PRESIDENT’S UPDATE

We have reached the halfway mark of 2021, and a lot is happening at IASP. I hope you all enjoyed the outstanding scientific sessions and poster presentations from researchers around the globe. Thank you for participating in this long-awaited event. As a reminder, recorded sessions will be available on-demand until 25 June. After which, it will be available on the IASP Pain Education Resource Center (PERC).
As we move into July, IASP will continue to deliver live virtual events. The three-day, nine-session program discovering the latest on COVID-19 and Pain is taking place 20-22 July. We invite you to mark your calendars for the free CE/CME course, focused on uniting the pain community in education and understanding COVID-19 and pain.
Finally, we are already preparing for the IASP 2022 World Congress on Pain in Toronto, 19-23 September. Submissions for refresher courses and hands-on workshop proposals are open until 12 July. This is an excellent opportunity for you to contribute to shaping the education around pain research at the largest gathering of pain professionals from around the world.
I look forward to seeing you at future IASP events.

Get a Real-Life View of the ICD-11 Chronic Pain Classification and Help Test the Study
We invite you to be the first pain specialists to test a decision algorithm aimed to guide individuals through ICD-11 criteria. You will be able to interact with virtual patients and tell us which ICD-11 diagnoses they have. This allows you to see the new ICD-11 diagnoses at work while testing the algorithm.

Early life stress exposure in male mice results in bladder hypersensitivity, increased urine output, and urogenital mast cell degranulation. Voluntary wheel running normalized these outcomes and increased brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression and neurogenesis in the hippocampus.
