Welcome Message from Scientific Chairs

Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the vibrant city of Singapore! The Association of Southeast Asian Pain Societies (ASEAPS) Congress is coming back to Singapore in May 2025 after a hiatus of twelve years, and as Scientific Chairs for the 10th ASEAPS Congress, we are thrilled to bring together experts from various disciplines to explore the latest developments in pain management. The scientific program has been curated to delve into ground-breaking research and strategies to help physicians, physiotherapists, psychologists, nurses, pharmacists, and integrative medicine practitioners dedicated to alleviating pain and improving patient outcomes. Many of our plenary speakers will provide key updates in their domains of expertise and touch on the inter-professional collaboration utilised for pain management.

Day Two of the Congress is uniquely designed, offering three parallel tracks dedicated to regional anaesthesia/acute pain management & POCUS practice, allied health therapies, and chronic pain management. We also have dedicated symposiums for cancer pain, nociplastic pain, paediatric pain, research and medicolegal aspects of care and more.

There are opportunities for you to showcase your projects as posters and infographics, and win exciting prizes. We have designed the program to cater to both the early career healthcare professional and the experienced practitioner. We also welcome students from various health care backgrounds to attend to help improve awareness of pain management.
