One Man Show vol. III – Symposium Split 2025: A Platform of Excellence in Pain Medicine

World Institute of Pain Czech&Slovak section in collaboration with Interventional Pain Academy by EuroPainClinics, Lumibird Medical and MaxMoreSpine by Hoogland Spine Products GmbH, proudly presents the third edition of the prestigious professional event One Man Show vol. III – Symposium Split 2025.

This exclusive international symposium will take place on May 10, 2025, at the AC by Marriott Hotel in the beautiful Croatian city of Split. Our expert delegation will be present in Split from May 8 to 12, creating an ideal setting for knowledge sharing, professional networking, and personal inspiration.

The symposium is part of a long-term mission to support the ongoing education of pain specialists, offering a space for top-level experts to exchange insights and clinical experiences that continuously improve the quality of care for patients suffering from pain

This year, the symposium is guided by a central ambition: to explore and define pathways for implementing regenerative medicine in the treatment of pain — including procedures such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), stem cell therapies, and other advanced biologic approaches.

The star of this year’s event and the keynote guest is none other than Dr. Peter S. Staats, MD, MBA, FIPP, ABIPP. His presence and contributions will add immense value, combining world-class expertise with personal insights.

Why I’m Looking Forward to One Man Show vol. III – Reflections from Dr. Peter Staats

As the One Man Show vol. III Symposium in Split 2025 approaches, I find myself genuinely excited and honored to be part of this inspiring gathering.

What makes this event so special is its energy – it brings together professionals, innovators, and thinkers from different corners of medicine and science, all united by a shared drive to move things forward.

Being invited to contribute is not just an opportunity – it’s a privilege.

I’ll be speaking on two topics that are particularly close to my heart. The first is a personal one – my journey as a physician and researcher, the experiences that shaped me, and the lessons I’ve learned.

I believe that sharing our stories helps us connect, learn from each other, and grow together.

The second topic dives into a field I’m deeply passionate about: bioelectricity. It’s a rapidly evolving frontier that has the potential to reshape how we understand and influence biological systems – both scientifically and clinically.

There may be some natural overlap between these two topics, and that’s what excites me most – the blend of personal perspective with scientific exploration.

I’m looking forward to the conversations, connections, and moments of inspiration that make events like this so impactful. See you soon in Split!
