Welcome Message
Dear Colleagues, The Swiss Society for Interventional Pain Management and the Swiss Neuromodulation Society are proud to welcome you in Montreux for our joint annual meeting. It is the third annual congress of the SSIPM and the first for the SNS. This year we decided to focus on the following subject: Impact of pain research on daily
practice: change your routine
Often the link between research and clinical practice is complex. It is sometimes difficult to apply recent developments in daily practice. We specifically asked our speakers this year to focus on this aspect. We hope it will help participants to treat patients better under the light of new developments and updated research. As we did every year, we invited a pannel of worldwide reknown speakers and we hope the exchanges will be fruitfull. Ladies and gentlemen, open your agendas and book these dates! We hope to see you all in Montreux early December. Philippe Mavrocordatos, MD, FIPP Christophe Perruchoud, MD Congress Chairman Congress Chairman Committees

About Montreux
Montreux is located between lake and mountains, called the Swiss Riviera. Montreux enjoys a
particularly mild an pleasant climate thanks to its privileged location on the shores of Lake
Geneva and at the foot of the Alps.
There are always something happening on the Swiss Riviera, whether it be the international
events punctuating the year: the Jazz Festival in July, the Septembre Musical in September,
the Festival du Rire and the Christmas Market in winter.
The fascinating landscape of the Swiss Riviera makes your stay unforgettable. The beautiful
terraced vineards of Lavaux, diving into the crystal blue waters of Lake Geneva, offering a
breathtaking view which leaves nobody untouched, are part of the UNESCO world heritage.

Montreux is an ideal place for meetings and starting point for excursions in Western
Switzerland.
