Clinical Advances in
Low back pain and osteoarthritis are two of the most common pain conditions encountered by clinicians. Chronic pain is often mismanaged and its treatment remains complex. The opioid crisis has increased the need to identify novel and established agents to reduce opioid dosing or the overall need for opioid analgesics. This initiative aims to educate clinicians on recognizing and diagnosing the various clinical presentations of chronic pain, individualizing treatment plans, as well as learn about the latest clinical data on novel analgesic targets.
