Pain & The Brain - Abstract

This seminar provides a brief overview of current paradigms of pain, with a focus on the rapid expansion in our understanding of the role of the brain in complex and pathological pain conditions.  The seminar draws on recent clinical and basic science research to answer these questions: Why does it still hurt? How does the brain change when pain persists? How do these changes manifest? What can be done about it? This seminar aims to bring the science to the clinician in a manner that is sensible, interesting and immediately clinically applicable. The seminar will be of great use to anyone wanting to understand modern pain concepts and for people who treat patients with chronic pain.
