Status Traumaticus: A Trauma Informed Approach to Chronic Pain

This session, presented by Brian Kaufman, DO, FACP, FACOI, is designed to familiarize learners with the principles of the neurobiology of the traumatized patient and illuminate the salient concepts that are germane to the presentations and treatment of patients with chronic pain. Dr. Kaufman is a pain management and addiction physician at Granite State Pain Associates/ROAD to a Better Life. After listening to this podcast, practitioners should be able to identify several key aspects of behavior and presentation in patients with chronic pain who have a history of trauma, as well as utilize these concepts when interacting and treating these patients to improve outcomes and pain scores.
