Headache, Paediatric and Abdominopelvic Pain (SURG0131)

Building on your core modules, you will expand your knowledge of complex pain situations including headache, paediatric pain and abdominopelvic pain. Headaches are one of the most common types of pain and it is important to understand their classification in order to manage correctly. Children experience pain too, and there are a number of challenges in this area such as assessment, which will be explored in this chapter. Abdominopelvic pain is a complex debilitating condition. Within this module you can expand your knowledge of complex pain mechanisms, such as central sensitisation and convergence theories, and apply this to practice utilising the biopsychosocial approach.
