An Open Call for Poster Presentations
Submit your Poster Abstracts by November 29th at midnight (ET).
The 2025 Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) of the Canadian Pain Society (CPS) will create a forum in which scientists, healthcare professionals, people with lived experience of pain, trainees and policy makers from clinical, educational, research, policy, industry, and other settings can meet and exchange up-to-date information on pain mechanisms, assessment, and management.
Inviting Innovative Abstracts and Research
Submit a Research Poster Abstract
Posters can include summaries of the results of any research study (quantitative or qualitative) in the area of pain. While the results of pilot studies and abstracts with preliminary results will be considered, abstracts without any data and/or proposals will generally not be deemed suitable for acceptance.
Please familiarize yourself with our Submission Guidelines.
The Scientific Program Committee (SPC) seeks to offer a balanced, diverse, and cutting-edge program that reflects different areas of pain science and policy from all members of the pain community. Your participation is of the utmost importance and will be integral for the success of the CPS Annual Scientific Meeting and continued progress in pain research and management.
The Canadian Journal of Pain
Accepted abstracts will be printed in the online Canadian Journal of Pain, published by Taylor and Francis, and will be available for online viewing before and during the 2025 Annual Scientific Meeting. The Journal may not consider your abstract for publication if information from the abstract is missing. Please have all co-presenters edit your submission carefully, as the submitted version will be the final version for publication. Please ensure names and affiliations are accurate.
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
The Canadian Pain Society is strongly committed to diversity within its membership. Diversity strengthens both research and clinical practice in pain. We encourage participation by and for racialized persons, Black, Indigenous and people of colour, women, LGBTQ2S+, persons with disabilities, persons with lived experience of pain, and others who bring diverse perspectives to the field of pain.
