Advances in Pain Neuroscience: Know Pain; Know Gain - October 5, 2016

This lecture will focus on two key elements in treating pain: education and movement. The first part of the lecture will discuss the importance of cognitions, pain and education. Current best-evidence provides strong support for PNE to positively influence pain ratings, dysfunctions, fear-avoidance, and pain catastrophization, limitations in movement, pain knowledge and healthcare utilization. The second part of the presentation will center on neuroplasticity, culminating in ever-increasing popular treatments such as mirror therapy, virtual reality, graded motor imagery and sensor motor retraining. Emerging research has tied hands-on treatment, exercise and movement to brain remapping, enhancement of endogenous mechanisms, graded exposure, cognitive restructuring of threat and more, all of which are very important in a human pain experience.
