Ninth International Symposium on Pediatric Pain, Stockholm, Sweden
17 June 2013 - 17 June 2013
Sweden
The Ninth International Symposium on Pediatric Pain will take place from 17 to 20 June 2013 in Stockholm, Sweden.
Children are at risk of inadequate pain management. Misconceptions exist that may contribute to inadequate analgesia for procedures that would routinely be treated aggressively in adults. Although much is now known about pain management in children, improvements are still needed to improve pediatric pain management in routine clinical practice.
One of the problematic factors lies in children's difficulty to express their pain to those taking care of them - health professionals and parents - in ways that can be clearly understood. There can be particular difficulties in inferring the sensory and emotional experience of pain in children, especially in neonates and young children.
The meeting will provide opportunities for all delegates to share knowledge and network. It will cover a broad selection of topicsn, ranging from basic to clinical science, pharmacology to psychological interventions, acute to chronic pain, pain within hospital as well as community settings.For further information, please visit:
