About the webinar

Assessing and diagnosing a patient’s chronic pain problem is not straightforward or well- defined.

How chronic pain is conceptualized influences how pain is evaluated. There is no one-to-one relationship between the amount or type of organic pathology, pain intensity and overall pain perception.

Instead, the chronic pain experience is shaped by a myriad of neuroscientific, biomedical, psychosocial and behavioural factors.

Assessing each of these domains and addressing all mechanisms underlying chronic and complex pain through a patient-centered approach is essential for treatment decisions and to facilitate optimal outcomes.

This webinar introduces the key notion of interdisciplinary pain assessment and specifies the importance of this model when evaluating individuals’ pain so as to manage the complexity of chronic and complex pain in it’s entirety.
