Over the past decade, the scienfic literature on pain coping has grown enormously. The purpose of this presentaon is 

to highlight recent development in pain coping research and to pinpoint important areas for future research. The 

presentaon is divided into three secons. The first secon describes a conceptual background research on pain coping. 

The second secon provides an overview of empirical studies of pain coping with an emphasis on recent studies of 

methodologies to assess pain coping and intervenons to enhance how individuals cope with persistent pain. The final 

secon highlights several crical issues for future research including the need to examine the social context of pain 

coping, the importance of understanding pain coping in persons having pain comorbid with other condions 

(e.g. obesity), and how to best integrate pain coping assessment and treatment efforts into clinical pracce. 


1. To become familiar with conceptual models underpinning pain coping research. 

2. To understand current approaches to assessing pain coping in persons having persistent pain and to enhancing the use 

and perceived efficacy of pain coping skills. 

3. To become aware of key direcons for future research in the pain coping research area.

Lawrence S. Bloomberg, Faculty of Nursing, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario 

Speakers: Roman Jovey, MD, CPM Centres for Pain Management, Mississauga, Ontario; Rob McEwan, Vice 

President, Argyle Communicaons, Toronto, Ontario 

Background: Among the many skill sets required for a successful career as a basic or clinical pain scienst, lile aenon 

has focused on the development of effecve media relaons. In parcular, most junior sciensts, doctoral, and postdoctoral 

students in Canada do not receive formal media relaonship training. Research, disease related advocacy, and 

in parcular, polically charged pain‐related health and wellness issues, campaigns, and media launches demand that 

researchers and sciensts culvate effecve communicaon skill sets to ensure healthy media relaons. 

Aim: The aim of this student trainee workshop is to provide proacve communicaon strategies of how to navigate and 

strategize for successful media relaons. 


1. Provide ps and strategies in effecve media communicaon from a medical, pain specialist and media experts’ 

perspecve. 

2. Discuss what challenges arise in polically charged pain‐related media issues and how one may approach a difficult 

queson, inference, or interview. 

3. Provide experienal examples of successful media relaons from a clinical and/or basic pain sciensts or media 

experts’ perspecve. 

4. Provide trainees a viable strategy in order to effecvely communicate with the media about their research.

Objecve: Many youths will suffer from persistent pain into adulthood. Lile is known about these youths’ transion 

experiences as they move into adult health care systems. Furthermore, youth are expected to assume increasing 

responsibility for disease management concomitant with their growing independence and autonomy. In the absence of 

a cure or total pain relief for this group, the prevenon of pain‐related disability and improving quality of life through 

beer chronic pain self‐management and transional care becomes crical. 


1. An overview of theory on adolescent development and transion care. 

2. Research on the informaon and service needs of youths with chronic pain in Canada. 

3. Perspecves from an adult chronic pain program and a young adult who successfully transioned. There will be me 

alloed for interacve discussion regarding how we can beer promote transional care in youth with chronic pain in 

Canada.

Speakers: Arden McGregor, MA, CPsychAssoc, CBIST; Hristos (Chris) Papastamos, BRE, MA, Brainworks 

Objecve: This workshop will crically analyze the literature which posits that the muldisciplinary treatment of the 

whole person with chronic pain goes beyond simply the mind and the body. Clinically useful models of spirituality, along 

with spiritual exercises and strategies will be presented, so that praconers from various disciplines can enhance the 

assessment and treatment of persons with chronic pain. Resources will be provided, along with praccal examples and 

suggesons regarding using the material in various contexts. 


1. To raise awareness regarding “why” to include spirituality in chronic pain treatment. 

2. To learn specific ways “how” to include spirituality in both the assessment and treatment of chronic pain. 

3. To understand the praccalies of using a combined spiritual/health care approach (e.g. gaining funding approval for 

treatment, avoiding adherence to parcular religions, selecon of elements of different faiths, overcoming barriers 

presented by working cross faiths).

OBJECTIVE: To provide learning of diabec peripheral neuropathy pain: models, assessment techniques, and 

clinical trials. As an epidemic of diabetes mellitus (DM) connues to grow, the prevalence of diabec 

peripheral neuropathy (DPN) has swelled. One of the main symptomac features of DPN is the presence of 

neuropathic pain (NeP). Present in about 50% of paents with DPN, NeP is a source of immobility, insomnia, 

and impaired quality of life. Frequently, animal models of DPN are used to provide a plaorm for 

therapeuc iniaves. Models of DPN are usually rodent models with genec or induced forms of diabetes. 

Assessment of these models raises new challenges in interpretaon of findings and in the translaon of 

animal findings to human clinical trials. Determinaon of NeP behaviors and the procedures used to define 

the presence of pain are oen not analogous to behaviors that human paents with DPN and NeP may 

exhibit. Animal models of diabetes also possess important differences from their human counterparts with 

diabetes. Hurdles such as these may have contributed to the dearth of posive randomized controlled 

clinical trials showing great efficacy in NeP relief. This seminar will review the animal models and 

experimental procedures used, the problems with translaon of these findings to human clinical studies, 

and review the most updated results of human clinical trials in NeP due to DPN. 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 

1. To describe the most common models of diabec peripheral neuropathy and their assessment. 

2. To illustrate the hurdles in translaon from the laboratory to the clinic, and vice versa. 

3. To interpret the results of clinical trials in humans with diabec peripheral neuropathy. 

306—EMERGING ROLE FOR NERVE GROWTH FACTOR IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF

Chair: Brian Cairns, PhD, University of Brish Columbia, Vancouver, Brish Columbia 

Speakers: Brian Cairns, PhD, University of Brish Columbia, Vancouver, Brish Columbia; Andre Dray, PhD, 

Astra‐Zeneca, Montreal, Quebec 

Objecve: NGF is a neurotrophic protein that exerts its biological effects by acng on two different receptors: tyrosine 

kinase receptor A (TrkA) and p75 receptor. It is thought that in the periphery NGF is responsible for maintaining the 

sensivity of primary afferent fibers and that up regulaon of NGF can result in alteraons in pain related behavior. 

Pre‐clinical research will be overviewed that indicates that exogenous NGF administraon can lead to the development 

of long‐lasng thermal and mechanical sensivity. The results of human studies that have reported long‐lasng muscle 

sensivity can also develop with either systemic or local administraon of NGF will be discussed. The emerging 

challenges of using an‐NGF therapies to treat pain in several difficult to treat chronic pain condions will be presented. 


Aendees will learn about: 

1. The effects of elevated NGF ssue levels on nocicepve processing in animal models. 

2. Translaon of animal models to human experimental models of pain. 

3. The therapeuc potenal of new treatments that are aimed at inhibing the effects of elevated NGF levels in chronic 

pain condions.
