Course Description
Pain is the result of complex interactions within the nervous system, beginning at the level of the Neuron. In this session, the instructor explores how sensory signals are transmitted, processed, and ultimately perceived as pain. Participants will examine how peripheral input is integrated within central neural pathways and how the brain modulates these signals. The lecture highlights how neuroplastic changes can contribute to chronic pain conditions, emphasizing the dynamic nature of pain perception. By understanding the journey from neuron to pain, clinicians can develop more targeted approaches to assessment and treatment in patients experiencing acute or chronic pain.
What you’ll learn:
- Understand how neurons transmit sensory information.
- Recognize how pain signals are processed in the nervous system.
- Identify pathways involved in pain perception and modulation.
- Explore neuroplasticity in chronic pain conditions.
- Apply neuroscience concepts to pain management strategies.
