The Latest Research Behind Phantom Pain   You may have heard the saying, "Mind over Matter" a few times in your life. I know I have, but did you know that it is more than just a saying? Did you know that our brains are capable of helping us cope when we struggle, especially when we deal with pain? Today I learned how the brain can actually help us changing the way we think and perceive the pain we feel. We have the ability to redirect and reconnect our brain waves to cope with phantom pain, or any pain, that we experience. Today, I was honored to have on Dr Felipe Fregni, professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School and Professor of Epidemiology at Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, as well as the Director of the laboratory of Neuromodulation at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital. He has been researching how the brain perceives pain and what is happening during bouts of pain to our brain. Dr Felipe Fregni, Harvard Professor   The hope is that if we learn how our brain works and how it changes during moments of pain or discomfort then we can start to use that information to better equip the individual to work through pain and eliminate it without medication! Wouldn't that be something! Studying the brain to find connections   Dr Fregni splits his time teaching at Harvard and working the lab at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital   Dr Fregni and his staff and students have been researching this topic for a while now and getting the data they need from participants, like myself, and they could use you too! Their goal is to create a device that you can wear to assist in pain elimination through brain waves. They started this study with bringing people into their lab to trial what they had created. Now they are onto phase 2 and getting new participants to work from home with their device. As an amputee I am excited to see research into phantom pain and how we deal with it and finding ways to cope without medication. Dr Fregni also mentioned that their research also branches into helping stroke victims and paralysis as well! When we figure out how pain is communicated within our body we can then begin to find ways to lessen or even eliminate it. One interesting thing we did touch on, which I stated at the very beginning was the mind over matter mentality. You may have heard me say that when I start hurting I tend to become active, I get moving and I find something to distract myself from thinking about the phantom pain. What Dr Fregni told me was that when we become active we start using our brain, we get neurons to fire and this makes for a healthy brain. So every time I'm struggling, my coping mechanism was to not think about the pain but to dive into something else. This is exactly what we should all be doing because we are creating connections in our brain, fire it up, and building it stronger. So mindset matters. Speaking to ourselves in positive ways matters. Even thinking about an activity we love to do creates connections in our brain for healing. What a powerful organ it is, indeed! I want to thank Dr Fregni for coming on and guiding us through how our brain is capable of helping us heal and for building this community of researchers to help those of us who are struggling with pain and need a better way to handle it. I look forward to seeing how your research builds a stronger and healthier tomorrow for us! Thank you! If you would like to take part in the clinical research happening right now, from the comfort of your own home you can reach out to Dr Fregni's department with the link below. I hope you all have a very blessed week. And as always until next time, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!!! Much love,     To see if you qualify to participate in their study please click HERE

  Summary At some point this medication may show its face on the Physiatry boards.  Whether or not Suzetrigine will appear on the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation boards, all of us need to know about this new class of analgesic. Brought to you by NRAP Academy, home of the PMRExam Board Prep Here, Dr. David Rosenblum delivered a comprehensive lecture about a new pain medication called Journavx (Suzetrigine). He discussed its mechanism of action as a NAV 1.8 receptor inhibitor, its clinical applications, contraindications, and dosing guidelines. Dr. Rosenblum emphasized that this non-opioid medication represents a new class of pain management drugs with no addiction potential. He also shared information about upcoming educational events, including ultrasound courses and various pain management conferences. The lecture included detailed information about drug interactions, safety considerations, and clinical trial results comparing Journavx to placebo and hydrocodone-acetaminophen combinations. Key findings from clinical trials showed that Jornavix achieved pain relief in 119 minutes compared to 480 minutes for placebo in abdominoplasty trials, and 240 minutes versus 480 minutes in bunionectomy trials. The recommended dosing is 50mg tablets twice daily, with an initial loading dose of 100mg. While the drug showed promising results for moderate to severe acute pain management, it did not demonstrate superiority over hydrocodone in clinical trials. Important contraindications include CYP3A inhibitors, and special considerations are needed for patients with hepatic impairment or those taking hormonal contraceptives. The medication should be taken on an empty stomach, either one hour before or two hours after food, and patients should avoid grapefruit juice while on this medication. For more infomation.... Chapters Introduction and Upcoming Events Dr. Rosenblum announced several upcoming events, including an ultrasound course in New York City on May 17th, 2025. He mentioned offering ultrasound and IV training for healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, ICUs, PAs, and hospital doctors. He also highlighted upcoming conferences including ASPN, Pain Week, Latin American Pain Society, New York, New Jersey Pain Congress, ASIPP, and EPA. Introduction to Journavx (Suzetrigine) Dr. Rosenblum introduced Suzetrigine (Journavx), a new 50mg tablet medication. He emphasized that this discussion was not sponsored by any pharmaceutical company but rather focused on educating about a new class of pain medication. He noted its potential importance as a future board examination topic. Mechanism of Action Dr. Rosenblum explained that Jornavx works by inhibiting the NAV 1.8 receptor. He detailed how the drug blocks sodium ions from entering pain-sensing neurons, disrupting action potential initiation and propagation. He emphasized that the drug is highly selective, binding over 31,000 times more selectively to NAV 1.8 than other NAV subtypes. Contraindications and Drug Interactions Dr. Rosenblum outlined various contraindications, particularly focusing on CYP3A inhibitors and inducers. He listed specific medications in each category and emphasized the importance of careful monitoring when prescribing Journavx alongside these medications. Clinical Trial Results and Dosing Guidelines Dr. Rosenblum presented clinical trial results showing Journavx's effectiveness in treating moderate to severe acute pain. He detailed the dosing guidelines: 50mg tablets twice daily, with an initial loading dose of 100mg. He emphasized the importance of taking the medication on an empty stomach and avoiding grapefruit juice. Q&A No Q&A session in this lecture

In this episode of Equine Assisted World, Rupert Isaacson speaks with Dr. Megan McGavern, a board-certified physician in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Megan shares the powerful story behind the founding of C.H.A.T.S.—Creative, Holistic, Adaptive, Therapeutic Solutions—and how it was born out of both professional insight and personal necessity.When her son Cole faced significant challenges, and medical professionals told her to accept that he might never regain functionality, Megan refused to give up. Drawing on her medical training, clinical experience, and deep intuition as a mother, she created C.H.A.T.S. as a space where children like Cole could thrive. C.H.A.T.S. is not about traditional therapy or horseback riding—it is about building relationship, regulation, and readiness to learn through purposeful, adaptive, equine-based engagement.What sets Megan apart is her ability to take science-based, evidence-backed practices—like Movement Method—and integrate them meaningfully into both therapeutic and clinical settings. After traveling to New Trails to learn Movement Method and Horse Boy Method firsthand from Rupert Isaacson, Megan returned home and applied what she had learned with her son Cole. The profound changes she witnessed led her to establish C.H.A.T.S. as a nonprofit organization. From there, she worked to bring Movement Method into the medical establishment, eventually helping to launch a neuroscience conference focused on the approach and its clinical applications.What You'll Learn in This Episode:From Despair to Innovation: A Mother's Mission (Starts at 01:45)The moment Megan was told to “accept the loss” regarding her son Cole's future.Why she decided to go beyond traditional care models.The founding of C.H.A.T.S. and how it gave Cole a new chance at life.Movement Method and Medical Practice (Starts at 20:10)How Megan found the Movement Method and incorporated it into her work.Practical ways she's brought it into institutional and clinical settings.The role of science—not mysticism—in shaping her therapeutic philosophy.C.H.A.T.S. in Action (Starts at 32:40)What makes C.H.A.T.S. distinct from other equine-assisted programs.Why it's focused on adaptability, safety, and authentic connection.How Megan uses observation, relationship, and responsiveness to meet each child's needs.The Dual Role: Mother and Medical Professional (Starts at 48:15)How personal experience reshaped her understanding of care.Advice for professionals who want to do more—but don't know how.Why being present often matters more than having all the answers.Memorable Moments from the Episode:Megan recounts hearing that her son might never regain function (04:02).The turning point where C.H.A.T.S. took form in response to Cole's needs (11:50).Integrating Movement Method into medical care (24:35).A reflection on letting go of "being the expert" to simply be present (53:20).Connect with Dr. Megan McGavern:

The introduction is done by Dr. Steven Flanagan, Chairperson of the Department of Rehabilitation at NYU Langone Health.  Sara Cuccurullo MD is Professor and Chairman, Residency Program Director in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine, Rutgers- Robert Wood Johnson Medical School; Medical Director, VP at JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute; and Physician in Chief of HMH Rehabilitation Care Transformation Services  Talya Flemming MD is Medical Director: Stroke Recovery Program, Post-COVID Rehabilitation Program, Aftercare Program ABMS, Brain Injury Medicine Certified JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinical Associate Professor, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Core Associate Professor, Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine. Part 2 Dr. Flemming described the functional results obtained from their intervention. They specifically chose the activity measure proposed for post-acute care, abbreviated as AM-PAC. It showed improvement over time and it allowed looking at specific subsections within rehabilitation, such as basic mobility, daily activity, and cognitive scores. An AM-PAC score is a recognized tool by Medicare used in multiple post-acute care settings. Dr. Cuccurullo indicated that according to an article published in 2011 in the journal Stroke, the all-cause mortality for stroke patients in the U.S. is 31%. In one year, the all-cause mortality in their program was 1.47%. Their results were published in the American Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. The paper received the Excellence in Research Writing Award for the most impactful article of the year. Significantly, the manuscript attracted the attention of Medicare officials who asked them to present their findings. CMS wanted to know if it can be proved that the stroke recovery program saves money, can they validate their previous improvement in mortality with more patients, and can they replicate the results at other institutions nationally. Drs. Fleming and Cuccurullo described what they did in response to these questions. A Question & Answer period followed.

The introduction is done by Dr. Steven Flanagan, Chairperson of the Department of Rehabilitation at NYU Langone Health. Sara Cuccurullo MD is Professor and Chairman, Residency Program Director in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine, Rutgers- Robert Wood Johnson Medical School; Medical Director, VP at JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute; and Physician in Chief of HMH Rehabilitation Care Transformation Services  Talya Flemming MD is Medical Director: Stroke Recovery Program, Post-COVID Rehabilitation Program, Aftercare Program ABMS, Brain Injury Medicine Certified JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinical Associate Professor, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Core Associate Professor, Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine. Part 1 Dr. Cuccurullo began by discussing their stroke recovery program, specifically investigating and analyzing the effects of a comprehensive initiative on all-cause mortality, function, and readmissions. She listed the learning objectives for today's grand round presentation. Strokes are the number one admission in their inpatient rehab facility. Twenty-two percent of their patients comply with going to the facility. Their patients have a finite resource for Medicare once they leave inpatient or the acute care setting. Payment caps compromise the ability to have outpatient therapies that prevent them from having a full recovery. Dr. Flemming pointed out that there is an overlap with patients who have neurologic disease after stroke as well as patients who have cardiac disease. So, they designed their program to combine both elements of neurorehabilitation and a modified cardiac rehabilitation program, which starts with an outpatient visit with a stroke physiatrist. Common challenges that need to be addressed are patients with: weakness on their one side versus the other, cognitive or attention deficits, poor safety awareness, and post-stroke fatigue. They decided that it would be important to collect medical and functional outcome data to see if the program could affect hospital readmissions, the recurrence of stroke, and overall mortality.
