SPS Annual Congress 2023
Dear colleagues,
On behalf of the Swiss Pain Society and the Scientific Committee, we are pleased to invite you to our annual meeting 2023 on the theme of «Integrative Pain Management», which will take place on Friday, November 10, 2023 at the CHUV, Lausanne.
The year 2023 has been declared as the global year of integrative pain management by the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP). For this reason, we wanted to start our congress with a roundtable to give an overview of integrative pain medicine in the different swiss hospitals. In the program we included sessions about TENS, Fascia, Phytotherapy and Yoga. Don’t miss out on the Industry Talk of Grünenthal and say hello to our exhibitors during Coffee and Lunch break.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Lausanne, are excited having a lively exchange with each of you between the educational lectures and within the meeting possibilities of our Special Interest Groups.
