Are you a parent of a 12-15 year old young person who experiences chronic musculoskeletal pain? Please share our study details (see below) with your child as we are eager to hear from more 12-15 year olds on how they manage their pain. For more information, see inspiremsk.stir.ac.uk

📣£2.4m in new funding announced for research tackling challenges of living with musculoskeletal conditions. The Nuffield Foundation’s Oliver Bird Fund and Versus Arthritis are supporting five new projects. MSK conditions affect more than 20 million people in the UK. Find out more: ow.ly/tHE950WmUY6

Image of Catherine Dennison and her quote which reads By investing in a diverse range of research, we aim to drive meaningful change in how people can work - and live better - with MSK conditions, and generate evidence-based recommendations to support them through more effective services, workplace practices, and policy.”

Asking the crowd: Who has used a LEGO construction task to measure children's persistence, and could you share your protocol and/or published articles using the task? I have a student considering using this sort of measure with 1st and 4th graders. #PsychSciSky

@aberdeenepi.bsky.social interesting results on an audit of the GGC paediatric pain clinic showing an over-representation of neurodivergent children with chronic pain in the past 10 years! Neurodivergent patients also showed higher prevalence of MSK pain & more disruptions to their daily life!

My final year undergraduate student is looking for young people aged 16 to 30 years of age living with chronic pain for an exciting, creative study to learn more about pain management strategies! If you are interested please get in touch 👇🏻
