About the event
Purpose: The participants should at the end of the course be able to distinguish between different types of pain (nociceptive, central and peripheral neuropathic pain, mixed pain, idiopathic pain), and competencies to independently identify problems in relation to the treatment of pain in dystonia and spasticity patients. To know when and how to treat peripheral neuropathic pain with botulinum toxin. To evaluate the treatment response and adjust the subsequent treatment.
