PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Dear Colleagues;
As President of the Canadian Pain Society, it gives me great pleasure to invite you to the Annual Conference of
the Canadian Pain Society which will be held this year in Québec City from May 27-30. The CPS Scientific Program
Committee and Local Arrangements Committee have made great efforts to make this Conference a memorable
event both scientifically and socially, and the CPS is very grateful to them and to the many sponsors who have
made this Conference possible. Both the venue and list of speakers are outstanding, and the Conference with its
theme of “Pain – Translating Knowledge into Care” provides a wonderful opportunity for participants to engage in
knowledge translation at the Conference sessions themselves and through less formal interactions with
colleagues. You are also encouraged to explore the numerous exhibit booths at the Conference as well as of
course the many delights offered by Québec City, Canada’s oldest city and a UNESCO World Heritage site. I look
forward to welcoming you personally to the Annual Conference in May.
Barry J. Sessle, President, Canadian Pain Society
MESSAGE DU PRÉSIDENT
Chers collègues,
En tant que président de la Société canadienne de la douleur, il me fait grand plaisir de vous inviter au congrès annuel de la Société
canadienne de la douleur qui se déroulera à Québec du 27 au 30 mai 2009. Le comité du programme scientifique de la SCD et les comité des
arrangements locaux ont déployé tous les efforts pour faire de ce congrès un événement mémorable tant du point de vue scientifique que
social. La SCD remercie de tout cœur les membres de ces comités ainsi que les nombreux commanditaires qui ont rendu ce congrès possible.
Les lieux et les conférenciers du congrès sont exceptionnels. Cet événement, qui a pour thème « La science au service du traitement de la
douleur », offrira une excellente occasion aux participants de recevoir et de partager des connaissances dans le cadre des séances
professionnelles du congrès et en échangeant avec leurs collègues. Nous vous encourageons aussi à visiter les nombreux kiosques et, bien
sûr, à explorer les charmes et les merveilles de la ville de Québec, la plus ancienne ville du Canada et site du patrimoine mondial de
l'UNESCO. Il me fera plaisir de vous accueillir personnellement à notre congrès annuel en mai.
Barry J. Sessle, Président, Société canadienne de la douleur
COMMITTEE MESSAGE
A warm welcome to all of this year’s delegates of the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Pain
Society. We are fortunate to have this year’s meeting in scenic Québec City, Canada’s oldest city,
steeped in heritage. The theme of our meeting is ‘Pain: Translating Science into Care”, a theme
that reflects the shifting values of conscientious consumers, scientists, clinicians, and today’s
accountable research funding organizations who support clinical and basic science pain research.
As the Canadian Institutes of Health Research has defined it, knowledge translation is a ‘dynamic
and iterative process that includes synthesis, dissemination, exchange and ethically sound
application of knowledge to improve the health of Canadians.’ We trust that you will find this
year’s meeting informative, and that you will find Québec City, a UNESCO World Heritage site, a
perfect milieu for dynamic and congenial exchange with your national and international
colleagues, engaged in the latest clinical and research innovations in pain. Bienvenue à Québec!
MESSAGE DU COMITÉ
Nous souhaitons une chaleureuse bienvenue à tous les délégués de cette assemblée annuelle de la Société canadienne de la douleur.
Cette année, l’assemblée se déroule dans la ravissante ville de Québec, la plus ancienne ville du Canada avec un riche patrimoine
historique et culturel. L’assemblée a pour thème « La science au service du traitement de la douleur », un thème qui reflète l’évolution
des valeurs des consommateurs, des scientifiques et des cliniciens consciencieux, ainsi que des organismes de financement qui appuient
les recherches cliniques et scientifiques sur la douleur. Selon la définition des Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada, l'application des
connaissances est « un processus dynamique et itératif qui englobe la synthèse et l'application conforme à l'éthique des connaissances -
dans un système complexe d'échanges entre chercheurs et utilisateurs - pour accélérer la concrétisation des avantages de la recherche
pour les Canadiens, à savoir une meilleure santé, de meilleurs produits et services et un système de santé renforcé ». Nous n’avons nul
doute que l’événement de cette année sera très informatif et que vous trouverez la ville de Québec – qui a été déclarée site du
patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO – un lieu idéal pour des échanges dynamiques et amicaux avec vos collègues nationaux et
internationaux qui oeuvrent aux dernières innovations cliniques et scientifiques en traitement de la douleur. Bienvenue à Québec!

DIFFUSE PAIN IN FIBROMYALGIA: FROM NEUROPHYSIOLOGY TO CLINICAL
OBSERVATION
Serge Marchand, PhD, Director of Pain Research, Université de Sherbrooke, Faculty of Medicine, Neurosurgery,
Sherbrooke, Québec
Patients suffering from fibromyalgia present diffuse pain symptoms that are not characteristics of neurogenic pain.
However, some neurophysiological mechanisms, such as a disturbance of endogenous pain modulation systems, may help
understanding the mechanisms implicated. During this talk I will introduce some of our work on different factors that are
affecting the efficacy of these endogenous pain modulation mechanisms and discuss how diffuse pain may result from a
central imbalance in endogenous excitatory and inhibitory mechanisms. Recent data will be presented supporting our
understanding of the neurophysiological mechanisms of diffuse pain in fibromyalgia with some references to the clinical
signs observed in the fibromyalgia patients.

TRANSLATING MECHANISMS OF PAIN
Chair: Michael McGillion, RN, PhD, Assistant Professor, Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, University of
Toronto, Toronto, Ontario
FROM CENTRAL SENSITIZATION TO PAIN: WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE?
Fernando Cervero, MD, PhD, DSc, Director of the Alan Edwards Centre for Research on Pain, McGill
University, Montral, Québec
The concept of a “central sensitization” to pain is often quoted as being the cause of many pain states,
yet there are various and different interpretations of what this concept means and of its significance to
the perception of pain. The talk will address this problem by linking clinically relevant pain states with the
appropriate basic science data.
PROTEINASE ACTIVATED RECEPTORS AND PAIN
Nathalie Vergnolle, MD, PhD, Director of Research INSERM U563, Toulouse, France / Associate Professor,
Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta
Proteases, through the activation of Protease-Activated Receptors (PARs) can signal to sensory neurons
and interfere with the transmission of pain. Depending on the proteolytic environment of nerves and on
the type of PARs that is activated, pro-or anti-nociceptive effects can be observed. Evidences have now
been raised that proteases and their receptors have to be considered as potential therapeutic targets for
the treatment of pain.

MAXIMIZING CAREER SUCCESS AFTER GRADUATE STUDIES
Chair: Melanie Noel, MSc, Canadian Pain Society Trainee Representative; Clinical Psychology
PhD Student, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia
Trainees often find it challenging to determine which career path to take after graduate school. The trainee session will explore career development and life
after graduate school. Presentations will be given by two successful, new researchers, Dr. Simon Beggs and Dr. Anna Wilson, who represent basic science and
clinical perspectives. They will share their own personal journeys during and following graduate school and offer valuable tips about how to seize opportunities
and increase career success.
Learning Objectives:
1. To become exposed to possible career paths following graduate school.
2. To gain information about career development from both clinical and basic science perspectives.
3. To learn about how to seize opportunities both during and after graduate school in order to maximize career success.

These workshops: offer participants a rationale for standardizing the examination and documentation of the sensory examination in patients presenting with
symptoms of neuropathic pain; provide participants with suggestions for specific tools and methodology to aid in performing, documenting and interpreting
the examination findings; and demonstrate, in a small group interactive hands-on format, semi-quantitative methods using bedside quantitative sensory pain
testing (QSPT) for eliciting sensory signs of neuropathic pain. The workshop will specifically demonstrate methods useful for the documentation of sensory
loss and sensory gain. The potential benefits and shortcomings of this examination will be reviewed. For participants who wish to purchase a tool kit
containing two standardized examination tools, the Somedic brush and Neuropen, these will be available for a subsidized cost of $30.00 per kit payable at the
time you register for the workshop. IF YOU ARE NOT BUYING A KIT PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN TOOLS TO USE DURING THE WORKSHOP AS EXTRAS WILL
NOT BE AVAILABLE. Documentation and interpretation tools will be freely available to all participants.

DEPENDENT YET DEVELOPING: NEW THEORIZING ON THE UNIQUE SOCIAL CONTEXT OF
INFANT PAIN
Rebecca R. Pillai Riddell, BA Spec. Hons, MA, PhD, CPsych. Canadian Institutes of Health Research New
Investigator, Assistant Professor, Department of Psychology, York University, Toronto, Ontario;
2009 Early Career Award Recipient
The caregiver-infant relationship during the first year of life is often the primary milieu for the early acquisition of distress
regulation. Based on a developing program of research focused on empirically exploring the implications of caregivers on
infant pain-related distress, new theoretical hypotheses will be presented that accounts for the unique developmental
trajectory of
infancy.
THE COMPLEX STORY OF SLEEP RESTRICTION ON PAIN PERCEPTION

Surgery, Hôpital du Sacré Cœur and Faculte de medecine dentaire, Université de Montréal, Montréal, Québec;
2009 Distinguished Career Award Recipient
Restrictions in sleep (forced delayed sleep onset, shorter duration) or specific sleep-stage deprivation (deep non-REM or
REM) may induce somatic pain complaints in subsequent days and may also influence pain threshold or tolerance ratings.
Recent data suggest that endogenous analgesic processes (e.g., DNIC) are also disrupted by interferences in sleep
continuity and that the subject’s expectation of placebo analgesia may be related to the duration of REM sleep.
