Event Overview:

According the Centers for Disease Control, chronic pain affects 20% of U.S adults and it is the top reason for adults to seek medical care. It is not uncommon for chronic pain to lead to other symptoms such as depression, anxiety, insomnia, and fatigue. The current accepted pharmacological pain management options to manage chronic pain include opioids, muscle relaxers, NSAID’s, antidepressants and anticonvulsants.
