In this live webinar, we discuss pain pathways in extreme detail, which is a foundational topic for anyone in anesthesia or in the ICU. We explore the four stages of pain—transduction, transmission, modulation, and perception—breaking down complex neurophysiology into manageable segments. We also look at how acute pain transitions into chronic pain, covering nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic pain, and explaining the key roles of nociceptors, ion channels, and neurotransmitters. Whether you're new to this topic or reviewing for boards, this session offers clear explanations of difficult material, including referred pain and the gate control theory. Stick around until the end to hear about groundbreaking therapies like NAV1.8 blockers and the future of non-opioid pain management that could transform how we treat acute and chronic pain.
