How Pain Education and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain can enhance your practice
The management of chronic pain continues to be an unmet need in the United States and around the world. In order to meet this global burden, practitioners must be able to assess and treat pain taking into consideration the multidimensional nature of the pain experience.
Current evidence suggests that when healthcare providers are up-to-date on the latest pain science and educate their patients, they are able to treat pain more effectively. This more comprehensive biopsychosocial approach has been demonstrated to improve outcomes and enhance quality of life.
Over the past two decades, there has been an explosion of pain science research and professionals are utilizing pain education as an intervention to improve physical and psychosocial outcomes.
During this 6-week course, we will cover the latest concepts in pain science, how to comprehensively evaluate pain, and use pain education as an intervention. You will learn how to use evidence-based outcomes and measures and various pain management interventions – ranging from pain neuroscience education, exercise and modalities, graded exposure and pacing, lifestyle modifications, and psychological approaches including acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness.
