Comment:
This is what the original Canadian Criteria paper says with regard to the pain criterion:
"Pain:* There is a significant degree of myalgia. Pain can be experienced in the muscles and joints and is often migratory in nature. Often there are significant headaches of new type, pattern or severity.

*There is a small number of patients who have no pain or no sleep dysfunction but no other diagnosis fits except ME/CFS. A diagnosis of ME/CFS should only be entertained when this group has an infectious illness type onset."

📢 Updated NHS learning module on severe ME/CFS now available

The NHS has launched an updated version of its third online learning module: Supporting people with severe ME/CFS.

This new version has been developed in response to feedback and aims to better support patient care and safety.

The module appears to be publicly accessible, although you’ll need to create an account to log in and view it. We are aware that it is not the most straightforward system, but we are pleased to see that access to the module hasn't been restricted.

We’ve heard some early feedback that this is a positive improvement on previous versions. We are currently reviewing the updated module in detail and will continue to share any feedback or concerns.

Low back pain and widespread body pain are among the most common reasons patients seek care.

Most cases of low back pain are non-specific, meaning there isn’t a clear injury or disease causing the pain. Clinicians also look for “red flag” conditions that may signal a more serious problem.

Conditions like fibromyalgia and nociplastic pain remind us that pain isn’t always about tissue damage. Sometimes the nervous system itself becomes more sensitive to pain signals.

These are some of the key concepts Theresa Mallick-Searle will discuss this week at AAPM Pain Connect, Thursday at 2 PM
