On June 1st – 2nd, the NIH Pain Consortium will convene the 17th Annual NIH Pain Consortium Symposium on Advances in Pain Research via a virtual platform. The symposium: “Pain Management Through the Lens of Whole Person Health,” will address the application of a “whole person” lens to pain conditions along the spectrum of translational science, from the biological basis to multicomponent interventions and treatment that will ultimately improve patient outcomes and pain management. Topics will include the consideration of pain conditions and models through the lens of whole person health, integrating data science and multi-modal approaches into analyses and treatments, and methods for engaging patients and other stakeholders in the whole person approach to pain management.
