@ShirleyBWang

It's been a hard few weeks, with rising anti-Asian violence and many folks still denying the reality of anti-Asian racism. Some thoughts on this Sunday afternoon...1) We must fight anti-Asian racism without fueling anti-Blackness (calls for increased policing are unacceptable).

So excited to see this out! EMA pain research is exploding, but there is little evidence that momentary measures are reliable, valid, and/or useful for predicting pain outcomes.
Original: Madelyn Frumkin et al. show that the brief 3-item momentary Pain Catastrophizing Scale (mPCS) is reliable and valid for momentary assessment
- mPCS was associated with ⬆ postsurgical pain
- mPCS predicted less improvement in postop pain
