Indian Society for Study of Pain – 2014 National Conference at Mumbai

ISSPCON 2014

Relieving pain is a multi-disciplinary endeavour. Better management of pain is far more than simple administration of an adequate opioid or a nerve block done in a jiffy. It entails regulatory reform, humane care of the sufferer, and importantly championing evidence-based practices.

It is clear that we are not consistently meeting the challenge of optimal pain management for a variety of reasons, including lack of knowledge. The Indian Society for Study of Pain's (ISSP) annual scientific meeting takes place at Mumbai in February 2014.

In the previous years the well attended workshops and panel discussions were testament to the high quality discussions carried out in an Indian context. We caught up briefly with Dr. Kailash Kothari, Organizing Secretary of ISSPCON 2014.
