Spreading the Culture of Pain Medicine

See the highlights from the 2023 Mediterranean Pain Forum (MPF) that took place in Cefalu, Italy. This event is pivotal in spreading the culture of pain medicine, considering that chronic pain affects about 35% of the population. The forum features lectures on interventional pain procedures, chronic pain, and neuromodulation, with a panel of international specialists including Miles Day, Simon Thompson, Agnes Stogizka, Rafael Blanc, George Mattis, Sadik Bayani, Shawn Lee, and Armando Barbosa. This gathering presents a unique opportunity for Italian pain physicians to interact with global experts in their field. The scenic location of the forum, facing the sea and near the birthplace of John Bonica, the father of pain medicine, adds to the event’s significance. Attendees can expect benefits such as staying updated on the latest research, networking opportunities, a chance to share knowledge, inspiration from leading experts, and earning continuing education credits.
