2025 Targeted Pain Treatment® Conference: STOP the StigmaThis conference will address the opioid crisis in East Tennessee by providing healthcare providers with up-to-date, evidence-based information on alternative pain management options. The course will focus on dispelling the stigma surrounding both opioid and non-opioid treatments, increasing awareness and application of state and national guidelines, and enhancing education on the multimodal approaches to pain care. By identifying and overcoming barriers to access, the conference aims to improve patient outcomes, function, and quality of life for those suffering from acute and chronic pain. |
What is Targeted Pain Treatment (TPT)?Targeted pain treatment is the process of accurately diagnosing the underlying cause of pain, and the targeting the treatment to the cause of pain. The goal is to effectively treat pain and improve function, while also reducing unnecessary opioid medication use. |
Why does TPT matter?Targeted Pain Treatment differs from other approaches to pain management by seeking to treat the true cause of pain, rather than focusing on lowering a patient's pain score. |
