Patient involvement in chronic pain research project
There is an opportunity for people to join a patient advisory group, where you can be involved in a research project investigating the relationship between childhood experiences and pain.
The project is called Consortium Against Pain In Equality (CAPE): The impact of adverse childhood experiences on chronic pain and responses to treatment. There is evidence that children who experience adverse childhood events, such as abuse and neglect, are more likely to experience more health problems later in life, including chronic pain.
