Registration is now open for the satellite meeting of the CRSP SIG at #EFIC2023 in Budapest! Join members of the international research community to discuss “What can we learn from regional and widespread symptoms in CRPS?”. This is especially important since CRPS is classified in the ICD-11 as primary chronic pain. The meeting will take place at the Hungexpo building (same location as #EFIC2023).

This symposium will focus on:

· Understanding the importance of defining regional pain in the context of CRPS
· Understanding how CRPS is understood across disciplines
· Understanding cases of CRPS and other regional pain syndromes
· Discussing widespread pain and other symptoms of CRPS

The half day symposium will cover outcomes of postoperative pain management, focusing on regional anaesthesia and integrative medicine. It is increasingly clear that the decades-old problem of undertreated postoperative pain is not because of lack of effective drugs or techniques but to a lack of an organized, multidisciplinary approach, such as APS which uses existing treatments.  Expanding the role of the APS to transform into an interdisciplinary Transitional Pain Service seems a promising approach. At the conclusion, we would like to discuss a research agenda on these issues elaborated by the Acute Pain SIG and participants of the satellite symposium. View the full programme here.

This symposium will:

· Demonstrate an understanding of relevant outcomes for managing pain after surgery
· Understand how regional anesthesia and parts of integrative medicine can demonstrate better outcomes
· Understand the impact of acute pain services and transitional pain services on pain outcomes
· Understand the benefits of monitoring patient-reported outcomes
