This is the FIRST live streamed only, three day professional conference discussing the Science of Pain. We have gathered together invited speakers from around the world, who you might not otherwise have access to.
Oral presentation submission deadline – Sept 10th 2016
The Science of Pain and its Management has an open abstract session:
Abstracts can be submitted on any subject related to Pain.
This event will discuss emerging research relating to the physiology, psychology and pharmacology of pain, and its assessment and management.
Who Should Attend:This event is aimed at research scientists, physicians and pharmaceutical professionals working on both basic pain research and clinical aspects of pain, including pain management.
We encourage questions, discussion and debate and have a relaxed atmosphere which generates maximum interaction online.
After registration you will be connected to an online networking site where you will be able to have discussions with all participants of this event, before, during and after the meeting.
The event will be recorded and available for all registered delegates up to a month after the event. So if you can’t manage all the days, or the different time zones, you can still have access to the full event.
