The University of Sydney - Pain Management Research Institute (PMRI)

The Pain Management Research Institute (PMRI) is a joint initiative between The University of Sydney and Royal North Shore Hospital. PMRI is a division of the Kolling Institute of Medical Research, which has the broad goal of improving human health. The NSW Ministry of Health has recognised PMRI as the Lead Centre for Pain Research and Education in NSW.

The Pain Management Research Institute is staffed by a multidisciplinary group of clinicians, researchers and educators who work together to improve our understanding of all forms of pain and their treatments. Research, teaching and clinical activities extend from acute pain (e.g. post operative and trauma) to chronic non-cancer pain (e.g. low back pain, post amputation pain, herpes) and cancer pain management.
