Description

Central Sensitization in Persistent Pain: From the Lab to the Clinic – Transform Your Approach to Pain Management

Understanding and treating central sensitization in patients with persistent pain is one of the most challenging aspects of modern physiotherapy and healthcare. This course provides a thorough exploration of the mechanisms behind central sensitization, guiding you from theoretical foundations to practical, evidence-based interventions that you can apply in your clinical practice.

Course Overview

This course is designed for physiotherapists and healthcare professionals who are looking to expand their understanding of central sensitization and improve their ability to manage patients with chronic pain. From the latest research in neurophysiology to clinical applications, this course equips you with the tools and knowledge needed to assess and treat patients suffering from conditions influenced by central sensitization.

What You Will Learn

Understanding Central Sensitization: Gain a deep understanding of the neurophysiological mechanisms that underlie central sensitization. Learn how these processes contribute to persistent pain and how they differentiate from peripheral pain mechanisms.
Assessment of Central Sensitization: Develop skills in identifying signs of central sensitization in your patients. You will learn evidence-based assessment techniques to recognize central sensitization patterns, enabling you to tailor your treatment strategies accordingly.
Evidence-Based Interventions for Chronic Pain: Implement therapeutic strategies that address the underlying mechanisms of central sensitization. From graded exposure therapy and pain neuroscience education to cognitive behavioral techniques, you’ll learn how to apply these interventions to reduce pain sensitivity and improve patient outcomes.
Bridging the Gap Between Research and Clinical Practice: Stay up-to-date with the latest research on central sensitization and persistent pain. This course bridges the gap between laboratory findings and clinical applications, ensuring that your treatment approaches are rooted in cutting-edge science.

Wir weisen auf die folgende Stellungnahme hin:

Gemäß den Rahmenempfehlungen nach § 125 Abs. 1 SGB V sind die Praxisinhaber/fachlichen Leiter einer nach § 124 SGB V zugelassenen Praxis verpflichtet, sich regelmäßig fortzubilden. In den Rahmenempfehlungen, die die Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft der Heilmittelverbände e.V. als Dachverband der Heilmittelverbände gemäß § 125 Abs. 1 SGB V mit den Spitzenverbänden der Krankenkassen beschlossen hat, ist die Dauer der Fortbildung, die in einem vierjährigen Rhythmus nachzuweisen ist, mit 60 Punkten (1 Punkt entspricht dabei einer Unterrichtseinheit von 45 Minuten) festgelegt. Allerdings dauern die Verhandlungen mit den Primärkassen (z.B. AOK, BKK, IKK, Knappschaft) über den Umfang der Anerkennung so genannter strittiger Fortbildungsinhalte (Fortbildungen z.B. aus dem Bereich der Prävention) noch an.

Diese gesetzliche Regelung entspricht sinngleichen Regelungen in den Versorgungsverträgen gemäß § 125 Abs. 2 zwischen Krankenkassen und Leistungserbringern auf Landesebene. Dort ist aus nachvollziehbaren Gründen die Verpflichtung zur Fortbildung nicht auf den Praxisinhaber beschränkt, sondern trifft auch deren angestellte/freie Mitarbeiter in den ambulanten Praxen.

Wer der Fortbildungspflicht teilweise oder gar nicht nachkommt, muss mit Vergütungsabschlägen bzw. Vertragsstrafen rechnen.

Es gibt kein Anerkennungs-/Zertifizierungsverfahren für die Fortbildungsangebote. Dass die Fortbildung den entsprechenden Kriterien entspricht, liegt ausschließlich in der Verantwortung des Veranstalters. Dieser vergibt auch die entsprechenden Punkte.

Sollten Fortbildungsinhalte durch die Krankenkassen nicht anerkannt werden, besteht die Möglichkeit, nicht anerkannte Fortbildungen durch andere anerkannte Fortbildungen zu ersetzen. Konkret:

In § 4 Ziffer 9 des Rahmenvertrages mit den Ersatzkassen ist geregelt, dass der Zugelassene/fachliche Leiter, der die in § 4 i. V. mit Anlage 3 vereinbarte Fortbildungsverpflichtung nicht fristgerecht innerhalb des Betrachtungszeitraumes von 4 Jahren erfüllt, diese unverzüglich nachzuholen hat. Ergibt sich bei der Überprüfung durch die Landesvertretungen des vdek, dass der Fortbildungsverpflichtete die Fortbildungspunkte für jeden abgeschlossenen Betrachtungszeitraum ab dem 01.01.2008 dennoch ganz oder teilweise nicht nachweisen kann, weil eine Fortbildung nicht anerkannt wurde, so setzt ihm die Landesvertretung eine Nachfrist von 6 Monaten. Die sodann nachgeholten Fortbildungen werden nicht auf die laufende Fortbildungsverpflichtung angerechnet.

Wir vergeben ein Zertifikat mit den benötigten Informationen zur Schulung. Hierfür bitten wir unsere TeilnehmerInnen mit uns nach erfolgreichem Abschluss des Kurses Kontakt aufzunehmen. Bitte hierbei das Geburtsdatum vermelden.

						CENTRAL SENSITIZATION IN CHRONIC PAIN WITH PERSISTENT PAIN VERY INTERRESTING INFORMATION ABOUT CENTRAL SENSITIZATION

I highly recommend this course about chronic pain.

I am a physical therapist that did not know about the practical information Jo Nijs has put in the course.					
David van Dommelen		
						CENTRAL SENSITIZATION IN CHRONIC PAIN WITH PERSISTENT PAIN The course it was so good to improve my knowledge about chronic pain and how to classify the pain (nociceptive, nerophatic, central sensitization). It was easier to understand how to understand and explain to the patients (with methaphors or examples), like the spam filters, for the patients to know that sometimes the pain filters are not really well working, but at least you can give hopes and using scoping strategies and shared the decision with your patient, for him/her fell confortable in the treatment!



It was my first time studying pain, and specially the Pain neuroscience education (and we can see how important is to changing the maladaptive beliefs, and making the patient reflecting about their lifestyle, and how they can improve, and use scoping strategies to manage their own pain).



Really thankfull to all the knowledge Jo Nijs. I would definetely recommended our course for every people that want to learn about it.					
Carolina Milhim Barcellos		
						Central Sensitization in Patients in Chronic Pain GREAT COURSE



Great course, did it twice already (before taking the test) and probably will do it a few times more because there is so much to learn.					
Alexander Wagenaar		
						Central Sensitization in Patients in Chronic Pain CENTRAL SENSITIZATION IN PATIENTS WITH PERSISTENT PAIN: FROM THE LAB TO THE CLINIC



Good course, very positive the unlimited access so that I can watch and re-watch each section.

						Central Sensitization in Patients in Chronic Pain CENTRAL SENSITIZATION IN PATIENTS WITH PERSISTENT PAIN: FROM THE LAB TO THE CLINIC



Love the course! Already knew a lot about chronic pain but still learned a lot!!					
Bas Verheijen		
						Central Sensitization in Patients in Chronic Pain THIS COURSE WILL CHANGE YOUR PERCEPTION OF (CHRONIC) PAIN !



Before starting this course, I already had some knowledge of Central Sensitization, but I was not sure how to integrate this into my treatment. In addition, I only knew the Central Sensitization Index as diagnostic, which is not complete enough.



This course allowed me to review everything in depth, from diagnosis to treatment, with a lot of informations on PNE, examples and tips to achieve progress with the patient, and the least I can say is that if I had to recommend an online course as my first choice, it would be this one. It’s astonishing how this course has implications for the daily clinic, because there are plenty of either chronic patients or patients for whom pain education may be needed.



Thanks to Physiotuttors and Jo Nijs for the quality!					
Thomas Herrent		
						Central Sensitization in Patients in Chronic Pain THE COURSE YOU NEED TO TREAT PATIENTS WITH PERSISTENT PAIN



Excellent course, delivered in a very clear, organised and detailed manner.

The course is very interactive, including a mix of written texts, videos, quizzes (and more!), which makes the learning experience much more effective and fun.

The knowledge acquired is immediately applicable in the clinic.

VERY much recommended to anyone working with people suffering from persistent pain.					
Elisabetta Brigo		
						Central Sensitization in Patients in Chronic Pain Even though I already knew a lot on central sensitization, I have still learned a lot thanks to this course. I feel much more confident for treating patients with CS. The course is perfectly organized, very complete but it goes also straight to the point and is easy to follow thanks to the different learning modalities (texts, videos, quizz…). Thank you so much Jo Nijs and the Physiotutors Team for your incredible work !

						The Assessment E-Book This is amazing book for health professions & students					
Kangmin Lee		
						The Assessment E-Book The book is fantastic. A great acquisition for all professionals because it presents all information in a concise, clear and grouped way.



As I said earlier I would like to be able to access the material on all my devices.					
Janine Doe		
						The Assessment E-Book This book helped me in my studying for my exam and in assessing my first patients. Awesome! Also for beginners!					
Vince1992		
						The Assessment E-Book It’s an amazing Compilation! Congrats to all the work you have put in there.

Im looking forward to the lifelong updates on the topics.

Great work, guys					
Simon Pagitz		
						The Assessment E-Book (Spanish Version) Excelente Libro electrónico, me gusta que esta basado en la evidencia clínica y me apoya mucho para mi practica clínica. Es el mejor libro que he visto de evaluación, y me gusta mucho que esta en constante actualización, estaría bien meter más evaluaciones funcionales, que ya comienzan a subir en los videos con la nueva integrante mujer al equipo. Gracias kai y Andreas.					
Angel10		
						The Assessment E-Book A must-have for all physiotherapists, osteopaths and manual therapists. The authors conducted an extensive research on assessment tests in manual therapy. I find it very easy to read. The more I read the more I learn. Thank you!					
Jordi Burrut		
						The Assessment E-Book Very helpful during my study and making clinical decisions. You have made the test descriptions perfect for every region! Compliments! Loving the extra information (screening/guidelines) that comes with the cervical spine and the lumbar spine. Looking forward to see those as well for the other regions.					
Roel Rademaker		
						The Assessment E-Book This book is great! It is very structured and detailed. It works extremely well on my Macbook and iPad.					
Josh		
						The Assessment E-Book These are probably the best 80€ that I have ever invested in a book. Absolutly greatful for your work. It has been such a great effort, that you have put into this book and together with your videos, it really helped me to pass some exams and to later decide which assessment to use for my patients. I can only recommend this book to every single physiotherapist or physio student!!!

thumps up, guys					
Julia Hauser		
						The Assessment E-Book The best way to spend 80euros. Totally worth it. The amount of work you put behind this must have been absolutely huge. Every physical or physiotherapist should own it.

Congrats guys you’ve done an incredible job.

I’ve learnd a lot of new things and my approach to therapy in general have totally changed.

In one word: amazing. Keep going guys ! Best wishes from france.					
Polo_soa
