Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms and Pain after Whiplash Injury – What have we learned from a decade of research, and where to go from here?: Professor Tonny Elmose Anderson. A decade of research relating to the association between posttraumatic stress symptoms and pain will be presented. A brief outline of mutual maintenance models of pain and PTSD will be provided, followed by results from a meta-analysis of PTSD and pain sensitisation, a longitudinal study of pain sensitisation after whiplash injury and results from a multicenter network analysis of PTSD and pain . Finally, Tonny will discuss a new and potentially promising approach “Source-localised EEG neurofeedback” to treat comorbid PTSD and pain after whiplash injury.
Acceptance and values in the context of pain: Associate Professor Sophie Lykkegaard Ravn. Third-wave cognitive behavioral therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are among others emphasising acceptance and living according to one’s values. Such concepts are of particular importance in the context of pain and suffering. Sophie will present some basic principles together with recent research findings in the area of whiplash as well as spinal pain in general.
