For the very first time, Noigroup is offering its most popular course, Explain Pain, in a fully on-demand format, allowing you to watch, re-watch and learn in a way that works just for you. Explain Pain On Demand is the full two-day course – that’s 13+ hours of recorded material, four hours of which are brand new content! The first sessions introduce you to pain definitions, pain data framework and the notion of complexity. Then, expect to dive deep into nociception vs. pain, inflammation, neuropathic pain, processing changes, neuroimmune interactions, and language. New content covers the endocrine system, stress and pain and links these vital topics to chronic pain and clinical implications, and also introduces broad strategies for pain treatment and management that are available to all health professionals regardless of discipline: moving, eating, and sleeping well.

Together with the professional high-quality videos, you will receive a comprehensive electronic workbook and a carefully curated reading list of the essential papers referenced in each of the 10 sessions – over dozens of full articles to support your learning when you want to take a deeper dive.  *Please note some papers referenced may not be accessible check the list here.
