Delta Hotels by Marriott Dartmouth

This workshop is an introduction to the technique of Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), a revolutionary technique developed by the Pain Psychological treatment centre and published in JAMA, 2021 (1). PRT is the first therapeutic approach developed by scientists that has shown promise in the management of chronic pain. A randomized controlled study at the University of Colorado Boulder validated Pain Reprocessing Therapy as the most effective current treatment for chronic pain. In the PRT group, 98% of patients improved and 66% of patients were pain-free or nearly pain-free at the end of treatment which were largely maintained one year later (1).At the core of PRT is a technique called somatic tracking which involves teaching clients to practice mindfulness, reexamine the way they think about pain, and do everything they can to view pain in a more positive and less fearful light.Participants of the workshop will have an opportunity to learn and practice the skill of somatic tracking and learn when and how to introduce the technique of PRT into clinical practice while addressing common barriers to the implementation of this technique.(1) Ashar YK, Gordon A, Schubiner H, et al.
