OVERVIEW
The Conference '1st Efic Topical Symposium on Acute and Chronic Joint Pain' is organized by European Pain Federation, EFIC® and would be held during Sep 21 - 23, 2016 at Dubrovnik Palace, Dubrovnik, Croatie.
The scientific program is designed to meet the aims of EFIC, which are to advance the understanding of mechanisms, assessment, prevention and the treatment of pain and it will consist of plenary sessions, workshops, seminars, free paper sessions and poster presentations.
The meeting is in conjunction with other global and European groups to broaden the appeal of the meeting and to extend our message.
The Symposium will be an important milestone for clinical scientists and practicing health care workers from all disciplines. Together, we will further the management and treatment of patients with joint pain.
Future Arthritis Burden
With the ageing of the European Population, the prevalence of arthritis is expected to increase yearly. By the year 2030, an estimated one hundred and twenty million (25% of the projected total adult population) adults aged 18 years and older will have doctor-diagnosed arthritis. Two-thirds of those with arthritis will be women. Also by 2030, an estimated 60 million adults (37% of adults with arthritis) will report arthritis-attributable activity limitatiions. These estimates may be conservative, as they do not account for the current trends in obesity, which may contribute to future cases of osteoarthritis.
Topics covered in the Symposium will include animal models of joint pain, inflammatory hyperalgesia, epidemiology and assessment of joint pain, back pain and the new NICE guidelines, acute joint pain and its management including pre and postoperative pain treatment, and all aspects of treatment of chronic joint pain now and in the future.
Time: 4:00 pm - 6:30 pm
Price:
Standard Member Early Bird: EUR 300
Standard Non Member Early Bird: EUR 350
Speakers: Maurizio Cutolo, David Walsh, Roberto Casale, Leo Kapural, Tim Maus
