WOO HOOOO! You can register for the most important cycling event of the year - UniSA's Ride for Pain. April 29th 2012. There is something for everyone - a choice of the easy 35km on the flat, the 45km into the hills, or for the more serious - a 100km through the Adelaide Hills.

As a small child I was fascinated by my uncle's ‘psychic knees’. And by ‘psychic’ I am really describing the situation where he would look at me and knowingly state, “It’s going to rain…my knees are aching."

One of the bits of the brain I find the toughest to understand is the insula. We hear about it when the “pain matrix” is discussed. Just when I thought I might have got my head around it, findings like these by Mazzola and colleagues in Italy go and add more details into mix.

Conventional wisdom tells us that when we want an answer to a clinical question, we should look to systematic reviews because they collate all the available evidence on that topic. Problematically though, sometimes systematic reviews on the same topic don’t all give us the same conclusions.
