What Better Persistent Pain Care Actually Looks Like | Dr Nardia Klem
<p><strong>In this episode, we explore questions such as:</strong></p><p>Why does pain persist despite multiple high-quality treatments?</p><p>What does it actually mean to say pain is multifaceted, and how should that change clinical decision making?</p><p>How should clinicians communicate about pain in a way that is accurate, validating, and actionable?</p><p>What should clinics stop doing, start doing, and measure if they want to improve care?</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, we speak with <strong>Dr Nardia-Rose Klem</strong>, a physiotherapist and research academic at Curtin University whose work focuses on young people living with persisting pain, particularly the relationship between pain, mental wellbeing, and access to appropriate care. </p><p><br></p><p>She is involved in several important clinical translation and public education initiatives, including <strong>young painHEALTH</strong>, <strong>painHEALTH</strong>, and the <strong>Musculoskeletal Clinical Translation Framework</strong>, all of which aim to improve the way pain and musculoskeletal conditions are understood, communicated, and managed. Her research spans young people with chronic musculoskeletal pain, co-existing mental health conditions, pain care experiences, and qualitative work exploring patient experiences across musculoskeletal healthcare contexts. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Links mentioned</strong></p><p><strong>Profile and socials</strong></p><p><a href="https://staffportal.curtin.edu.au/staff/profile/view/nardia-rose-klem-21a49e04/">Curtin University staff profile</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/physio_nardia/">Instagram: @physio_nardia</a></p><p><strong>Websites and resources</strong></p><p><a href="https://youngpainhealth.com.au/">young painHEALTH</a></p><p><a href="https://painhealth.com.au/">painHEALTH</a></p><p><a href="https://www.musculoskeletalframework.net/">Musculoskeletal Clinical Translation Framework</a></p><p><a href="https://aci.health.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0003/212907/Orebro-musculoskeletal-pain-questionnaire-shortform.pdf">Örebro Musculoskeletal Pain Screening Questionnaire, short form</a></p><p><strong>Publications</strong></p><p><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39688968/">Characterizing phenotypes and clinical and health utilization associations of young people with chronic pain: latent class analysis using the electronic Persistent Pain Outcomes Collaboration database</a> </p><p><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40316036/">“It’s kind of just like a never-ending cycle”: Young people’s experiences of co-existing chronic musculoskeletal pain and mental health conditions</a> </p><p><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39445766/">Lived and care experiences of young people with chronic musculoskeletal pain and mental health conditions: a systematic review with qualitative evidence synthesis</a> </p><p><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39250737/">A Prospective Qualitative Inquiry of Patient Experiences of Cognitive Functional Therapy for Chronic Low Back Pain During the RESTORE Trial</a> </p><p><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32732567/">What Influences Patient Satisfaction after TKA?
