Prescribing for chronic pain -theory

by some as a side issue to their main agenda of diagnosis.
This meeting will look at what prescribed products are available
now and in the future together with the political levers to
put chronic pain
management centrally on the medical map.

Synopsis:
The pathogenic mechanisms and treatment strategies for chronic
pain states are still largely unknown but may be facilitated
by increased knowledge on the transition from acute pain states
into a persistent pain state. In this context, elective surgery
may represent an ideal model due to the possibility of assessing
patients before and after the injury regarding pre-, intra-
and postoperative risk factors. The aim of this symposium
is to study the transition from various surgical and non-surgical
acute pain states into a persistent pain state in order to
outline strategies for prevention and treatment.
The Benzon Symposia are international conferences on front
line research in medical, pharmaceutical, and related sciences
funded by the Alfred Benzon Foundation. The 57th Benzon Symposium
on Acute Pain Pathophysiology and Risk Factors for
Chronification is planned as a 4 day scientific meeting, Monday-Thursday
9 AM to 6-7 PM. It will cover acute pain physiology and risk
factors for transition into a chronic pain state. The Symposium
will provide a very comprehensive approach to the subject
based upon updated knowledge on the pathophysiology of acute
pain, a thorough discussion on pre-, intra- and post injury
risk factors and strategies for prevention and treatment based
upon specific lectures within well-defined surgeries and diseases.
The format of the Symposium will be a combination of state-of-the-art
lectures by invited speakers, selected oral-poster presentations
and poster sessions. Lectures, oral presentations and poster
presentations are all divided into four days. The day program
includes 2 x ½ h coffee break and 1 h lunch.
Sessions:
Basic Studies
Clinical Studies
Risk Factors in Specific Surgeries and Diseases
Strategies for Treatment and Prevention
The Way Forward
Deadlines:
Abstracts: May 1, 2010

We have the pleasure to announce the 3rd Week for Somatosensory
Rehabilitation:
A course in English about the rehabilitation of the cutaneous
sense disorders.
This rehabilitation is based on the principle that: most patients
suffering from chronic pain have cutaneous sense disorders.
A decrease in the hypoaesthesia will at the same time cause
a decrease in their chronic neuropathic pain.
The course, which will be taking place in March 2011, in Switzerland,
will consist in theoretical and practical aspect of the Somatosensory
Rehabilitation. It has been taught for the past ten years
in French and in German.
This course is opened to the graduate therapists (occupational
therapists, physical therapists, etc.) and the medical doctors.
For more information please visit the link above.
