// pain currency and negative feedback loops, then apply
// intentional temporal displacement to revalue financial futures.
// ============================================================
FUNCTION FinancialTemporalReDiscounting(Event, Parameters)

// Event: Financial event object
// { id, t0, narrative, financialData, linkedNodes, painIntensity?, feedbackMarkers? }

// - targetFutureState : desired reframed financial outcome
// - maxCurrency : clamp for C

When tingling feels like intense pain, look at the mindset—not just the nerves. Distress and unhelpful thoughts—not nerve severity—often drive pain intensity in intermittent paresthesia.

Is ultrasound guided intra-articular injection of corticosteroids effective in hip arthritis?
Study Design: The study conducted by Paskins et al. was a single-blinded, parallel-group, 3-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT).
Interventions: All three groups of patients received education and advice about medications, exercise, and weight loss. Additionally, two of the groups received ultrasound-guided hip injections. One group received lidocaine alone, while the other group received triamcinolone and lidocaine.
Pain Intensity: The study found a significant mean difference of -1.43 in pain intensity with ultrasound-guided injection of triamcinolone and lidocaine compared to conservative measures alone. This suggests the effectiveness of corticosteroid injections for hip osteoarthritis.
Conservative Measures: Education and advice about medications, exercise, and weight loss were provided to all groups. These conservative measures are commonly recommended for managing hip osteoarthritis.
Ultrasound-Guided Injections: The use of ultrasound guidance in administering hip injections allows for more precise targeting of the affected area, potentially improving the efficacy of the intervention.

Fantastic talk from @massihmoayedi @ #IASP2022 related to #cognition #pain & #salience. What a mindboggling experimental setup, but so cool and inventive! I wonder how salience/performance would be affected if you steadily increased #painintensity over the duration of the exp?
