Jocelyn W Cowie, a Medical Massage Therapist with over 36 years of experience in medical practice, is calling for an urgent need for non-invasive point-of-care assessment tools such as a multimeric sensor device that measure bio-physiological parameters simultaneously and collaboratively, especially in the context of the current pain epidemic.
Pain is a complex phenomenon that affects millions of people worldwide, and it is a leading cause of disability, reduced quality of life, and increased healthcare costs. Chronic pain affects an estimated 20% of adults in the United States and is associated with reduced physical functioning, increased healthcare utilization, and reduced work productivity.
Jocelyn W Cowie, a Heal (Help End Addiction Long-term) Investigator award recipient, is passionate about her ability to solve most pain complaints as well as many common disease complaints using pressure points. Before modern diagnostic technologies arrived on the scene, early disease detection relied on physicians’ palpation skills (the use of fingers or hands for physical examination). Mechanotherapy like Massage and Intermittent Pneumatic Pressure (IPC) mechanically reduces inflammation.
The opioid epidemic, which has led to thousands of deaths and increased healthcare costs, has highlighted the need for effective pain management regimens that do not rely solely on opioids. Non-invasive point-of-care assessment tools such as a multimeric sensor device can provide a more comprehensive understanding of pain and inflammation in musculoskeletal conditions and can help guide the development of effective non-opioid pain management regimens.
The use of non-invasive point-of-care assessment tools can also help to reduce healthcare costs by enabling earlier diagnosis and more targeted therapies, as well as reducing the need for unnecessary imaging and other diagnostic procedures.
In summary, the current pain epidemic highlights the urgent need for effective pain management regimens that do not rely solely on opioids. Non-invasive point-of-care assessment tools such as a multimeric sensor device that measures bio-physiological parameters simultaneously and collaboratively can provide valuable information for assessing pain and inflammation in musculoskeletal conditions, guiding treatment decisions, and monitoring response to therapy, ultimately helping to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
