presentation overview

Osteoarthritis (OA) is thought to be initiated primarily by developmental joint diseases like hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia and could be argued to be a young dog disease. OA-associated pain adversely affects multiple dimensions such as gait, affection, sleep, and cognitive function. Its management can be challenging. However, management is likely to be less complex earlier in the course of the disease. Therefore, earlier, effective treatment of OA pain may better control joint pain and the longer-term negative impacts of joint pain and on other dimensions. However, OA and associated pain are under-recognized and undertreated in young dogs.

In this presentation, we will explore the benefits of early detection and treatment of OA in young dogs, highlighting case examples from our recent clinical trials and demonstrating the positive response to an effective OA pain management approach.

dr. b. duncan x. lascelles

Dr. Lascelles is the Dr. J. McNeely and Lynne K. DuBose Distinguished Professor of Musculoskeletal Health, and Professor of Translational Pain Research. Since his PhD training at Bristol, UK, he has devoted is professional career to improving our ability to recognize and treat pain in animals. His research program (Translational Research in Pain [TRiP]) develops methods to measure pain associated with spontaneous disease in animals and seeks to understand the underlying neurobiology. Leveraging these measurement techniques in proof of concept studies his work improves our understanding of how to control pain in companion animals, and facilitates analgesic development in human medicine, and discovery of relevant pain signaling mechanisms. He has a particular interest in the measurement of movement in relation to pain, the effects of exercise and diet on pain, and in the role of neurotrophins and neurotrophic factors, and downstream signaling, in pain states.

He is director of the Comparative Pain Research and Education Centre (CPREC). He has authored over 250 peer reviewed research papers and reviews, over 300 research abstracts, and ~ 30 book chapters.
