1️⃣ & 2️⃣ Fun at the photo booth with my new CNAP and former Balgrist team. 🎊

3️⃣ Poster on a small sub-project of my former lab on pressure pain threshold assessments.

4️⃣ My PhD supervisor P. Schweinhardt presenting our data on brainstem neurotransmitters in chronic pain 🔜 @painthejournal.bsky.social!

No subgroup with deficient CPM was identified.

Subgroups did not differ in age, sex, pain catastrophizing, and other clinical features.

This questions the importance of CPM assessments in chronic pain and highlights the need to further explore sources of CPM variability.

Poster #1 shows how with latent class linear mixed models, we aimed to investigate whether subgroups with different CPM effects exist in a diverse patient and pain-free control sample (N=146).

We identified 3 subgroups with different degrees of inhibitory CPM, all containing patients and controls.
