Clinical Trials for Pain Research
Chair: Giovanni Berardi, University of Iowa
Co-Chair: Trevor Lentz, Duke University
To promote scientific advances in pain clinical trials through high quality research design and development of professional competence to reduce the burden of pain.
We communicate innovative pain research methodologies, standardize pain assessment with NIH HEAL, develop a diverse research community, identify training resources, foster collaboration in clinical trial design, support trainees and early career investigators, promote established datasets, and encourage multidisciplinary teams.
