PainSci notes

An excellent article about how hard it is to get people to accept new evidence. In particular (and most relevant to PainScience.com), Aschwanden makes an example of research showing that ibuprofen does not prevent athletes from getting sore muscles (see Nieman 2006). She also uses back pain as an example, focusing the disconnect between guidelines and practice, especially when it comes to imaging.
