New Webcast Going for Gold to Educate on Importance of Healthy Diet In Persistent Chronic Pain Management

Date:9/22/2008

Olympic Games Champion Nikki Stone and Chronic Pain Experts, Inspire Through Webcast Series

MONTCLAIR, N.J., Sept. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Society of Pain Educators (ASPE) recently launched, the second of a three-part Webcast series: Is Your Persistent Chronic Pain Weighing You Down? at http://www.painawareness.org. This Webcast addresses the importance of proper weight control in managing chronic pain.

WHO:

-- Inspirational testimony from Olympic Gold Medalist and chronic pain sufferer Nikki Stone.

-- Practical pain management tips from Dr. Warren A. Katz, Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and Associate of the Rothman Institute.

WHY:

While maintaining a healthy weight is important for a number of health-related reasons, it is particularly important for the more than 50 million Americans who suffer with persistent chronic pain. The significance for chronic pain sufferers to maintain a healthy diet and weight was underscored in the recent PRICARA(R) Chronic Pain Barometer online survey of 500 American chronic pain sufferers 18 years or older:

-- 86 percent of respondents stated that healthy changes to their diet helped to manage their chronic pain.

-- Nearly half of chronic pain sufferers (approximately 46 percent) agreed controlling their weight helped them to manage their chronic pain.

The Webcast series was developed to addresses everyday concerns for those who suffer with persistent chronic pain on the topics of exercise, weight control, and relationships, including intimacy. The first Webcast on exercise is currently archived at http://www.painawareness.org.

Note: Funding for ASPE and Webcast series was provided by PRICARA(R), Division of Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. All experts featured in the Webcasts
