  • Genetics of Chronic Pain
  • Imaging and Pain
  • Opioid-Induced Pain Sensitivity
  • Evidence-Based Treatment
  • Science of Drug Addiction

  • Who Needs Back Surgery

In the last decade, a variety of new pain therapies have been introduced that can offer relief to millions who needlessly endure untreated or undertreated pain. This meeting promises to address new advances and directions in pain management.

Pain is vastly undertreated for a variety of reasons including misconceptions regarding addiction, lack of access to care, cultural norms, and physician concerns about prescribing pain medications for chronic pain. Millions of people suffer unnecessarily because of these barriers to effective pain treatment. Patients with acute pain or pain from cancer, AIDS, and other serious diseases can be treated appropriately.
