18th Annual Scientific Meeting on Chronic Pelvic Pain
Course Description
The 18th Annual Scientific Meeting has been designed to provide a thorough overview on the evaluation and management of chronic pelvic pain disorders. The meeting emphasizes the multidisciplinary and collaborative approach to the management of chronic pelvic pain. Presentations will combine research findings and clinical care recommendations important to the care of women and men afflicted by chronic pelvic pain. For providers who need a more broad understanding of pelvic neuroanatomy, physiology and available treatments, additional workshops will provide a more basic overview of the evaluation of chronic pelvic pain.
Needs Statement
It is known that millions of patients suffer with disorders that cause chronic pelvic pain. The social, psychological and financial costs associated with treatments of these disorders are enormous. Yet, less than 10% of patients are receiving care from a provider trained in management of chronic pain disorders. Many patients endure being misdiagnosed or receiving inappropriate treatment because of the practitioner’s lack of knowledge on this subject. Unless practitioners and researchers are educated about factors that affect patient care, treatment outcomes and research in chronic pelvic pain disorders, it is likely that patients with chronic pelvic pain will continue to lack appropriate treatment in the future. Furthermore, without exchange of clinical and research information across all disciplines encompassing the treatment of chronic pelvic pain, advances in treatment options for these patients will not be possible.
Target Audience
Gynecologists, urologists, primary care providers, nurses, surgeons, anesthesiologists, neurologists, physical therapists, psychiatrists, neuroscientists.
Course Objectives
At the conclusion of this course, attendees should be able to:
- Describe the neurobiologic and psychosocial factors affecting patients with chronic pelvic pain disorders
- Identify the contributions of the gastrointestinal, urologic, musculoskeletal and central nervous systems to the development of chronic pelvic pain
- Evaluate the current status of chronic pelvic pain in the community and when appropriate referral should be made
- Describe available treatment options for disorders of female and male chronic pelvic pain including irritable bowel syndrome, interstitial cystitis, and myofascial pain syndromes.
- Identify the necessary steps in the establishment of multidisciplinary pain treatment teams
- Create a referral network for resources specific to the needs of patients with chronic pelvic pain
