Integrating Pain Phenotypes, Pain Science Education and Behavioural Change: Toward Personalized Pain Approaches

SIG Name: Pain, Mind, and Movement

Description of Symposium: The symposium is developed around two keynote presentations on pain phenotypes and pain science education. The first is followed by a practical workshop that exemplifies how to translate existing evidence on pain phenotype into research-grounded clinical practice approaches. The 2nd keynote will integrate theoretical and practical approaches, focusing on how to deliver and tailor pain science education.
Additionally, our symposium features a unique format that includes flash talks delivered by members. These presentations are determined at a later stage through a formal submission and peer-review process coordinated by the PMM SIG board. This encourages strong participation from SIG members, ensuring that all presentations are relevant and rigorous. This model of the symposium has been put into practice for the last three IASP Congresses with very good feedback from members and those attending the symposia.
The SIG symposium also provides an opportunity for members of the SIG to become familiar with each other’s work, thereby stimulating the exchange of experiences and fostering international study and collaboration. This is achieved by a longer break, during which networking activities are facilitated by board members.

Intended Audience: Clinical Practice, Cross-disciplinary, Clinical Research, Translational Research, Education

Educational Objectives:

• Understand the underpinnings of pain phenotypes and pain science education;
