🧠"When Nerves Scream – Decoding Neuropathic Pain Together"
The 2026 Belgian Pain Society Congress brought together clinicians, researchers and allied health professionals for a day filled with science, clinical insights, debate and connection.
From the mechanisms of neuropathic pain and the latest NeuPSIG recommendations to neuromodulation, chronicity, psychological approaches and the future of multidisciplinary pain care in Belgium — one message stood out:
👉 Understanding pain requires us to look beyond the nerve. And treating it requires us to work together.
And the feedback speaks for itself: participants and partners both gave the congress very high evaluation scores, confirming that we succeeded in creating a valuable, engaging and professionally relevant meeting.
A big thank you to all our inspiring speakers, workshop leaders, partners, and, above all, to everyone who joined us and contributed to the discussions.
Science connects. Collaboration transforms. Together, we move pain care forward.
