Focus on Patients: Share Your Insights at PAINWeek 2025

Pain care isn’t just about treatment protocols; it’s about truly understanding each patient’s journey and creating compassionate, individualized approaches. With over 50 million adults in the U.S. affected by chronic pain—and 20 million facing high-impact chronic pain—the demand for patient-centered care is at an all-time high.

Why Present at PAINWeek 2025?

September 2-5 in Las Vegas, PAINWeek 2025 offers a unique platform for healthcare professionals who want to drive change in pain care. Here, you can share your insights, connect with like-minded peers, and contribute to the conversation on advancing compassionate, effective pain care.

Whether you are a clinical, legal, business, or public policy expert, your voice can impact clinical care nationwide.

Patient-Centered Care Matters in Pain Management

Pain impacts every dimension of a patient’s life, from physical well-being to mental and social health. Yet, many clinicians feel unprepared to fully support these complex needs. Recognizing this gap, PAINWeek 2025 focuses on patient-centered care, offering sessions to provide evidence-based, actionable strategies beyond textbook protocols. This holistic perspective empowers attendees to make a meaningful difference in their pain management practice.

Past attendees have highlighted how PAINWeek redefines their approach to pain care. As Dr. Serge Tambwe Kongolo shared: “I’ve learned more at PAINWeek than anywhere else. The best part is bringing that knowledge back to my community as a pioneer and leader.”

Sessions Focused on Real-World, Patient-Centered Solutions

This year, we invite proposals for sessions on a wide range of topics that integrate innovation, care, and resilience.

Palliative Care: Going beyond pain relief to support patients with terminal conditions and their families with compassion and dignity.
Health Coaching: Empowering patients to take an active role in their care journey and helping patients set meaningful goals, build resilience, and manage pain effectively between visits.
Patient Perspectives: Understanding pain through the eyes of patients themselves. Firsthand accounts reinforce the value of empathy and inspire clinicians to adopt patient-centered care approaches.
Pediatric Pain Management: Learning age-appropriate strategies to address pain in children, involving young patients and their families in a supportive, family-centered environment.
Women’s Health: Specific sessions addressing gender-specific pain challenges, helping create trust and deliver care that reflects the female patient experience.
