Summary of the episode:
In this episode of Let’s Talk About Pain, we meet Dr. Mathieu Piché, Professor in the Department of Anatomy at UQTR in Trois-Rivières. Delving into his research journey, we uncover the factors that sparked his interest in pain research. We explore his focus on spinal and cerebral mechanisms of pain-cognition interactions, chronic pain, and hypersensitivity to noxious stimuli.

Description
This episode of the Let's Talk Pain podcast focuses on advances in the field of pediatric pain shared at the World Congress on Pain. After an overview of the subject. We summarize the lecture given by Professor Rebecca Pillai Riddell, from York University in Toronto, who summarizes the inter associations between pain experienced at a very young age and attachment, as well as some key elements to consider in the context of intervention. We also summarize the pre-conference symposium on pediatric pain through an interview with @DonOcay, a postdoctoral fellow at Boston Children's Hospital.

Summary of the episode :
In this episode of Let’s Talk About Pain, we discuss the transition from acute to chronic pain after surgery or injury. What are the risks or factors that can predict this transition? Can it be prevented with pharmacotherapy? Or interventions that don't include medication? In this episode, we summarize a thematic session on this topic that was presented at the World Pain Congress 2022, and discuss with Dr. Giovanni Berardi about a U.S. consortium that is seeking to determine the factors that predict the transition to chronic pain after surgery or injury.
