[Scirehab-UW] New SCI Forum video and report on Chronic Pain after Spinal Cord Injury

Dear Northwest Regional Spinal Cord Injury System Subscribers:

 

The SCI Forum presentation Multidisciplinary Management of Pain in Spinal Cord Injury:  An Approach to Improve Pain, Function and Psychological Coping is now available on our website as streaming video and written report at: http://sci.washington.edu/info/forums/reports/pain_2010.asp

 

Chronic pain is a common, disabling and distressing condition for many people with spinal cord injury. In this SCI Forum presentation, three chronic pain experts from the Rehabilitation Institute of Washington discuss current knowledge about chronic pain and the best ways to treat and manage it. The speakers are Dr. Kathleen Burgess, physiatrist; Randy Hermans, physical therapist; and Dr. James Moore, psychologist and RIW director. Presented on June 8, 2010 at the University of Washington Medical Center.

After watching the video, please give us your feedback using the "two-minute survey" link on the forum page, or go directly to https://catalysttools.washington.edu/webq/survey/csalzman/26614.

We now have 25 videos about living with spinal cord injury available for online viewing at http://sci.washington.edu/info/forums/forum_videos.asp.
