HOMEOPATHY IN PAIN MANAGEMENT
From clinical practice to research
According to the International Association for the Study of Pain, “Pain is defined as an unpleasant
sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or
described in terms of such damage”.
Pain can be experienced both on a physical and/or psychological level. Acute pain is defined
as chronic when it has persisted beyond 3 months, when it has not responded to treatments
in a satisfactory manner, and when it has induced a significant and progressive deterioration of
functional and relational abilities.
Individual differences in pain sensitivity exist. Pain triggers a behavioral reaction, corresponding
to the way we cope with pain, try to give it meaning, forget about it or learn to live with it.
Although essential for a therapeutic indication, the evaluation of pain is complex because it
is subjective. For effective pain management, physicians must take into account their patient as
a unique and whole individual.
Even if there are many effective conventional treatments they can in some cases be contraindicated
or inadequate. An additional therapeutic is needed to increase the efficacy of treatment
and/or compensate their side effects.
During these 2 days we will explore how homeopathy can help with pain management, and
how it can contribute to the progression of research.
