Optimal Approaches for the Management of Osteoarthritis and Low Back Pain

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.

This program is supported by an independent education grant funded by

Pfizer Inc., in partnership with Lilly USA, LLC.

Developed through a partnership between Medscape, American Academy of Pain Medicine, New Jersey Academy of Family Physicians, and University of California, San Diego School of Medicine.
