CIHR CTN Chronic Pain and HIV: Webinar Series

The Canadian HIV Trials Network (CTN) Chronic Pain and HIV Working Group

Episodic Disability, Chronic Pain, and Physiotherapy:  Advancing Models of HIV Care

This is the third and final webinar in The CIHR Canadian HIV Trials Network (CTN) Chronic Pain and HIV: Research, Capacity Building and Knowledge Translation Webinar Series.This webinar series will explore the bio-psychosocial impacts of chronic pain among people living with HIV, and topics such as measurements, pain management, and wellness. People living with HIV, researchers, and chronic pain experts will facilitate sessions designed to train researchers and community members to foster new research questions, priorities, and projects on chronic pain and HIV in Canada. A large proportion of people living with HIV also live with chronic pain. There is a great need for research in the field. In addition to raising awareness and sharing knowledge on chronic pain among people living with HIV, the goal of the webinar series is to advance this research agenda within the CTN and in Canada. We aim to attract researchers, trainees, and community members to the field, and to promote the creation of new, diverse research teams. For individuals interested, they may join research subcommittees post webinar. The third of the series focuses on physiotherapy and models of care. Carolann Murray, Dr. Kelly O&#x27;Brien and Kyle Vader will present &quot;Episodic Disability, Chronic Pain, and Physiotherapy: Advancing Models of HIV Care&quot; on October 28, 2021 11am-1pm PT/ 2-4pm ET.
