 | Module 1 — "Understanding,
Impact, and Awareness" (11 Slides)
 | A tremendous amount of progress has been made in
pain management as a result of better understanding of the physiologic
mechanisms of pain and the pathologic basis of pain syndromes. The
development of new products for pain management- new drugs, new
formulations of existing drugs, and alternate drug-delivery systems-
has resulted as a natural outgrowth of increased awareness and
understanding. Download these slides on "Understanding, Impact, and
Awareness" and use them to educate your colleagues about this
important area of pain management. |
