About the Harvard Pain Conference 2026

Transform your approach to pain management with this comprehensive, expert-led educational program. The course explores current advances in the evaluation and treatment of acute, chronic, neuropathic, musculoskeletal and cancer-related pain across diverse patient populations.

Pain remains undertreated in many clinical settings, while inappropriate use of certain therapies may lead to avoidable complications. This program addresses these challenges through a practical review of pharmacologic, behavioral, rehabilitative and interventional treatment options.

Faculty expertise spans anesthesiology, neurology, psychiatry, psychology, internal medicine, physical medicine and rehabilitation, orthopedic surgery, interventional radiology, neurosurgery and palliative care. Special attention is given to opioid prescribing, opioid tapering, addiction management, interventional procedures, regenerative therapies and non-pharmacologic approaches.
