This presentation will look at the broad variety of pain syndromes experienced by patients after the virus has been cleared, both transient and persistent, and their assessment including self-diagnosis.

How many new chronic pain patients will there be? Some cohort studies have already been completed, and several large and long-term studies are in progress. Our knowledge of pain manifestations in post-COVID-19 patients, including patients with pre-existing chronic pain, is advancing rapidly.

What is known about the benefits and risks of existing pain management strategies for long COVID? What are the opportunities for new treatment development?
