Best pain practices matter.
Studies show that improving healthcare professionals’ knowledge and skills in regard to pain enables them to help their patients identify contributors to their pain experience, enhance patient autonomy, and increase patients' ability to self-manage their pain to avoid potentially needless suffering (CDC 2019).
With this patient-centered, evidence-based approach to understanding and managing pain, practitioners can help reduce the risk of transition from acute to chronic pain, help put patients back in control of their lives and help them on the road to recovery from chronic pain.
This course will enable you to:
-
Identify biopsychosocial factors that contribute to pain.
-
Understand the basic mechanisms of how chronic pain works.
-
Identify psychosocial methods to help patients reduce pain.
-
List output systems at work in chronic pain.
-
List potential strategies to implement evidence-based practice regarding persistent pain.
