Explore case studies to clear up some common misconceptions about pain management and delve into lesser-known topics, like pharmacology. You’ll cover issues like opioid dosages and duration, discrimination, individualized pain management, and multi-modal pain management approaches. You’ll also discover the differences between addition, tolerance, and dependence as they relate to pain management.
