Canadian Athletic Therapists Association (CATA) Workshop: What can influence pain in athletes? A conditioned pain modulation experiment

Canadian Athletic Therapists Association (CATA) Workshop: What can influence pain in athletes? A conditioned pain modulation experiment is organized by Canadian Academy of Sport and Exercise Medicine (CASEM) / Academie canadienne de medecine du sport et de l'exercice (ACMSE) and will be held on Mar 08, 2023 at The Fairmont Banff Springs, Banff, Alberta, Canada.

Description:
We will be discussing the definition of pain and how to measure it. In addition, we will outline some of the biopsychosocial factors that can influence pain in athletes. We will also provide instructions on how to measure pain related fear in athletes and how to interpret the scales. Lastly, we will be conducting a conditioned pain modulation experiment where workshop attendees will complete a cold pressor task so we can measure pain in participants while receiving a noxious stimulus.

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
