JOGO digital therapeutics (JOGO-Gx) shows superior results to current treatments in alleviating non-specific low back pain.

BRIDGEWATER, N.J. – September 15, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

JOGO Health Inc., a New Jersey-based, privately held digital therapeutics company focused on the development and commercialization of treatments for chronic pain and neuromuscular (NM) conditions, today announced that it will present positive data on using its signature solution, JOGO-Gx, to treat patients with non-specific low back pain at the 19th World Congress on Pain held at the Metro Toronto Convention Center in Toronto from Sept. 19-25, 2022.

Non-specific low back pain is one of the most common reasons Americans miss work or leave jobs entirely. A professional organization estimates 200 million US productivity hours are consequently lost every year and nearly 40 million workers suffer from non-specific low back pain. Addressing a reduced quality of life while lacking an understanding of treatment options, clinicians and patients are often tempted to rely on medication alone.

Unlike most chronic pain studies relying on subjective numerical scales, this trial also used quantitative sensory testing (QST) instruments to evaluate physical responses. Conducted during the pandemic, the year-long clinical study assessed patients with non-specific back pain who had received traditional treatments before using JOGO. “Compared to baseline waitlist comparison groups, the JOGO-Gx group demonstrated statistically significant changes in pain intensity, pain interference and low back pain reduction. The most significant improvement was the reduction of pain disability (p

With numerous clinics temporarily closed due to the pandemic, study participants mediated pain using JOGO-Gx telehealth. 

JOGO Health’s CEO, Sanjai Murali, describes one real-world patient’s experience with JOGO-Gx digital therapeutics for non-specific lower back pain: “After a string of failed treatments, including physical therapy, the patient was pain-free for the first time in 10 years, returning to a normal lifestyle.”

According to JOGO Health’s President and Co-Founder, Siva Nadarajah, JOGO-Gx could be an alternative to opioids and pain killers: “In previously published clinical studies on chronic lower back pain, opioids such as Tapentadol ER and Oxycodone CR revealed significantly less pain reduction than JOGO-Gx. Although we didn’t conduct a head-to-head study, data show JOGO-Gx could be superior to opioids in treating chronic lower back pain.”

About JOGO Health:

Built on the pioneering work of late Dr. Joe Brudny, New York University’s Rusk Rehabilitation Center, and Dr. Gordon Silverman, Rockefeller University, JOGO uses wearable sensors and an AI driven app to treat chronic pain, Parkinson’s tremors and other movement disorders associated with neurological conditions via telemedicine.

CHICAGO – September 14, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

The American Association of Medical Assistants® (AAMA), the only organization in the world devoted exclusively to the medical assisting profession, will celebrate Medical Assistants Recognition Week (MARWeek) with the theme “Medical Assistants Are MAGIC: Medical Assistants Give Incredible Care.” The national appreciation week will take place October 17-21, and medical assistants across the country will be honored on Medical Assistants Recognition Day, Wednesday, October 19.

This year’s theme, “Medical Assistants Are MAGIC,” spotlights the spectacular care provided by medical assistants as multiskilled medical professionals. The theme honors medical assistants’ versatility and commitment to excellence, ensuring quality patient-centered health care. 

“MARWeek is a special time for patients, providers and employers to celebrate and recognize medical assistants as vital members of the outpatient care team,” says Deborah Novak, CMA (AAMA), 2021-2022 vice president of the AAMA. “Credentialed medical assistants are multiskilled professionals who are trained to provide safe, compassionate, and quality patient care.”

MARWeek offers employers, medical assistants and CMAs (AAMA)® an opportunity to recognize medical assistants’ contributions to health care delivery effectiveness. Here are suggestions for ways to observe the week:

• Implement new policies for medical assisting staff training, educational assistance, benefits, flex time or other new programs.
• Hold a special medical assisting training seminar on company time.
• Dedicate the October issue of your practice newsletter to your medical assisting staff, recognizing exceptional efforts and overall contributions.
• Offer to display the MARWeek poster in a prominent place in your practice.

With their unique versatility, medical assistants are proving to be the allied health professionals of choice for this decade and beyond. Medical assisting is one of the nation’s careers growing much faster than average for all occupations, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
