Pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek medical attention and a symptom encountered by every physician. According to American Pain Society estimates, 50 million people are partially or totally disabled by pain and 45% of all Americans seek care for persistent pain at some point in their lives. Neuropathic pain can be especially difficult to diagnose and treat. In this session, advances in the understanding of the causes of common neuropathic pain syndromes will be reviewed, and treatment options will be addressed. As a result of participation, attendees will: - Be able to better recognize the onset of neuropathic pain.
- Have a better understanding of a range of treatment options.
- Will be better able to understand pain physiology and its ramifications.
