AI trained with input from experts: scientists, clinicians and patients, very carefully and cautiously may solve problems instead of creating new ones. See our paper.

@netphys1 et al. argue that AI and machine learning could transform chronic pain care by identifying objective biomarkers and patient subtypes, though rigorous validation and clinical integration remain essential. Learn more in #PAIN bit.ly/4cIZDpl

-Explainable AI is essential; black-box systems undermine clinical trust and patient autonomy
-Transdisciplinary teams are a necessity, not a nicety, for equitable pain care

-Transdisciplinary teams are a necessity, not a nicety, for equitable pain care
-AI/ML can help us move toward personalized, scalable pain care, but needs to be built with human oversight to be most effective

No one knows enough about the brain to dismiss any signal as epiphenominal. When someone says "epiphenominal", I hear "doesn't fit my theory". If a theory can't explain data, the theory is the problem, not the data.

New research using AI and MRI on the lower leg points to a simple takeaway: bigger calf muscles can push down harder at the ankle—think a stronger push when pointing your toes or pushing off when you walk. Extra fat inside the muscle doesn’t.
