Description

With this postgraduate certificate you will deepen in the most advanced techniques in the evaluation and efficient application of different treatments for musculoskeletal, visceral and craniofacial pain”

Pain is considered a subjective and complex experience that can result from a variety of causes, including injury, disease and surgery. Proper pain management is essential to improve patients' quality of life and reduce the negative impact on their physical and emotional well-being. Worldwide, it is estimated that 80% of patients undergoing surgery experience acute postoperative pain, and between 10-50% of these cases may progress to chronic pain. In addition, chronic pain affects approximately 20% of the world's population, representing a significant burden on both individuals and healthcare systems.

Locoregional anesthesia is a technique that allows blocking pain transmission in specific areas of the body, resulting in less need for systemic analgesics and faster recovery. In addition, proper treatment of acute postoperative pain can decrease the likelihood of developing chronic pain in the future.

To respond to the demand for professionals in this field, TECH has designed the Diploma in Locoregional Anesthesia and Pain Management in which, in only 150 hours, addresses in a comprehensive and updated way the theoretical and practical fundamentals of this field. The syllabus includes a single module dedicated to the study of the different types of pain, the application of locoregional anesthesia in various clinical contexts, and the treatment of specific conditions such as oncologic pain, low back pain, and musculoskeletal pain, among others.

This program is developed in a 100% online format, which facilitates access to education for professionals from all over the world.
