IASP 2023 Global Year for Integrative Pain Care Webinar Series: “Traditional Approaches for Chronic Pain”

Traditional Approaches for Chronic Pain!

As a part of IASP’s 2023 Global Year for Integrative Pain Care, this webinar is free – though registration is still required. To become an IASP member, you can join here, or you can register to become a non-member here.

Since prehistoric times, traditional medicine has been used for a variety of painful conditions around the world. With the rise of Western medicine, traditional interventions gradually lost their utility, however, forms of traditional medicine are still being practiced in different parts of the world at varying levels. The balanced application of traditional medicine and Western medicine may provide effective relief for select chronic pain conditions and is a part of integrative pain care (watch a previous 2023 Global Year webinar here).

Although local wisdom of traditional medicine is available in every culture in every region of the world, we will focus on traditional medicine practices across Asia as examples of non-Western approaches. This webinar will discuss the theory and systematic study that supports the efficacy and current context for the practice of traditional medicine in East Asia, South Asia, and South East Asia.

Participants include:
— Tian Guihua, MD, West China School of Clinical Medicine, Sichuan University, China
Traditional Medicine Practice in East Asia: Moxibustion and Acupuncture – What is it and Does it Work for Pain?
— Harish Bhakuni, MD, PhD, National Institute of Ayurveda, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
