The IASP defines pain as "an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage" to better articulate the biopsychosocial dimensions of this phenomenon. While our understanding of pain has greatly evolved over the past decades, there are still fundamental questions that need to be addressed, including its psychological components.
To approach these questions and to highlight a recent publication from the Oxford University Press - Placebo Effects Through the Lens of Translational Research - the IASP and the University of Maryland, Baltimore invite you to join us for this webinar exploring the cutting-edge research and discoveries that shed light on the enigmatic world of the placebo effect. To better understand the science of self-healing and harness its potential in medical practice, we'll explore the science of the placebo effect and how it influences treatment.
Participants include:
-- Wayne Jonas, MD, Healing Works Foundation
-- Luana Colloca, MD, PhD, University of Maryland School of Nursing, USA (host)
