For those interested in pain research, please see the attached research articles done by Magstim collaborators! 1. Analgesic effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in patients with chronic low back pain. Ambriz‐Tututi, M., Alvarado‐Reynoso, B., & Drucker‐Colín, R. (2016). In this open-label, sham-controlled study, participants with chronic lower back pain were randomized to receive active rTMS (n = 44), sham (n = 12), or physical-therapy (n = 26). In the active group high frequency rTMS (20Hz) at 95% resting motor threshold was delivered to the left M1 for 5 sessions in week 1, followed by 8 further session across the 9 months duration of the study. After 1 week of treatment both the rTMS and physical-therapy groups demonstrated a significant reduction in pain levels, as measured on a visual analogue scale (VAS). However, by week 3 the rTMS group showed an 80% reduction in pain levels, which was significantly greater than the pain reduction achieved in the physical-therapy group. These reductions in VAS scores were maintained across the 9 months of the study for both rTMS and physical-therapy. 2. A 5-day course of rTMS before pain onset ameliorates future pain and increases sensorimotor peak alpha frequency. Nahian S Chowdhury, Khandoker Taseen, Alan Chiang, Wei-Ju Chang, Samantha K Millard, David A Seminowicz, and Siobhan M Schabrun Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has shown promise as an intervention for pain. An unexplored research question is whether the delivery of rTMS prior to pain onset might protect against a future episode of prolonged pain. Compared to sham, individuals who received active rTMS subsequently experienced lower pain on chewing and yawning. Although active rTMS increased PAF, the effects of rTMS on pain were not mediated by changes in PAF or CME. This study is the first to show that rTMS delivered prior to pain onset can protect against future pain and associated functional impairment. Thus, rTMS may hold promise as a prophylactic intervention for persistent pain.

One of the more important, if not THE most important event in the #FHIR calendar is HL7® FHIR® DevDays, held each year in June. This is where FHIR professionals from around the globe get together (in person or as virtual participants) to discuss all thing FHIR and to attend lectures, how-to seminars and more. For those who cannot attend for any reason, 6 months after the conference, Firely releases all the videos from the event. This is a really great opportunity to get all the content from the conference without paying a dime! We here at Outburn have learned a lot from previous years' vidoes and we already know we again this year. In fact, it is now 6 months after, once more, which mean - more free videos! With over 140 talks in the 2023 even, you are sure to find something that will pique your interests. We would recommend Liat Bielitsky's talk on "Israel shared clinical research platform powered by FHIR" (https://lnkd.in/dq5XB8ny). Perhapse you'd like to listen to Grahame Grieve talk about R5 (https://lnkd.in/duq5Pnre), or a riveting session of student pitches (https://lnkd.in/dTJaE48j), just to name a few. There is something for everyone: devs, implementors and execs. What are you waiting for? All the videos are found here: https://lnkd.in/dcXtK3HB From all of us at outburn, we wish you a lovely weekend!
