Course Objectives

At the conclusion of this program, the participants should be able to:

• Identify the pain states and mechanisms that are contributing to a patient's presenting pain complaint

• Recognize the potential anatomic sources of pain and how they can contribute to the presenting pain complaint

• Recognize the functional and psycho-social factors that contribute to chronic pain development

• Evaluate the cause(s) of a patient's presenting pain complaint using a targeted pain history and physical exam. The evaluation should identify any applicable physiologic, anatomic, functional and psycho-social contributing factors

• Formulate a targeted pain treatment plan aimed at specifically treating the identified causes of the patient's pain with a goal of improving the patient's function. The targeted pain treatment plan should utilize a combination of targeted medications, interventions, physical therapy, and psycho-social treatment as appropriate
