The Multidisciplinary Panel on Neuropathic Pain (MPNP) are dedicated to improving awareness and understanding of neuropathic pain in Hong Kong. Key to achieving this aim is educational activities for Hong Kong physicians.

The MPNP held the "Challenges in Neuropathic Pain Workshop" on Saturday, 29 October 2011. The theme of the afternoon workshop was inspired by the title of the panel's newsletter. Neuropathic pain encompasses a range of painful conditions, some of which are commonly encountered in practice; however, neuropathic pain can be a challenge to diagnose and manage effectively. The often chronic and sometimes frustrating nature of neuropathic pain also makes it a challenge for patients suffering from these conditions. The workshop was supported by the Hong Kong Pain Society (HKPS).

The introductory lecture session comprised presentations on recognizing neuropathic pain in practice and the latest recommendations and emerging treatments for neuropathic pain. This was followed by parallel case discussion sessions, the objective of which was "to gain insights into diagnosis and evidence-based management of neuropathic pain through interactive case discussion sessions". The topics covered were neuralgias, headache, back pain, and musculoskeletal pain and fibromyalgia. There was much discussion on the cases presented and the opportunity for delegates to ask questions of the faculty and to share their thoughts on neuropathic pain management.

In 2009, the MPNP was pleased to partner with the HKPS to co-organize the “Conjoint HKPS and MPNP Scientific Meeting cum HKPS ASM 2009 on Pain Management in Daily Practice”. Held on Saturday, 12 September 2009, the meeting attracted more than 150 delegates. Sessions covered a number of painful conditions commonly encountered in daily practice: neuropathic pain, generalized musculoskeletal pain, and facial pain and headache.

During August and September 2003, the MPNP co-organized with the Hong Kong Medical Association (HKMA) a CME certificate course on neuropathic pain. The course was of great interest to Hong Kong physicians with a high registration and attendance rate. A half-day workshop on neuropathic pain was held in Macau in March 2004. The Second Certificate Course on Neuropathic Pain was held in September 2006. This course was also co-organized by the HKMA and was well received by attendees.
