Transform your approach to pain management in this comprehensive, expert-led course as you explore the latest advances in pharmacologic, behavioral, and interventional therapies, and gain practical tools for treating chronic, acute, and cancer-related pain across diverse patient populations.
A significant amount of research has indicated that many, if not all, types of pain are undertreated. Some data indicate that only 25% of patients treated for pain receive adequate relief. In addition, several studies have shown that various pain-relieving techniques may be used inappropriately, which can result in patient harm.
Evaluation and Treating Pain is a live course held each spring in Boston. It provides a comprehensive review and update of the basic science and advances in the field of pain medicine.
The faculty includes specialists in many aspects of pain medicine including anesthesiology, neurology, psychiatry and psychology, internal medicine, physical medicine and rehabilitation, orthopedic surgery, interventional radiology, and neurosurgery.
Participants learn how to diagnose common pain problems and explore various options for treatment of chronic pain, acute pain and cancer-related pain. Pharmacologic, behavioral and interventional treatments of pain will be discussed. Ample time will be spent addressing the role of opioids in the management of pain.
Learning Objectives
- Assess methods to manage end-of-life pain.
- Compare and contrast various pain-relieving techniques.
- Apply current guidelines for the management of pediatric pain.
- Discuss the benefits and appropriate use of yoga and other non-pharmacologic pain-relieving options.
Who Should Participate
- Psychologists, Primary Care Physicians, Specialty Physicians, CRNA, and Dental
- Best for clinicians across multiple specialties who want a comprehensive, evidence‑based update on pain management. It emphasizes multidisciplinary approaches, practical treatment strategies, and integration of new research into clinical practice.
