Check out articles like “Fear of progression, imagery, interpretation bias, and their relationship with endometriosis pain” by @JemmaLTodd et al. in #PAIN bit.ly/3B1HHG1 #painawarenessmonth #painisreal #endo
@JemmaLTodd et al. find that imagery and interpretation bias were associated with greater fear of disease progression, which was in turn associated with greater pain interference in people with endometriosis. Learn more in #PAIN bit.ly/3B1HHG1 #painawarenessmonth #endo
Researchers at the University of Sydney would like to understand experiences of people living with chronic pain, including how pain pain might change over time, and psychological wellbeing. This 1-hour study involves an online survey and a 7-day diary. tinyurl.com/jtb8ndvr

Very proud of @BrydeePickup explaining the development of a new measure to assess interpretation bias for people with endometriosis. #ACBM2024 @CbmAssociation
So proud! Well done Brydee

In another study, myself (@AlexandreHeeren), @MouguiamaNelson, & Rich McNally explored how climate anxiety and its functional impairments interact with one another and with climate change experience, pro-environmental behaviors & worry: doi.org/10.1016/j.janx…
In their study, Jordon Mathers-Jones & @JemmaLTodd tested whether differential patterns of selective attention towards climate-related stimuli might explain the inconsistent relationship between climate anxiety and pro-environmental behaviors: 👉🏼 doi.org/10.1016/j.janx…
This is about time that women’s pain is taken seriously. I’m glad that the government is seeing this as a priority. I fear it will take longer than anticipated to deal with the invalidation women receive from the system. @JemmaLTodd @BrydeePickup @thomaswoldhuis @MilenaGandy
It is time we took women’s pain seriously Thank you to everyone who has worked for DECADES to make this happen theguardian.com/australia-news…
Does the way you interpret pain during an acute pain episode affect long/term pain outcomes? We address this question in a longitudinal study of people with acute pain led by @JemmaLTodd and with @BrydeePickup A 🧵 journals.lww.com/pain/abstract/…
Proud to publish our findings that 1) highlight the elevated rates of insomnia and fatigue in endometriosis and 2) show fear of progression and depression contribute to these experiences. Read all about it below, open access! @DaelinCB @JemmaLTodd doi.org/10.1016/j.jpsy…
