Time to consider developing services which manage primary pain and other persistant physical symptoms together
The Lancet Verified account @TheLancet Jun 14, 2024
The term medically unexplained symptoms is used to describe patients with persistent physical symptoms but no detectable disease.

In our latest Issue, a Comment explores the implications of a study evaluating a targeted intervention for these patients: hubs.li/Q02BRDN_0
Cover of The Lancet June 15, 2024 Issue. Quote reads: "Scientific developments since 2015 challenge the accuracy of the term medically unexplained symptoms, suggesting that these symptoms are both explainable and treatable."

Particularly great to hear feedback from our patients (actors), that they could see huge benefits for patients

Can anyone give me some advice on how I can engage with #physicians. I am keen to hear about their experiences of #cancerpain but struggling to find ways to reach them via social media. Any advice greatly appreciated @FeliciaJCox @Samhja @MakinsHelen @laird_barry @nicolobattisti
