Specialists in neurology, family and pain medicine, psychiatry, clinical oncologists and neurosurgeons are welcome to apply. The GAMS address doctors primarily from the Caucasian region, but applicants from other countries may also be accepted if there are still places available.
The course is focused on comprehensive aspects of diagnosis and treatment. It will also include the innovative methods of care, specifically patients with various types of pain.
The didactic format will include the combination of lectures and interactive case discussions. Case oriented learning is emphasized. Best 12 abstracts prepared by young participants will be chosen by our committee and will be discussed during the poster session.
About GAMS
Georgian Association of Medical Specialties was established in 2006 as a non-governmental and non-profit medical association with aim "to promote the medical and allied sciences, and to maintain the honor and interests of the medical profession" and to popularize the idea of CME, to promote the European System of Medical Education and Continuing Professional Development (CPD). Activities of Georgian Association of Medical Specialties (GAMS) is coordinated with UEMS-leading regulatory European institution in medicine, which participates in development of medical branches and health care as a Whole. It’s important that (GAMS) is the only official representative of this organization in Georgia. GAMS is institutional corporative member of European Medical Association (EMA) and European CME Forum.
Learning objectives
This course, on completion, will enable the participants to receive the up-to-date information and expert opinion on the main topics of pain management, pathophysiology and other aspects of it(F.e. Ascending and descending mechanism of pain facilitation and inhibition; Role of brain in pain modulation Importance of psychosocial mechanisms in pain; Empathy and Pain; Culture and pain or Clinical variants of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome CRPS, Diagnostic criteria for CRPS; Pathophysiology, involving multiple organ systems; Contemporary approaches to the management of CRPS), to improve their competence and gain practical skills in the diagnostic work-up and decision-making concerning the management of different aspects of pain . Didactic cases provided by tutors in case-oriented learning will be useful to students for dealing with clinical problems in daily practice. By presenting their own work during poster sessions, the participants are encouraged to improve the competence and confidence in lecturing and teaching.
This course increases our knowledge of comprehensive, interdisciplinary approaches to pain, taking a holistic approach to the patient, and addressing the psychosocial components that underlies pain.
Pain is a component of many chronic conditions, and chronic pain is emerging as a health concern on its own, with negative consequences affecting individuals, families and society.
Chronic pain is more prevalent among older population,veterans, those previously but not currently employed, those living in poverty or rural areas, and those with public health insurance.
High-impact Chronic Pain contributes to direct medical costs, lost productivity, and disability programs.
This education course provides data to inform policy makers, clinicians(neurologists, primary health care physicians, neurosurgeons, clinical oncologists), researchers focused on pain care and prevention.
Patients with pain benefit from a multidisciplinary approach, which also focuses on functional improvement. Patients not only work with strength training and physical therapy, but also psychology, nutrition, and other modalities to help them get more ownership of their pain and increase their understanding of pain. Comprehensive strategies involving pharmacologic and psychologic therapies can improve pain management. Approximately two thirds of adults are affected by mechanical low back pain at some point in their lives, making it the second most common complaint in ambulatory medicine and the third most expensive disorder in terms of health care money spent surpassed only by cancer and heart disease.
The goal of our activity is to increase healthcare practitioners knowledge of acute treatment of migraine that have recently received FDA approval, as well as those in advanced stages of development, to improve awareness of the use of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for migraine prevention. Main challenges of overuse headaches will be addressed. At the end of conference participants will have better knowledge in the treatment of patients with different types of pain, who are not sufficiently relieved by basic guideline/approach. We will cover several aspects of acute, chronic, cancer and non-cancer pain , pain following stroke, its prognosis and management . Along with the newest developments in the field of basic science we will discuss some aspects of multimodal interdisciplinary care for patients suffering from pain. Correct strategy, whether further investigations such as neuroimaging or neurophysiology are needed and when we should avoid over investigation. Different drug classes helpful in acute and preventive attack treatment will be reviewed and controversies in headache treatment will be elucidated . There are still unmet needs in treating headaches, searching for better ways of management are still ongoing. The major aim of the conference is to give overview of present knowledge about drug safety/efficacy and mechanisms in different types of pain, to give perspectives on future drug developments.
Participants: Maximal number is 100 ( to allow for an optimal level of interaction with tutors) The best 12 applicants will be selected by the Organizing Committee primarily on the basis of their abstracts submitted, to present their work on poster presentation section . Priority: GAMS members and applicants preferably up to 35 years of age.
