anesthesiologists, rheumatologists, rehabilitation physicians, musculoskeletal

special interest in chronic pain medicine.
He pledged the academy's support to education, clinical treatment, and research
of all pain conditions to translate this knowledge into improved pain relief

management, delivered by a group of Jordanian, European and Asian experts and
