Week 3: PARTNER

People with lived experience bring essential knowledge to the study of pain. Share your insights.

Meaningful partnership can help ensure that pain research asks relevant questions, reflects the priorities of the people it is intended to serve, and translates knowledge into practice more effectively.

This week, many are learning how people with lived experience can contribute as partners across the research process, from identifying priorities and developing research questions to study design, interpretation, dissemination, and knowledge translation.

IASP’s Global Alliance of Partners for Pain Advocacy (GAPPA) brings together people with lived experience of pain, patient advocates, researchers, clinicians, healthcare providers, and other partners to strengthen the integration of lived experience across pain research, management, education, and advocacy.

Active Solutions for Health works collaboratively to research how we can benefit from the lived experience and pain we see on a daily basis. This means we are always looking for new ways to provide relief to the community, through innovative technologies and care.

ADVOCATE.

When in pain, especially dealing with chronic pain, it can be a challenge to put into words what is being experienced.

Effective pain care requires communication, collaboration, and shared decision-making.

It is vital to find practical ways people living with pain can participate in conversations about their health and care.

It is equally the responsibility of healthcare professionals to listen, validate lived experience, communicate clearly, and support people in identifying approaches that are meaningful to them.

We can help you explore resources that prepare for healthcare conversations, strengthen partnerships with healthcare professionals, and develop supported self-management skills.

Our team at Active Solutions for Health is eager to hear your experiences to help find a resolution. Working collaboratively, with you and each other, we are able to identify what therapies may benefit you most and how we can offload some of your burden.

2026 Pain Awareness Month: UNDERSTAND

Better pain care begins with better understanding.

Because pain is invisible, others may question whether it is real or serious.

This can leave people with pain feeling misunderstood or unfairly treated.

This stigma can make it difficult to talk about pain with other people, including healthcare providers.

Living with neuropathic pain can feel lonely. Supporting people to make meaningful social connections in their communities is crucial to managing their pain.

We also need to keep working to improve understanding of neuropathic pain so that people living with it are treated more kindly by others.

Our therapists are here to listen to you. We understand how pain can affect you and your life, and we are here to help.
