In a world experiencing an epidemic of chronic pain and increasing evidence of the failure of synthetic drugs and purely biomedical approaches, simple but extremely powerful educational tools can effectively target the natural pain treatment systems within us all.

Knowledge is power. In the new series of Explain Pain courses delivered by NOI instructors around the world, contemporary pain sciences are made accessible and understandable for all healthcare professionals. Integrating the latest developments in pain neuroscience with practical therapeutic applications, you will come away with a powerful set of new skills that will dramatically boost your clinical confidence and transform your patients' outcomes.

The knowledge is applicable to young and old, from back pain to fibromyalgia, general aching to the complexities of phantom pain and complex regional pain syndrome.

Explain Pain has no side effects, is available around the clock, and you can share the knowledge and strategies with others. NOI courses are fun, intellectually stimulating, based on evidence and always challenging. You'll master the clinical reasoning skills to revolutionise how you support patients with pain.
