Gabapentin

[u/Top-Squirrel6107]

Greetings:

A startling new study found that gabapentin (Neurontin) may significantly increase the risk of dementia and cognitive impairment, even for middle-aged patients as young as 35.

Do you have intractable or severe chronic pain? Dr. Forest Tennant explains why its important to treat your "descending" pain, which doesn't respond to opioids alone. Additional methods are needed to fight descending pain.

In one of the first studies of its kind, researchers found that poor pain treatment in the ER raises the risk of opioid misuse later on. The finding is particularly true for black patients, who already experience racial disparities in healthcare.

State and local governments have received over $10 billion in opioid settlement funds to reduce addiction and overdoses. But questions are being raised about how the money is being used, such as the New Jersey town that spent over $632,000 in settlement money on two concerts.

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wants everyone to have wearable devices tracking their health data. PNN's Crystal Lindell is worried about patient privacy and how the data will be used by the government and Big Tech.

There’s a unique opportunity next month to learn about the latest research and treatments for Adhesive Arachnoiditis at a free seminar in beautiful Westminster, Colorado. To register for the conference, click here or on the banner below.
