It's exactly like with PACE, isn't it. Even the most optimistic possible interpretation of PACE and the like is that "cbt/get helps some people...
>>"the strongest predictor of persistent pain" Seems like typical abuse of a statistical term-of-art: implying causation due to temporal...
It's not about marginalizing patient experiences. It's about demanding the production of reliable evidence. BPS goofs have abused 'patient...
Exactly. This tees up so easily for a dose-response study. I don't get why people don't understand that, regardless of whether an intervention is...
