The Latin American Pain Society (LAPS) was established in 2022 as a non-profit educational organization to promote pain medicine education, encourage high-quality scientific research and publication, and provide highly skilled ultrasound and fluoroscopy-guided hands-on training courses to advance the evidence-based clinical practice of interventional pain throughout Latin America.
In addition, LAPS is committed to putting all resources to bring brilliant minds and academic leaders together on a common platform and unitedly works to raise the bar to offer the best pain care to our cancer and non-cancer patients.
After the incredible success of the 2nd Congress of the Latin American Pain Society (LAPS) in Mexico City, we are thrilled to announce the dates of the next congress to be held in Santiago, Chile on September 10-13, 2025. The 3rd Congress of LAPS is offering a comprehensive scientific program to provide cutting-edge information on advanced interventional techniques, spinal and peripheral neuromodulation therapies, and minimally invasive spinal procedures, including intradiscal procedure, radiofrequency ablation, intrathecal drug therapies, advanced regenerative medicine and emerging novel interventional techniques, disease-modifying therapies, scientific research abstract presentations, and much more!
This world-class LAPS congress presents outstanding, nationally and internationally renowned experts in pain management to share their knowledge and present the opportunity to interact with peers. We welcome our industry and pharmaceutical partners to showcase cutting-edge advances and state-of-the-art technologies on the common platform to present the latest research and implications for better patient care. Industry Partners and technical exhibits are integral for the success of the LAPS Congress. The partnership between industries and healthcare providers is the key to continue improving the care to our patients.
On behalf of the Executive Board of LAPS, we thank you for you continued support, and excited to invite you to join us at the 3rd LAPS Congress to be held in beautiful Santiago, to accomplish the common mission of “Education Beyond the Borders” and raising the bar in Latin America.

| We extend a heartfelt request for your support in response to the devastating flood that struck the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. This calamity, which unfolded from April 29 to May 2024, has resulted in over 170 fatalities, widespread landslides, and the collapse of a dam, marking it as the worst flooding in Brazil in more than 80 years. Over half a million individuals have been severely affected, with nearly 100,000 displaced and residing in temporary shelters. These shelters, operated by charities, church communities, and various civil society organizations, are in dire need of resources and support to continue providing aid and relief. As leaders in the medical community dedicated to alleviating pain and suffering, we call upon you to extend your generosity and expertise. Any contribution can make a significant difference in the lives of those affected by this disaster. Your assistance will help provide essential relief and restore hope to countless individuals and families in this critical time. Together, we can bring much-needed aid and comfort to our fellow human beings in their time of greatest need. Thank you for your compassion and commitment to making a positive impact.
