Welcome Message
Dear Colleagues, The Swiss Society for Interventional Pain Management and the Swiss Neuromodulation Society are proud to welcome you in Montreux for our joint annual meeting. It is the third annual congress of the SSIPM and the first for the SNS. This year we decided to focus on the following subject:
Impact of pain research on daily practice: change your routine
Often the link between research and clinical practice is complex. It is sometimes difficult to apply recent developments in daily practice. We specifically asked our speakers this year to focus on this aspect. We hope it will help participants to treat patients better under the light of new developments and updated research. As we did every year, we invited a pannel of worldwide reknown speakers and we hope the exchanges will be fruitfull. Ladies and gentlemen, open your agendas and book these dates! We hope to see you all in Montreux early December.
