     It gives me immense pleasure to invite you to attend 1st National Headache & Back Pain Conference 2008 Karachi.

I request you that without delay please send your Abstracts/Scientific Papers to the Conference Secretariat by 31 July 2008. For further information visit: www.neurosurgery.com.pk

It will be a unique opportunity to interact with the eminent medical experts in the region and enhance cooperation between the countries to further promote and develop the status of this speciality in South East Asian region particularly.

Anaesthesiologists, as a part of pain management team, frequently diagnose and treat patients suffering from acute and chronic pain syndromes. Some anaesthesiologists concentrate their practice of giving injections (such as epidural) or practice in a variety of settings, such as a pain management clinic or an integrated pain care center.

Pain Management is the systematic study of clinical and basic sciences and its application for the reduction of pain and suffering; the blending of tools, techniques and principles taken from the discrete link art disciplines and reformulated as a holistic application for the reduction of pain and suffering: and a newly immerging discipline emphasizing interdisciplinary approach with a goal of reduction of pain and suffering.

In the context of this Conference we shall discuss most aspects of indications, diagnostic procedures, treatments and outcomes of Pain problems. You will find that the scientific program is structured in different subjects covering most aspects of our art.

We thrive to not only provide cutting edge knowledge but also to create an enjoyable environment for meeting old friends and making new ones. It will give us the exciting opportunity to consolidate hitherto separate efforts which will surely result in enhanced and synergistic productivity.

I look forward to welcome you at this event, for a very productive scientific gathering and a memorable Arabian cultural experience. I extend a warm welcome to all participants and look forward to welcome you in Karachi.

Sincerely Yours,
