, this conversation offers practical insight and hope. Dr. Tyler also introduces his new caregiver coaching services, designed to help families find clarity and confidence in uncertain times, especially when local palliative care is not available.https://howtotrainyourdoctor.com/https://www.facebook.com/people/How-to-Train-Your-Doctor/100095193314200/?sk=reels_tabhttps://www.instagram.com/howtotrainyourdoctor/https://www.youtube.com/@howtotrainyourdoctor

Using the parable of the blind men and the elephant, he illustrates the pitfalls of mistaking partial perspectives for the whole truth. Mark advocates for a values-based approach, emphasizing the importance of understanding patients' personal goals and experiences to provide meaningful care.*********************************************************************

if you have any feedback, please send us a text! Thank you!Host: Rita Agarwal, MD, FAAP, FASAGuests: Rakhi Dayal, MD, and Amber Borucki, MDWelcome to another episode of Vital Times, the California Society of Anesthesiologists' Podcast with your host Dr. Rita Agarwal.Pain is the most common reason that people seek medical care and since the beginning of time, we have searched for better ways to treat pain. For many years opium and its derivatives were the mainstay of pain management, with local anesthetics making an appearance in this country in the past century or so. While scientists, physicians, researchers, and industry have sought to find better medications and approaches, the onset of the opioid crises in early 2000s really sped up that mandate. The FDA has committed resources and funding to help these new treatments and as a result there are now several new drugs on the market.Joining me today to explore these new modalities are Dr. Rahki Dayal who is a Professor at the University of California, Irvine, double board-certified in anesthesiology and pain medicine. She chairs the Pain Committee for the California Society of Anesthesiologists and is the Program Director of Pain Medicine at UCI. Dr. Amber Borucki is an Associate Professor of Anesthesiology at Stanford University and a pediatric anesthesiologist and pain specialist from Stanford School of Medicine. She is also the newly elected Sectrtary/Treasurer of the Society for Pediatric Pain Medicine.On January 30 the FDA approved a new non-opioid pan medication for moderate to severe pain. In the past few years several new classes and types of medications have also been approved for use. These include Zynrelef-a combination of bupivacaine ( a long acting local anesthesthetic ) and meloxicam ( a long lasting NSAID), and Vocacapsacian a prodrug to capasacian that in at ;east one study has been shown to provide up to 96 hours of pain relief , when injected locally after bunionectomy surgery.Join us as we explore these medications and the newly released suzetrigine (Journavx) with our 2 experts. ReferencesNewly Approved Painkiller Provides Relief Without Addictionhttps://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-novel-non-opioid-treatment-moderate-severe-acute-pain A new long-acting analgesic formulation for postoperative pain management.Zhang W, Wu M, Shen C, Wang Z, Zhou X, Guo R, Yang Y, Zhang Z, Sun X, Gong T.Int J Pharm. 2024 Oct 25;664:124599. doi: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124599.

If you are someone who lives with pain, and you're wondering how yoga or mindfulness could help, this interview will offer plenty of concrete information. I think you will really appreciate Neil's hopeful and empowering message that, yes - we CAN change our pain. It's also a great listen if you teach movement or meditation, and you want to better serve students who may be coming to class to cope with pain. This episode is a great introduction to some of the science that can help you communicate with your students about pain, and confidently handle those moments when someone experiences pain during class. In this interview with Neil, you'll hear: why he's taken this approach of integrating yoga and mindfulness with pain science how movement changes pain by re-training the nervous system and influencing inflammation why it's beneficial to “turn towards” pain with mindful awareness, rather than trying to downplay or ignore it autonomic synchrony and how practicing yoga or mindfulness in a group may be beneficial for pain reduction and why improving pain takes more than just finding the physical cause and fixing the tissues. Neil explains some of the counter-intuitive aspects of how pain works, so we can move away from outdated concepts that may limit our potential recovery. We discuss the impact of dramatic, negative language (like “this joint is bone on bone” or “this disc is shredded).” And, he also talks about how yoga can provide a direct experience of being able to change your pain, which can be a powerful counterpoint to some of our common misconceptions.

Join the community waitlist Welcome to another episode of the Modern Pain Podcast. In this episode, Dr. Mark Kargela discusses the shortcomings of continuing education (Con Ed) in pain management and proposes solutions for clinicians.Key Topics:• Mismatch Between Con Ed and Clinical Practice: the environments of Con Ed courses often don't resemble real clinical settings, limiting their applicability in managing complex pain cases.• Isolation in Clinical Practice: Many clinicians find themselves isolated when applying modern pain science and techniques, lacking peer support and mentorship in their practices.• Logistical and Financial Challenges: Con Ed often imposes financial and lifestyle burdens on clinicians, making it difficult to integrate continuous learning into their lives.*********************************************************************

Are you ready to unlock the power of evidence-informed Yin Yoga in managing chronic pain? This fascinating episode wraps up our four-part series, illuminating how Yin Yoga can help regulate the nervous system and promote mindfulness. We journey through the meditative stages of a typical Yin class, revealing the transformative impact it can have on those grappling with persistent pain. A captivating discussion awaits you, exploring the role of Yin Yoga in overcoming pain and fostering a positive relationship with the body.Imagine if there was a way to untangle the knot of chronic pain from our self-identity. A groundbreaking study from 2003 used fMRI imaging to gain insights into this, revealing a compelling method known as a 30-second interoceptive exposure task. The process decouples pain from the self, leading to a remarkable reduction in pain intensity, duration, and associated anxiety. We delve into the fascinating findings of this study, shedding light on how it employs strategies that Yinsters are already using. Though perhaps with this information we can support those with persisting pain even better.We also dissect the influence of kinesiophobia or the fear of movement in managing chronic musculoskeletal pain. Drawing from a systematic review in 2018, we highlight the correlation between kinesiophobia, escalated pain intensity, and disability. The critical role of yoga teachers in shaping a positive environment and nurturing a supportive relationship with the body is emphatically discussed.  Join our vibrant Facebook community where we continue this enlightening conversation, sharing evidence, asking questions, and growing together. Engage in the exploration of Yin Yoga's benefits, especially for special populations like those dealing with chronic pain.

The role of the vagus nerve and nervous system in migraines reveals a fascinating connection between the gut-brain axis and the triggers of this central pain disease. 4. Science-backed nutrients and supplements for migraine relief including magnesium, which helps in relaxation and is involved in various bodily processes to promote balance. 5.

Many of my clients experience a pain flare during or after travel. Pain is so complex and multifaceted, so there is never any one reason that it rears it's ugly head. Often, when pain is flaring in a travel situation, it's because we have some anxiety and we aren't moving very much. This practice addresses both issues. I've chosen the stretches we all crave when we've been sitting in a car or airplane as well as regulation practices to help you calm your nervous systems to get some perspective or even relief. This practice is a quick and accessible practice that you can do just about anywhere in a chair. So pop in your earbuds for this quick practice!Since these poses are unfamiliar, I have created a pose gallery to accompany this practice.

This gentle but powerful practice explores a concept as well as the shoulder through movement and mindfulness.

When most of us hear the word acceptance, we think of giving up or giving in. Our culture makes a virtue of resisting, fighting, wriggling out of difficult circumstances. But there is enormous value in the practice of accepting first. Acknowledging is the first step in self compassion. This pod-practice is about moving forward with compassion, rather than squashing our feelings or disappointment or grief. We will explore poses that focus on the shoulders, chest and upper back as we progress through a gentle meditation. Our meditation is loosely based on the Tonglen or Lions' Roar practice from the Tibetan Buddhism.Some of the poses in this practice are a bit unfamiliar.

I'm sort of amazed, and appalled, about how much misinformation there is about neck pain. One really irksome myth is that if your neck is tight, some stretching will help bring relief and over time, this stretching will fix the tightness and the pain it is “causing”. Total horse$%I$. Sorry to all of those influencers who are peddling this myth. There are ways that we can use stretches as part of a pain care plan however, and this is what you will practice here. I've combined somatics, stretches some resistance and of course, breathing to facilitate a bit of relief in the short term. But I've also provided some education to help you understand how these strategies can help you over come this discomfort or pain in the long term. Enhance your understanding of chronic pain, as a yoga practicioner, teacher or as someone who lives with chronic pain, or loves someone who does.

Gratitude is a practice just like any other. It requires effort, even when it's challenging. But it's worth it.  People who commit to a more grateful existence experience better physical and mental health, more happiness and closer relationships. For this practice we will not look outside of self but deep within to the very building block of life, the cell. We will build a foundation of embodied gratitude FOR the body. This is a live practice event and is extended to provide plenty of time for you to marinade in the poses, the movements and the meditation. Props needed: Bolster, blocks, blanket and strapEnhance your understanding of chronic pain, as a yoga practicioner, teacher or as someone who lives with chronic pain, or loves someone who does.
