Pain is one of the most complex challenges clinicians face. Effective management requires more than identifying tissue pathology or treating symptoms in isolation.

The Clinical Pain Science Series provides clinicians with a comprehensive, evidence-informed framework for understanding, assessing and managing patients with both acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain.

Across four courses, the series explores the fundamentals of contemporary pain neuroscience, the classification and interaction of different pain mechanisms, the clinical assessment of chronic pain, and the practical management of both acute and chronic MSK pain.

The series focuses on developing clinical reasoning, refining assessment and communication skills, and applying evidence-based strategies that support recovery, function and long-term self-management.

Emphasis is placed on practical clinical application, equipping clinicians with the knowledge and tools to confidently navigate complex pain presentations, make informed pain management decisions and move beyond purely biomedical approaches to pain care.

Differentiate between acute, persistent and chronic pain presentations.
Understand key pain mechanisms and classify pain as nociceptive, neuropathic, nociplastic or mixed.
Recognise the clinical features and relevance of different pain mechanisms.
Conduct comprehensive subjective and objective assessments of patients with acute and chronic pain.
Identify red flags, yellow flags and psychosocial and contextual factors influencing pain and function.
Integrate contemporary pain science and a biopsychosocial framework into clinical reasoning and assessment.
Formulate clearer assessment conclusions to guide effective, individualised pain management planning.
Apply appropriate early-stage pain management strategies while maintaining movement and function.
Identify risk factors for the transition from acute to chronic pain and implement strategies to reduce the risk of chronicity.
Communicate pain concepts clearly and effectively to reduce fear, support recovery expectations and empower patients.
Guide behaviour change and improve patient adherence to treatment plans.
Develop realistic, functional management goals that support long-term recovery and self-management.
