Overview

The comorbidity, co-prescribing, and co-occurrence of disability among persons with chronic pain create greater challenges in managing each condition and reducing impact. Pain cannot be managed in isolation. (Wallace, 2004)
The Kaua’i Pain Conference curriculum addresses biopsychosocial dimensions of pain:
bio – with advances in the basic neuroscience processes of pain
psychological – how the constellation of cognitive processes interacts with neurological signals to influence health and wellness
social – how societal factors influence patient well-being and clinical practice

The Kaua’i Pain Conference is where health care providers, policy makers, administrators and insurers develop interprofessional solutions to the complex challenges of pain management.
Designed for providers of all specialties to improve their understanding of the etiology, assessment, and treatment of pain.

The Full program will be posted soon.
