Topical Concurrent Session 3A – Pain and PTSD, shared suffering?

Description

Pain and PTSD, shared suffering?

Chair: Professor Alexander McFarlane, University of Adelaide, SA
This topical session will highlight how PTSD has multiple somatic and cognitive manifestations that are not given sufficient attention in the diagnosis of the disorder. The shared neurobiology with pain and the immune dysregulation of the disorder need systematic assessment in accident victims and other populations who have experienced major psychological trauma.

Presenters:
Professor Alexander McFarlane, University of Adelaide, SA
Kristin Graham, University of Adelaide, SA
Dr Carolyn Berryman, University of Adelaide, SA
