Measurement of Pain and Its Impact

The Measurement of Pain and Its Impact SIG will address the issue of translating the results of pain measurements from one study to another. Questions can range from as basic as significance of allodynia in animal models for human clinical pain to interpreting all of the complexities of human clinical pain in clinical trials. At its foundation it is the clarity of definitions and taxonomies, but there are many issues that will require open, healthy debate.
