Main theme of the medical activities at EFIC 2023 is about NEUROPATHIC PAIN. Worldwide up to 10% of people are living with neuropathic pain* as a complication or consequence of several diseases and their treatments like painful diabetic peripheral neuropathies or cancer related neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain can have a significant impact on the people who are affected and their families.
Download the infographics with the results from two web based surveys where people living with diabetes** and cancer*** reported from their experiences living with neuropathic pain.
