Tame Your Pain...An Inside Look at Conventional and Alternative Therapies for Pain Management
‘Tame Your Pain...An Inside Look at
Conventional and Alternative Therapies for Pain Management’ Subject of UA
Arthritis Center Lecture, March 1
Free and open to the
public, the lecture by Dr. Mohab Ibrahim will discuss the causes of chronic
pain and current treatments for arthritis and related joint pain, including
conventional and alternative approaches to pain management and the facts, fads
and fiction associated with this complex medical issue.
Feb.
10, 2017
TUCSON, Ariz. – More than 100 million Americans—about a
third of the population—suffer from chronic pain. More people are affected by
chronic pain than by heart disease, diabetes and cancer combined, and at a cost
of more than $600 billion a year in medical treatments and lost productivity. A
free presentation, “Tame Your Pain ... An Inside Look at Conventional and
Alternative Therapies for Pain Management,” will be held Wednesday,
March 1, 6-7:15 p.m., at Banner – University
Medical Center Tucson, DuVal Auditorium, 1501 N. Campbell Ave., Tucson.
The 75-minute talk will include time for questions and answers.
Pain
alerts us that something is wrong, but when it persists for an extended period
of time after healing it becomes chronic pain. Pain that fails to serve a
protective function is pathological pain. Arthritis causes the most common type
of pathological pain.
Pain
can be considered a disease, not just a symptom of a disease. Pain specialists
identify the type of pain and tailor the therapy accordingly. There is no “one
size fits all.” Most pain specialists will avoid opioid medications to manage
arthritis pain. Opioids are good for the short term, but when taken
chronically, negative factors emerge which may outweigh the benefit of pain
control.
Speaker Mohab Ibrahim, MD, PhD, director of the Comprehensive Pain
Management Clinic
at Banner – University Medical Center South, UA assistant professor of
anesthesiology and pharmacology, and director of the Chronic Pain Fellowship
Program at the UA College of
Medicine – Tucson,
will present a detailed discussion of the causes of chronic pain and the
current available treatments for arthritis and related joint pain, including
the associated side effects.
Dr.
Ibrahim will present the latest conventional and alternative approaches to pain
management while highlighting the facts, fads and fiction associated with this
complex medical issue.
Dr.
Ibrahim earned a bachelor’s degree with honors in biochemistry and a master’s
degree and doctorate in pharmacology and toxicology from the University of Arizona.
He graduated from the UA College of Medicine – Tucson in 2008, followed by a
surgical internship at the UA. He completed his residency in anesthesiology,
perioperative and pain medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard
Medical School, in Boston, followed by a clinical pain medicine fellowship at
Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School's largest teaching
hospital and biomedical research facility. He is highly regarded for his work
on pain management and reduction across a multitude of ailments and diseases
and has been published numerous times on this and related subjects.
