“Neuromodulación; mejorando la calidad de vida de las enfermedades crónicas” (Neuromodulation; improving the quality of life in chronic disease)

As part of its educational mission, the International Neuromodulation Society (INS) and its Spanish chapter, Sociedad Española de Neuromodulación, will offer a free public lecture that is open to patients, family members, interested members of the public, members of the news media, and professionals, who can register at no charge.

During the afternoon session, several international experts will present neuromodulation therapies, both for chronic pain conditions — such as persistent back pain, head and face pain, or abdominal or pelvic pain — and for medication-resistant epilepsy. Perspectives of a patient and a family member will also be presented. Audience members can pose questions during a question-and-answer session and a closing reception. During the formal talks, simultaneous translation will be provided in Spanish and English.

The free event takes place at the Barcelona International Convention Centre (CCIB) on 21 May 2022. It is being held prior to the INS 15th World Congress, which runs there from the 21 – 26 May 2022.

Free Online Registration – Opening Soon!

Date and time: Saturday 21 May 2022 15:00 – 20:00

Location: CCIB

Language: Spanish and English (simultaneous translation will be available in both languages)
