Pediatric pain is challenging. Children are unique and solutions need to be tailored. Canada’s 1st national Pediatric Pain Management Health standard developed by @KidsinPain @HSO_world actions Health Canada and PHAC’s Action Plan calls for quality, equitable pain care for all. #NPAW2024

It's #NPAW2024. Did you know trans people experience higher rates of chronic pain than their cis counterparts & are more likely to experience barriers to accessing health care? ➡️Track the work being done to improve equitable access to pain care here: PainCanada.ca/actionplan

Canadian Pain Society Andrea D. Furlan MD PhD PM&R Asaf (Klaf) Weisman Bev Schechtman🇮🇱 A1. It is pain rooted in CNS processing changes rather than tissue or nerve damage. It’s a relatively new framework helping us better understand complex conditions like fibromyalgia and broadening effective treatment options. #CanadianPainLIVE #NPAW2024

A1 - Important to have a precise term - given that not all chronic pain conditions can be explained solely by structural or tissue damage. (BTW - I am a clinician, researcher, educator and past president Canadian Pain Society Society) #CanadianPainLive #NPAW2024

Canadian Pain Society Andrea D. Furlan MD PhD PM&R Bev Schechtman🇮🇱 Eoin Kelleher A1: Nociplastic Pain is a revolutionary term, as it is finally the scientific and medical community's official stamp of approval that patients with chronic pain conditions have valid complaints. #CanadianPainLIVE #NPAW2024 #DouleurAuCanada #SNSD2024

To me - nociplastic pain describes the physiology behind challenging pain diagnoses like CRPS. It empasses a number of changes in the nervous system that result in altered/dysfunctional nociception. Canadian Pain Society #CanadianPainLIVE

Eoin Kelleher Canadian Pain Society Andrea D. Furlan MD PhD PM&R Asaf (Klaf) Weisman Bev Schechtman🇮🇱 I'm excited to see that some studies are already looking at different subtypes of nociplastic pain. I think this is definitely a must if we want to move forward! #CanadianPainLIVE #NPAW2024
