Musculoskeletal pain often begins early in life and can evolve into a complex, persistent condition. This webinar brings together recent European Journal of Pain research to explore the trajectory of MSK pain from adolescence to adulthood, highlighting the role of comorbidities such as sleep disturbances. Experts will discuss early identification, risk factors, and holistic management approaches to improve long-term outcomes in clinical practice.
This joint webinar, organised by the World Health Organization (WHO), the European Pain Federation EFIC, and the Societal Impact of Pain (SIP), explores how ICD-11 can be effectively integrated into digital health systems to ensure that pain is appropriately captured within routine health data. The webinar focuses on the practical integration of ICD-11 into electronic health records and health information systems, and how this can improve data quality, decision-making, and care pathways for people living with pain.
Opioid use in chronic pain remains a complex clinical challenge. This webinar explores the transition from appropriate prescribing to potential misuse, highlighting key biopsychosocial risk factors and patient trajectories. Drawing on recent European Journal of Pain research, experts discuss how to identify high-risk patients, recognise early warning signs, and integrate multidisciplinary strategies to optimise care and minimise harm in everyday clinical practice.
To celebrate International Nurses Day, EFIC invites pain nurses to a special webinar highlighting the vital role of nursing expertise in improving pain care. Pain nurses play a key role in assessing, managing, and advocating for people living with pain. As pain medicine continues to evolve, specialised knowledge and professional development are essential to strengthen the role of nurses within multidisciplinary care teams.
As part of the DIGI4MSK webinar series, this session focused on pain-related distress in people living with persistent musculoskeletal (MSK) pain—what it is, what it is not, and how clinicians can recognise it in everyday practice. We were pleased to welcome Professor Tamar Pincus, psychologist and leading expert in chronic pain. Drawing on research evidence, she explored how pain-related distress differs from other psychological constructs, why it matters for short- and long-term outcomes, and how clinician–patient communication plays a central role.
As part of the DIGI4MSK webinar series, this session focused on how healthcare professionals can use patient-centered communication to improve outcomes in musculoskeletal (MSK) pain care. In an era where patients are increasingly influenced by digital health information, effective communication and health literacy are more important than ever. We were pleased to welcome Professor Peter O’Sullivan (Curtin University), researcher and clinician in MSK pain and developer of Cognitive Functional Therapy. He shared evidence-based approaches and practical strategies to help HCPs make every word count in their patient interactions.
