Though research in the field of muscle pain is growing rapidly, most of the theories regarding pathophysiology are still not well explained and debatable. This world congress is aimed to review the current basic science research, mechanisms, laboratory findings supporting the theories, human and animal experiment models, assessment and clinical applications, treatment modalities and prognosis of muscle pain. This aim will be accomplished by exploring and elucidating the mechanisms in muscle pain, various muscle nociceptors and their properties, sensitization at different levels, animal studies and human experimental studies, sequelae in brain due to chronicity, assessment and effective treatment of muscle pain. It would provide a much-needed platform for basic science researchers and practicing clinicians to share the current research about muscle pain, eventually leading to improved clinical outcomes in patients with muscle pain.

THE PROGRAM FEATURES • 5 Pre-conference Workshops• 5 Post-conference Workshops• 8 Key note lectures• 30 Symposia or refresher courses• 15 Parallel Paid workshops• 15 Lectures• Free papers and posters• Career Counselling• Trade exhibition

IMS brings together an international community of health care professionals, researchers, educators, and others to improve care and transform delivery of treatment to those suffering from soft tissue pain through the promotion and exchange of globally recognized research, education, and innovation in patient care.

The International MYOPAIN Society [IMS] is a nonprofit, international, interdisciplinary medical organization for research scientists, physicians, other health care professionals, individuals in training toward a health-related career, institutions, foundations, and commercial companies interested in exchanging ideas, conducting research, or learning more about soft tissue pain syndromes like myofascial pain syndrome and fibromyalgia syndrome.

The IMS is a membership organization in service to the medical community and supporting International MYOPAIN meetings.

The IMS’s centralized administration provides stability for the outstanding international MYOPAIN meetings and facilitates development of many regional symposia on myofascial pain syndrome and fibromyalgia syndrome. Society members will receive a subscription to MYOPAIN, a journal of Myofascial Pain and Fibromyalgia (earlier called the Journal of Musculoskeletal Pain). The international Journal is a high-quality, quarterly scientific publication which was independently successful for over five years before becoming the official publication of the IMS. It is devoted to the topic of soft tissue pain, is referenced by Science Citation Index and more than 30 other indexing services. It is a source for reports of original research, scientific reviews, literature columns, research ideas, and professional interaction. The IMS has a membership directory, website, focus committee on myofascial pain syndrome diagnostic criteria, and training funds which will allow promising young people to spend one to four months at established centers to learn from recognized masters.

The IMS promotes research on soft tissue pain by thoughtful prioritization of needs, by integration of available information into consensus opinion, by establishing working groups on important topics, and by providing funding which can be distributed on a competitive basis to answer critical research questions.

The IMS facilitates social interactions between a variety of clinical and basic science disciplines through the Journal, website, international membership directory, and through coordinated work toward meeting mutual needs.

ABOUT ITC GARDENIA


MYOPAIN 2017 will be held in Bangalore (or Bengaluru – its official name).

Bangalore is the capital of the South Indian state of Karnataka and has a population of about 10 million (categorising it as a Mega City). Bangalore is the third most populous city in India and the second fastest growing metropolis in India. It is located at a height of over 900 m (3,000 ft) above sea level, which is the highest among the major cities of India. Bangalore has 17 trees for every 100 people and its air quality is cleaner than other major Indian cities. Thus, Bangalore is known for its pleasant climate throughout the year and is nicknamed the Garden City. In October, the average temperatures are between 20-28 degrees Celsius, and light rain is expected.

Historical references to the Bangalore city predate 900 AD. Today, Bangalore is known as the “Silicon Valley of India” or “IT capital of India” because of its position as the nation’s leading IT exporter. Bangalore is currently inducted in the list of global cities and ranked as a “Beta World City” alongside cities such as Dallas, Houston, San Jose, Seattle, Philadelphia, San Diego, Montreal, Rome, Geneva, Berlin, Copenhagen, Lisbon, Cape Town, Oslo, Helsinki, Manchester, Birmingham, and Edinburgh. In January 2017, Bangalore was judged the most dynamic city in world in a study by independent property consultancy Jones Lang LaSalle (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/bengaluru-most-dynamic-city-in-world-study/articleshow/56656837.cms)

Bangalore is the home to eminent educational and research institutions, such as Indian Institute of Science, Indian Institute of Management, National Institute of Fashion Technology, National Institute of Design, National Law School of India University and National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences. Numerous state-owned aerospace and defence organisations, such as Indian Space Research Organisation, Bharat Electronics, Hindustan Aeronautics and National Aerospace Laboratories are in Bangalore. Bangalore is home to nearly 750 MNC’c and about 3500 companies, including research and development centres for firms such as ABB, Airbus, Bosch, Boeing, GE, GM, Google, Microsoft, Mercedes-Benz, Nokia, Oracle, Philips, Shell, Toyota and Tyco.

As a downside, Bangalore’s rapid growth has created several problems relating to traffic congestion, garbage disposal and water shortage.

English is widely spoken and is the principal language of the professional and business class. Bangalore is very well connected by air with the rest of the world, and by air, rail and road with the rest of India. The annual passenger traffic at the stylish Kempegowda International Airport touched 22.5 million in 2016. Bangalore is close to popular tourist destinations like Mysore, Hampi, Ooty, Goa and Kerala.

Few cities in the world have the power to attract and motivate a casual visitor to move there permanently. Bangalore is one of those rare cities and thus has a large expat community. It is known for its modern, cosmopolitan outlook, cultural and linguistic tolerance, and for being relatively safe.
