GUNN - LOKE Lectures
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, Seattle
The University of Washington's Multidisciplinary Pain Center has, since 1986, hosted the annual Gunn-Loke Lecture. Sponsored by Dr. Chan Gunn and Mrs. Peggy Gunn, this annual lecture has become an interesting and popular event. Leading pain experts from around the world have been invited to join Dr. Gunn to speak on pain related subjects each spring.
Lecture for 2007
This year’s lecture was presented on July 19, 2007. The lecturer was Dr Robert H Dworkin, Department of Anesthesiology, University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, New York. The topic of his lecture was "Shingles and its Persistence: A Belt of Roses from Hell"
Comments from Dr Gunn:
IMS treats these conditions very effectively by regarding them as entrapment syndromes which require physical release rather than pharmaceutical blockage. iSTOP uses low level laser as the initial treatment of choice.
