About

Now, in its 5th year, the Oregon Pain Summit is an interdisciplinary conference that explores the pain experience , its contributing factors, and potential treatments from an evidence-based perspective. As the chronic pain epidemic continues to grow, there have been large advances in the understanding of pain’s pathophysiology and its management. The Oregon Pain Summit hosts local, national, and international experts on pain and provides attendees with the latest updates on this pervasive condition. Topics covered include – the neurobiology of pain, trauma informed care, and the evidence behind current treatments. This conference targets any clinician or patient who treats and experiences pain. Attendance will be both in person and virtual.

This year’s learning objectives are:

1. Understand the pathophysiology of the pain experience

2. Appreciate how the concept of autonomy affects clinician and patient experiences.

3. Understand the limitations of current interventions for pain

4. Learn how understanding pain can transform patient care
