FOREWORD This book
contains selected lectures from the "12th International Pain Clinic of
the World Society of Pain Clinicians" held in Turin on 4-7 July 2006.
For over twenty years, the WSPC has upheld its commitment to disseminate
the pain related knowledge and medical information to the pain
clinicians of the world. Therefore we are happy for the large
participation of members from different countries and with different
background and cultures who came to Turin. Over the years, this
important appointment in the life of our society, which occurs every two
years, has become a reference event for those researchers and clinicians
interested in the development of pain medicine as a specific discipline.
At the meeting we had the
participation of more than one hundred invited clinical experts of
unquestionable international fame to give a broad range of lectures,
workshops and seminars and discuss clinical issues, technical details
and the various "secrets of the trade"
of various pain conditions and managements.
Current academic studies in pain
medicine are showing that the solution to the problems of the pain
patients, especially chronic pain, requires a common language among the
clinicians, the utilization of shared pain assessments, RCT studies and
validated pain managements but also a scientific arena like the
International Pain Clinic where to debate controversial issues, discuss
clinical and technical progress, exchange opinions and experiences.
Today new concepts are facing in the
international scene. These are the recognition of chronic pain as a
disease "per se" and
the consideration that an adequate pain management is not only an
humanitarian need and a religious must but primarily a human right.
Since pain is a multidimensional and
extremely complex phenomenon this book offers a broad range of updated
lectures capable to satisfy the needs of all those who are interested in
an international perspective in pain medicine.
I join the publisher in thanking all
members of the WSPC board, members of the various committees, and mostly
invited speakers for their contribution to the success of the meeting
and dedication to the finalization of this editorial project.
