Promoting Pain Research and Management to Improve Outcomes for People With Pain and Their Whanau.
The New Zealand Pain Society (NZPS) was born out of the efforts of a passionate and committed group of New Zealand clinicians. The NZPS promotes education, training, research and development in all areas of pain.
The New Zealand Pain Society is a chapter of the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP).
The IASP was founded in 1973. It is the world’s largest multidisciplinary organisation that is focussed specifically on pain research and treatment.
IASP brings together scientists, clinicians, healthcare providers, and policy makers to stimulate and support the study of pain and to translate that knowledge into improved pain relief worldwide. The IASP currently has more than 6500 members worldwide and the NZPS is the New Zealand Chapter of this organisation.
