New scenarios pain management procedures in in traumatology drive us to propose new specialization programs that meet the real needs of experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate new advances into their Doctor practice”

The pharmacological and technological advances in the last decade have undoubtedly facilitated a comprehensive approach to pain. However, despite all this, the incidence of pain is high, being considered the main clinical complication that prevents surgical patient hospital discharge, and the main cause for failure in the outpatient surgery setting. 

This postgraduate certificatee aims to show all the conceptual, organizational, pharmacological and technological innovations related to the new approach to pain. Training specific units and multidisciplinary groups seeks to provide an effective response to this burdensome and frequent health problem. 

It addresses all the most current topics in the treatment of chronic and acute postoperative pain, focusing especially on the latest aspects of its treatment and the various strategies to combat it. Likewise, we have tried to ensure that the topics chosen are of maximum interest to anesthesiologists or other physicians close to this specialty, with special emphasis on specialized loco-regional and invasive techniques management.

You will be able to learn, through the latest educational technology, the most recent advances in Pain Therapeutics”

This postgraduate certificate in Pain Therapeutics is the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features of the course are:

• Clinical cases presented by specialists in anesthesiology and other areas. The graphic, schematic, and eminently practical contents with which they are created, provide provide scientific and healthcare training on those medical disciplines that are essential to professional practice
• Real high-resolution images of pathologies, diagnostic imaging tests and guided procedures.
• Presentation of practical workshops on procedures and therapeutic techniques for pain control.
• An algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in the clinical situations presented throughout the course.
• All of this will be complemented by theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments.
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection.

This postgraduate certificate may be the best investment you can make when choosing a refresher program for two reasons: in addition to updating your knowledge of postgraduate certificate, you will obtain a qualification from TECH Global University”

The teaching staff is made up of a team of leading anesthesiologists, who bring to this training the experience of their work, in addition to recognized specialists in other medical areas.

The multimedia content developed with the latest educational technology will provide the physician with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive training programmed to train in real situations.

Problem-Based Learning underpins this program design, and the specialists must use it to try and solve the different professional practice situations that arise throughout the course. For this reason, you will be assisted by an innovative, interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts in the field of psychology with extensive teaching experience.

Incorporate the latest developments in Pain Therapeutics to your medical practice and improve patient prognosis"

It includes real clinical cases to bring medical practice as close as possible to the development of the program"

The main objective is to facilitate the incorporation of the advances that are being made in Pain Therapeutics, ensuring that  specialists can update their knowledge in a practical way, with the latest educational technology and adapting the educational process to their real needs.

This refresher program will generate a sense of confidence in decision making during pain control procedures for patients, and will help you grow professionally”

General Objective

Update specialist physician knowledge in procedures and therapeutic techniques to control pain in the patient, incorporating these advances to increase the quality of their daily medical practice and improve prognosis.

Specific Objectives

• Update procedures of multimodal approach to postoperative pain, as well as its characteristics and the evaluation of acute postoperative.
• Incorporate advances in patient-controlled analgesia procedures into routine practice.
• Update pharmacological applications in the regional anesthesia setting (ketamine, clonidine, neostigmine, corticosteroids, and NSAIDs).
• Update the technical procedure that facilitates the approach to the different techniques for regional anesthesia.
• Describe progress on specific blockages: PECs block, TAP blocks, serratus block, rectus abdominis sheath block, ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric block.
• Describe advances in specific blocks: interscalene, supraclavicular, infraclavicular, axillary and terminal nerve blocks.
• Describe the advances in specific blocks: femoral, femorocutaneous, interfascial, obturator, sciatic, terminal blocks at thigh, leg and foot level.
• Refer and detect potential complications derived from the performance of regional technique
• Assess the implications of patient safety in anesthesiology-
• Incorporate new concepts in the pathophysiology of chronic pain into daily practice, such as hyperalgesia, hyperexcitability, neuromodulation, transition from acute to chronic pain and other emerging concepts in pain pathophysiology.
• Update on chronic pain assessment instruments, such as questionnaires, self-recording, health monitoring systems and other novel pain assessment tools, such as computerized quantitative sensory assessment, infrared thermography and other instruments for assessing the intensity or other components of pain.
• Review diagnostic imaging procedures in chronic pain.
• Incorporate the contributions of imaging techniques (CT, MRI, scintigraphy,
• SPECT, SPECT-CT) in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic pain into diagnostic practice.
• Develop the psychosocial approach to chronic pain in painful experiences and psychosocial factors that modulate pain intensity.
• Incorporate pharmacological novelties in analgesia, especially the new drug delivery systems and the contributions of new adjuvants in the treatment of chronic pain.
• Update on ultrasound-guided invasive procedures in the treatment of pain.
• Use of ultrasound as a guide for invasive techniques in the treatment of chronic pain.Use of ultrasound to guide invasive techniques in chronic pain management
• Describe the main aspects of epiduroscopy in pain diagnosis and treatment, as well as diagnostic epiduroscopy, adhesiolysis, holmium laser, radiofrequency and epiduroscopy in the treatment of chronic low back pain.
• Identify advances in radiofrequency techniques in chronic pain treatment, with emphasis on thermal, pulsed and cold radiofrequency techniques.
• Recognize advances in acute postoperative pain management. Preventive and multimodal analgesia.
