“Optimising evidence-based care for low back pain”

Low back pain is a common and burdensome problem. Clinical practice guidelines recommend similar management approaches including initial non-pharmacological treatment provided within a biopsychosocial framework and the prudent use of medications.

Dr Aidan Cashin will present the latest research on the non-pharmacological and pharmacological management for low back pain and discuss how healthcare professionals can optimise the delivery of evidence-based care in their daily practice.
 

Dr Aidan Cashin is a NHMRC Emerging Leadership Fellow. Aidan worked clinically as an exercise physiologist before completing a PhD in Medicine from the University of New South Wales. He has published his research in leading general medical and speciality journals such as JAMA, BMJ, and Pain and has been recognised for his research including receiving the IASP Ronald Dubner Research Prize and APS Rising Star Award. Aidan’s current research focuses on investigating the mechanisms of healthcare interventions for optimisation and translation into clinical practice and health policy. Most of his work is applied to the management of chronic musculoskeletal pain conditions. Aidan also conducts methodological work that aims to improve research transparency and openness. He is a full-time Research Fellow at the Centre for Pain IMPACT, Neuroscience Research Australia and an Associate Lecturer at the School of Health Sciences, The University of New South Wales.
