Welcome to the Hot Topics podcast from NB Medical with Dr Neal Tucker. In this summer sizzler, we have three new pieces of research for clinicians in general practice.
First, do antihistamines help with managing atopic eczema, or do they do more harm than good? Does which one we use matter?
Second, exploring the pain relief achieved by opioids in the short and long term. Are there new lessons to be learned?
Third, for an alternative way of managing chronic MSK pain, could self-directed CBT be the solution?
