In this talk, Trung Ngo proposes an interdisciplinary solution to address chronic pain and pain management. When faced with adversity, why do some people become stronger while others break down?

In the past decade, Trung Ngo has been exploring this question while treating people with complex, chronic pain at Mount Sinai Hospital.

Dr. Ngo has worked with leading clinicians and academics in pain rehabilitation and has published research in peerreviewed journals. In 2017, he founded Novah Healthcare, a communitybased clinic that offers an interdisciplinary approach to pain management. He also speaks regularly at public events in his quest to educate the community about chronic pain.

Outside of work, he is mastering the art of changing diapers. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
