All pain begins acutely with activation of nociceptive pathways. In this module you will explore the basic sciences underpinning the pain experience – anatomy of the nervous system, physiology and pharmacology of pain and pain therapeutics. You will examine common acute pain scenarios, for example post-operative, and different approaches to optimal pain management including prevention of chronicity of the pain state.
