Abstract

This webinar will focus on discussing the newest, yet most practical analgesic techniques used in laboratory animal species.

Topics will include new information concerning nociceptive physiology, novel and validated pain scoring systems, advances in clinical analgesic techniques including innovative use of pharmacologic agents, and case discussions with the ultimate goal of improving animal welfare with minimal impact on experimental outcomes.

Participants should obtain a deeper understanding of appropriate and current analgesic techniques and how to properly recognize and treat acute and chronic pain states in various laboratory animals.
