IPRO ECHO: When the Pain Won’t Stop Whole Person Care Addressing Chronic Pain Session 4

Chronic pain is a complex issue that is never solely biological. In this series we will explore the biopsychosocial view of pain. This includes three different domains of pain interacting at the same time. Pain is…

• biological (e.g., tissue damage, inflammation)
• psychological (e.g., thoughts and emotions affect pain, memories of pain)
• social/sociological (e.g., socioeconomic, gender, ethnicity, isolation)

Each session will include brief talks by specialists on specific topics for management of chronic pain and supporting patients’ self- management of chronic pain.

During each session, community physicians will present a clinical case for feedback and recommendations from other participants and subject matter experts.

This participatory group learning will:

• Increase knowledge of up-to-date chronic pain management approaches.
• Improve ability to assess chronic pain and recommend effective treatment interventions.
• Build knowledge and skills regarding emerging evidence-based mind-body practices to enhance patient self- management of chronic pain.
