A new class of rehabilitation professional is now emerging – we can call this person a clinical scientist (or scientific clinician). Here we are referring to a professional at the clinical battlefront who uses reasoning science to integrate the best of modern science to help the patient in front of them. Clinical scientist activity ranges from reading and integrating science in the clinic to active data collection and analysis. This blog is for clinicians in the world of science.
Noijam is about:
- Providing an open liberal discussion forum led by experienced clinicians, focusing on the treatment of ongoing pain states via nervous system changing therapies based on movement and education
- Facilitating findings from science into clinical decision making
- Enhancing links between clinicians and researcher
- Bringing researchable ideas from the clinic to the fore.

There are nearly two billion people in the world with an ongoing pain state – we can’t take questions from individual sufferers nor can we provide individual treatment advice but we do have a find a clinician service where you can locate clinicians around the world with Explain Pain education. You may also find reading the clinically orientated stories within noijam helpful.
