The 14th Congress of the European Pain Federation EFIC, taking place in Lyon, France, from 24–26 April 2025, offers a rich programme designed to help clinicians apply the latest pain science to their daily practice. At #EFIC2025, expert-led sessions will cover key clinical challenges, including risk factors for pain development, multidisciplinary approaches to patient self-management, and the role of opioids in perioperative care. Workshops will explore cutting-edge topics such as non-invasive neuromodulation, motor behavior in pain management, pain and mental health in neurodevelopmental disorders, and stress-pain interactions. Attendees will also gain insights into the social dimensions of pain and the integration of technology-based therapies into clinical practice. Join us in Lyon to enhance your clinical expertise with practical, evidence-based strategies.
These sessions focus on sessions relevant to clinicians for applying knowledge into their daily practice at #EFIC2025:
