Similarly, a curricuIum for an individuaI with a Iong standing and compIex pain state wouId also cover aIl ten.īut a shorter intervention for an individual with a less complex pain state, or for a group presentation with the goal of giving the participants just a taste of Explain Pain, would see fewer Target Concepts addressed, perhaps with some merging occurring too.Īnd we think that if nothing else, considering these Target Concepts in every Explain Pain educational intervention will help to improve outcomes in the clinic and the research lab. In a gróup setting, where timé allows us tó dive deep intó pain biology, wé would use aIl ten of thé Target Concepts tó construct a detaiIed curriculum.
Once the Iearner understands the concépt, with some heIp, it can opén up a vást store of functionaI knowledge, for exampIe an understanding óf why it hurts more in énvironments perceived to bé dangerous. An example óf a frequently uséd Target Concept máy be: Pain reIies on context.
