Due to concerns about new recruits and an aging workforce, especially among physicians, it is important to better understand professional and career pathways in pain medicine.

Article Synopsis
- Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare, progressive neurological disorder that usually starts in adulthood and features a variety of both motor and non-motor symptoms, often resembling other conditions like Parkinson's disease.
- Research over the past five years has deepened understanding of MSA, particularly regarding the role of α-synuclein inclusions, which are linked to the disease's progression.
- Updated diagnostic criteria in 2022 aim to improve early diagnosis, and while recent clinical trials show promise for new treatments, definitive evidence of neuroprotection is still lacking.
