More Symposium Handouts Available for Downloading

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I've just finished posting a number of new files on the main PAI

website that contain some more of the handouts that were distributed

at the 4th Annual Symposium on Pancreatitis that was held this past

August on the campus of Indiana University in Indianapolis, IN. This

latest set has to do with the session on Pain Management, which was

presented by Dr. Neil Irick, a pain management specialist here in

Indianapolis. There are 6 or 7 separate .pdf (Adobe Acrobat) files

with the slides and lecture notes. Topics include:

Pharmacological Pain Management (role of analgesics, non-analgesics,

narcotics, anti-depressants, antil-convulsants, etc)

Non-Pharmacological Pain Management (Behavior Modification,

Biofeedback, Accupuncture, etc)

Interventional Approaches - nerve blocks, stiumulators, interthecal

pumps

Tolerance vs. Dependance vs. Addiction vs. Pseudoaddiction -

important distinctions!

To view/download them, go to

Hope you will find this information helpful.

Cheers,
