Memory and Pain

A reminder for you folks in Adelaide Australia: CRPS night Monday 5th of November @ North Adelaide community centre. To register: Tracy.Jones@unisa.edu.au

Please support if you can, we still have a long way to go to create a new intervention aimed at reducing pain for cancer survivors. Please share / contribute so that we can get this off the ground.

Read what Lorimer has to say here ‘Pain after Cancer.  Let’s take it on‘.

Young people with CRPS and parents/caregivers are needed for research being conducted at Bath University

The study involves asking young people (14-25 years) with CRPS and parents of young people with CRPS to complete a 20-25 online survey which asks them to think about their future.  Study recruitment is being conducted separately for both young people and parents. Please email crpsstories@bath.ac.uk if you would like to take part. Participants will be paid for their time.

PainAdelaide 2019 is locked in for TUESDAY MARCH 12th.

For you interstaters / internationallers – it is the day after Womad so combine a trip to the Festival City with one of the world’s truly great music festivals. Put it in your diary and we will let you know as soon as registration is up and running.

We have secured some great speakers already – Dr Melanie Noel from Calgary | Dr Lauren Heathcote from Oxford/Stanford | Dr Siobhan Schabrun | Dr David Seminowicz | Dr David Butler | Joshua Pate | Dr Emma Karran | the infamous PainAdelaide Q & A, some surprises..…..it’s going to be, well, possibly the best little pain meeting in the world.

Lorimer Moseley answering the question “What is the thing that annoys you most when we talk about back pain?”

How do CRPS and other chronic pain conditions affect bodily functions, sensations, and mood? Help CRPS researcher Janet Bultitude find out by responding to her survey.

Listen to Lorimer Moseley talk to Karim Khan on new understanding of pain and focusing on the patient.

Watch this public evening at UQ’s Institute for Molecular Biosciences. Some inconsistently with labelling but some awesome science too!

The Body in Mind Research Group is based at The Sansom Institute for Health Research at the University of South Australia in Adelaide and Neuroscience Research Australia in Sydney. We have active collaborations with editors scattered around the world. Together we are seeking a better understanding of the interaction between the body, brain and mind in chronic and complex pain disorders.
