Quality, Bias, and Integrity in Pain Research: Creating the Next Generation of Pain Science
In this symposium, we report on:
1) How to understand quality in both primary research and systematic review.
2) How spin (i.e., misdirection) and diversion occur.
3) The current state of scientific retractions in pain literature.
4) How we might explore the trustworthiness of pain evidence.
