Join the conversation
We are always looking for new ways to connect with those at the forefront of pain research and, as members of PainSolve, you represent the leading experts at the cutting edge of pain research breakthroughs and medical practitioners with extensive experience working directly with patients. We want to connect with you, exchange knowledge and work together towards pain solutions.
We host interactive webinars several times a year, led by experts in the pain field, in order to disseminate knowledge and invite discussion and debate. The date and time of webinars will be announced in advance and all members of PainSolve will have the chance to register and participate. All webinars are recorded and made available online, so if you do miss any, you will still be able to access these.

Webinar 1: Neurobiology of the placebo effect, hosted by Prof. Ulrike Bingel on 12 December 2018
We are delighted to have had Prof. Ulrike Bingel (University Hospital Essen, Germany) host our inaugural PainSolve webinar on the 12 December 2018, titled, ‘Psychological and Neurobiological Mechanisms of Placebo and Nocebo Responses.’ Prof. Bingel presented pivotal studies that have moulded today’s understanding of the neurobiology and clinical relevance of the placebo and nocebo effects, with a focus on placebo analgesia. Our attendees also had the opportunity to engage in discussion with Prof. Bingel, who was able to share her view on topics that interested attendees the most.
