Event Description
This webinar will cover the complexities of the gut-brain axis on gastrointestinal health, factors that contribute to disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBIs), and evidence-based treatments that can reduce painful GI symptoms and improve GI-related quality of life. This webinar satisfies pain management continuing education credits in the state of Michigan. It discusses the importance of integrated, multi-disciplinary care, including the important role of non-GI-specific mental health providers, in the treatment of patients with painful gastrointestinal conditions.
