Summary of the episode :

In this episode of Let's Talk About Pain, we discuss the transition from acute to chronic pain after surgery or injury. What are the risks or factors that can predict this transition? Can it be prevented with pharmacotherapy? Or interventions that don't include medication? In this episode, we summarize a thematic session on this topic that was presented at the World Pain Congress 2022, and discuss with Dr. Giovanni Berardi about a U.S. consortium that is seeking to determine the factors that predict the transition to chronic pain after surgery or injury.
