What is this course about?
The last few decades have brought about a wealth of discovery in pain sciences. Clinicians and patients are recognising the value in bringing findings from research with imaging; lab techniques; and observational and behavioural experiments to better understand pain in a clinical setting.
Pain is an experience, not a sensation. A broad framework is required to understand the place of biological and behavioural responses that occur when someone experiences pain. Inviting philosophical thinking allows us to go some way to link these bodily mechanisms with the self.
This 2-day course explores complex pain states by considering the dynamic interactions of brain, body and world. It uses Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) as a reference point to understand the experience and perception of the person in pain. During the course participants will be introduced to first-person (patient) perspectives and pain journeys through videos and case studies. There will be discussions and debates to allow a thorough reflection of the picture of pain, in particular considering where vulnerability/susceptibility and tolerance/resilience meet the person in pain and their wellbeing.
Course objectives
After this course you will be:
- Aware of past and present models of pain including embodied cognition, enactivism and predictive processing to explain a pain experience
- Able to perform basic bedside body perceptual tests for the person in pain and understand their use in research to inform treatment
- Able to consider the rationale for appropriate treatment and critique your own biases
- Aware of predictive processing and how it is used to explain a pain experience
