DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Chronic pain disables almost 50 million Americans, and is one of the most under-treated conditions in modern health care. The elderly are most affected by pain, and often take multiple medications that have unexamined potential for interaction. Thus, as our population ages, non-pharmaceutical approaches to pain management will be of great value to internists, geriatricians, reheumatologists, oncologist and all those involved with older patients. Recent studies have also demonstrated that the primary reason people use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is for pain. Yet, very little is taught about conventional pain medicine at either the undergraduate or post-graduate levels, and even less about how common CAM therapies can appropriately be woven into the clinical practice of modern pain medicine. While there are a few isolated and generally short programs on CAM for pain offered at national pain meetings, there has not been a complete and comprehensive conference on the state-of-the-science of pain medicine, focusing on an integrated approach to pain medicine. We propose to meet this need through a new conference: "Integrative Pain Medicine." The purpose of this unique and much needed program will be to give an overview of the evidence base for pain medicine in an integrative model that combines current conventional medicines with the best of CAM therapies. The presenters will be asked to critically review the current scientific literature justifying the various therapies for pain, and to clearly describe the state-of-the-science. The audience will be practicing clinicians who deal with pain. The Specific Aims of the conference are to: Describe the fundamentals of modern pain medicine; Describe some of the best conventional and CAM therapies for use in pain management; Present research data to support conventional and CAM therapies for pain; Enable clinicians to know how to identify and evaluate competent CAM practioners and have a sense of how to interact with them; and Present information on the practical integration of useful CAM therapies into the treatment of pain patients with and without cancer.

描述(由申请人提供)： 慢性疼痛使近5000万美国人致残，是最严重的 现代医疗保健中未得到充分治疗的情况。老年人受影响最大 由于疼痛，经常服用多种具有未经检查的潜力的药物 用于互动。因此，随着我们人口的老龄化，非制药类药物越来越多 疼痛管理对内科医生、老年科医生、 风湿科医生、肿瘤学家以及所有与老年患者有关的人。 最近的研究也表明，人们使用的主要原因是 补充和替代医学(CAM)是治疗疼痛的药物。然而，几乎没有什么是 在本科生或研究生教授传统止痛药 水平，甚至更少关于CAM疗法的普遍程度 适当地将其融入现代止痛药的临床实践。 虽然在CAM上有一些孤立的、通常很短的疼痛程序 在全国疼痛会议上提供的，还没有完整和 关于止痛药的科学现状的综合会议， 专注于止痛药的综合方法。我们建议满足这一要求 需要通过一个新的会议：“综合疼痛医学”。目的 这一独特且迫切需要的计划将概述 疼痛医学在综合模式中的证据基础 传统药物与最好的CAM疗法。主讲人将是 被要求批判性地审查当前的科学文献，以证明 各种治疗疼痛的方法，并清楚地描述了最新的科学状况。观众将是与疼痛打交道的执业临床医生。 会议的具体目标是：描述 现代止痛药；描述一些最好的传统疗法和CAM疗法 用于疼痛管理；提供研究数据以支持常规和 凸轮治疗疼痛；使临床医生知道如何识别和 评估有能力的CAM实践者，并了解如何与 并介绍有用的计算机辅助制造系统的实际集成信息 癌症和非癌症疼痛患者的治疗方法。
