Teaching everybody to overcome pain


Pain, whether it is acute, chronic or cancer, is under treated, worldwide. Pain causes suffering to individuals and their families, it drains societal resources.

Guidelines recommend that hospital healthcare professionals should receive ongoing education and training regarding options for effective and safe management of pain. The materials of the “Pain School in Low Resource Settings” aim to foster and increase awareness and teach skills about pain assessment and management. The target audience for this program are surgical and internal-medicine practitioners of all disciplines, anaesthetists and anaesthesiologists, advanced nursing personnel, clinical officers as well as medical and nursing students who work in low resource settings or in a middle or high-resource country with little or no access to information about pain management.



Supporting Societies


Volunteers associated with IASP’s NeuPSIG and the International Pain Registry Working Group, PAIN OUT and the German Pain Society created and reviewed the materials provided by this program.
