2013 EACPT Geneva Congress Symposia: New targets for pain treatment

-->

Abstract submission is now open for the next EACPT Congress, to be held in Geneva 28-31 August 2013. The congress includes symposia, keynote lectures and peer-reviewed oral and poster communications

Symposium on new targets for pain treatment

Chronic pain and neuropathic pain in particular are a medical challenge as they are poorly responsive to classical peripheral anti-inflammatory or powerful, centrally-acting analgesics.

Since our understanding of the mechanisms generating pain has noticeably increased, the idea of targeting key molecules has emerged and a mechanism-based approach to treatment has been advocated. This concept will be discussed in this session, from a basic science point of view as well as with the clinical example of HIV neuropathy.

Oral short communications will be selected abstracts are most welcome!
