Pain physiology
Module: Pain physiology
Welcome to the Pain Physiology module – an in-depth and comprehensive study where you will gain a unique understanding of pain and its many facets. Our module offers a modern approach to pain science, giving you the knowledge and tools you need to work effectively with patients experiencing pain. Here are some of the main areas we cover:
Learning objectives:
Understanding the modern pain model:
• Deep understanding of the biopsychosocial model of pain and how it differs from previous, biomedical models.
• Explore the connection between psychological, social, and biological factors that influence the patient’s experience of pain.
Pain Science:
• Basic and advanced knowledge of pain mechanisms, including peripheral and central sensitization processes.
• Understand the neurobiology and neuroscience behind pain perception and how the nervous system is affected by various pain-modulating factors.
Pain mechanisms and neuroscience:
• Detailed knowledge of the peripheral and central pain mechanisms and how these influence the experience of pain.
• Review of the neuroscience behind acute and chronic pain, including neuroplasticity, central sensitization, and neuroimmune interactions.
Contextual factors:
• The importance of the patient’s beliefs, expectations, cultural and social factors that influence the pain experience.
• Identify how the therapist’s approach, communication and relationship with the patient can affect the treatment outcome.
Modern research-based framework:
• How to implement evidence-based principles of pain management in clinical practice.
• Use clinical reasoning to develop individualized treatment plans tailored to the patient’s unique pain patterns.
Patient communication and education:
• Development of effective communication skills to explain complex pain mechanisms to patients in an understandable manner.
• Strategies to reduce fear and anxiety around pain through patient education and coping tools.
Clinical application of the pain model:
• Practical application of modern pain models and frameworks in various clinical scenarios.
• Development of tailored treatment plans for acute and chronic pain, including rehabilitation, exercise therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and pain management strategies.
Practical focus:
• Our approach is practically oriented, equipping you with skills you can use directly in clinical practice.
In-depth knowledge:
We delve into the subject thoroughly and ensure that you gain a deep understanding of pain physiology and its implications.
evidence-based:
• The module is based on the latest research in pain science, making you a competent therapist who can provide effective treatment.
Join our education and expand your understanding of pain science in a modern, research-based way. Let’s raise the standard of pain management to a new level together.
