Reframing Chronic Pain: How Patient Language Drives Better Communication and Care
Discover how Inspire’s collaboration with the FDA uncovered patient-centric insights into chronic pain communication, improving care strategies and reducing stigma.
Chronic pain patients often struggle to articulate their experiences, leading to misunderstandings and stigma in healthcare settings. Inspire’s case study, Reframing Chronic Pain Through Patient Language – FDA Collaboration, highlights how Inspire partnered with the FDA to analyze over 150,000 patient posts, uncovering the language and metaphors patients use to describe their pain and the emotional impacts of their condition.
In this case study, you’ll learn:
How Inspire’s natural language processing (NLP) and linguistic analysis identified key pain descriptors like “burning,” “throbbing,” and “radiating,” as well as metaphors such as “electric shocks” and “prison sentence.”
The emotional impacts of chronic pain, including feelings of validation, frustration, and anxiety, and how these insights can improve patient-provider communication.
How the collaboration with the FDA provided actionable insights to help market researchers, healthcare providers, and regulators better understand and address the needs of chronic pain patients.
The importance of using patient-centric language in product information, care strategies, and advocacy efforts, such as those seen in the “spoonie” community.
Discover how Inspire’s innovative approach to analyzing patient language can transform chronic pain communication and improve patient outcomes.
