Approximately one in five people suffer from chronic pain, and this number significantly rises as people age. The prejudices and wrong ideas about the subject of chronic pain and its treatment are numerous and tenacious. This talk, operating in the context of the ACCORD program, calls for an interactive forum that will better inform the general public about the subject of chronic pain among the elderly.

Join us for an animated discussion with experts who will deal with the impact of chronic pain and currently work on a daily basis to predict, relieve and treat this type of problem.
