Pain Mesotherapy Training

Pain is an “unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage.”

Acute pain is interpreted as an alarm signal related to actual or potential tissue damage — when pain persists it can become a serious condition in its own right. Usually, pain is caused by stimuli approaching or exceeding harmful intensity, but in the case of prolonged pain the sensitive feedback system is altered, and microglia cells are activated. Chronic pain is defined as pain that persists for longer than three months. In patients with arthritis or other musculoskeletal conditions, pain is frequently triggered by inflammation of peripheral tissues (nociceptive pain), but it is also associated with a lesion or dysfunction of the nerve pathways (neuropathic pain). More often, nociceptive and neuropathic pain coexist, particularly in patients with chronic back pain.

There is no universally recognised standard of care, as there are a number of distinct pathological mechanisms of pain as well as a wide range of therapeutic options — pharmacological, interventional, physical, psychological, and complementary. In Europe, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are first-line therapy for most musculoskeletal pain, in conjunction with exercise, physiotherapy and other approaches. The high frequency of adverse events with NSAIDs — gastrointestinal, renal and cardiovascular — in part explains the increasingly widespread use of local pharmacological therapy, which, if effective and well tolerated, represents an acceptable alternative to systemic NSAIDs.

Mesotherapy consists of a series of microinjections of active substance into the dermis using short needles. Following injection, the drug slowly reaches the underlying tissues, achieving concentrations higher than those obtained with intramuscular administration, and remaining locally active for longer. This course teaches the technique, the evidence, and the protocols by indication.
