New pain research can often be difficult for people in pain to understand because of the dense, academic language used in scientific journal articles.
In this webinar, Dr. Alfonso Iorio provides a detailed overview of PAIN+ CPN, a free online database that summarizes emerging pain research in plain language. PAIN+ CPN is updated regularly with articles that are reviewed and rated for clinical relevance and general interest by by both health care professionals and people living with chronic pain. Because the database is a helpful resource for anyone with an interest in pain, including caregivers, people with pain and health care providers who treat people with pain, this webinar is open to all audiences.
Note: PAIN+ CPN is a knowledge translation initiative of the Chronic Pain Network.
