The VIth World Congress on Pain in Adelaide promises to be the largest world congress on pain so far held and the greatest number of scientific papers ever offered for the an IASP Congress.Abstract:
I am delighted to announce the exciting news that we have received just under 900 abstracts for presentation in the scientific program of the VIth World Congress on Pain in Adelaide, April l-6, 1990. This 1s about a 50% increase in the number of abstracts submitted for the 1987 Congress in Hamburg and it represents by far the greatest number of scientific papers ever offered for the an IASP Congress. This surely reflects the healthy state of IASP and is also a very encouraging indlcator of the high level of activity in basic and clinical research in the field of pain throughout the world. Based upon our previous experience with the ratio of congress delegates to scientific abstracts, the Adelaide Congresses promises to be the largest world congress on pain we have so far held.read more
