| Epidemiology of Pain: From Classical to Molecular Approaches | |||
| Pain is a complex trait resulting from the interaction between biological and non-biological factors. Building on the developments and techniques of molecular biology, the emerging field of molecular epidemiology is increasingly being applied in pain research. In this presentation, we advance the notion of integrating molecular approaches/ methods of analyses to classical epidemiology methods in studies of pain in human populations. Dr. Michael Von Korff will present the principles and practice of classical epidemiology methods in pain research. Dr. Hung Siak Kim will present the strengths, utility, and limitation of molecular approaches including candidate gene and genomewide scans. Dr. Reyes-Gibby will present pain studies assessing gene-gene and gene-environment interaction, their strengths, and limitations. Ample time will be allocated for discussion. | |||
