📣 PhD Scholarship Alert 📣 3 year full-time PhD scholarship to work with world-class back pain researchers on the DREAM Trial - a large placebo-controlled trial of duloxetine for chronic sciatica. Applications close on 2 May, 2024! sydney.edu.au/scholarships/c… @msk_health
Elon Musk says disc replacement worked for him and recommended it to others, but what does the evidence say? @giovanni_ef and team explore the evidence in this @ConversationEDU article 👇👇 theconversation.com/elon-musk-says… @DrChristineLin @CGMMaher @DrIanHarris @zadro_josh
Musk has recommended people experiencing severe neck and back pain should consider disc replacement surgery. @giovanni_ef + colleagues (@Sydney_Uni, @UNSW) explain what the research says. theconversation.com/elon-musk-says…
“And if you’re presented with the choice between disc replacement and spinal fusion, you might want to consider a third alternative: not having surgery at all.” “Blew out a disc” yep, what NO-cebo
