The Swiss Neuromodulation Society and the Swiss Society for Interventional Pain Management 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. 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.

Join your colleagues and friends on the shores of Lake of Geneva in the beautiful city of Montreux to network, increase your knowledge, and make new collaborations. You won't want to miss this outstanding lineup of plenary speakers:
