About the Session
Pain, Mind, and Movement SIG Symposium
The Pain, Mind, and Movement SIG aligns with the 50th anniversary of IASP. The symposium will blend knowledge and expertise from both high-income and low- and middle-income countries.
Presentations will address broader topics on how the brain, mind, behavior, and movement influence pain and disability. This multidisciplinary symposium will focus on learn lessons from the past, review current evidence (present), and discuss/set future directions. This symposium will foster communication between researchers, clinicians, and patients to drive research and stimulate international study and collaborations. The unique format supports presentations from our members, including short oral presentations and clinical workshops with a clear clinical focus within an evidence-based perspective, but with little lecturing and the emphasis on skills training, case studies, demonstrations, etc. Two world-experts will present keynote lectures, one on pain mechanisms and one on pain treatment.
Learning Objectives:
- Encourage integration between basic and clinical research on how mind and movement influence pain and disability
- Foster communication between researchers, clinicians and patients to drive research and stimulate international collaboration
- Discuss how knowledge on pain has evolved in recent years and the next steps for the future
