Special Interest Groups (SIGs)

The dramatic growth in membership of the International Association for the Study of Pain is a reflection of developments in pain research and patient care. As the knowledge base expands, it becomes more and more important for clinicians and researchers with specific interests to have a forum to discuss highly specific issues in depth. A Special Interest Group (SIG) provides participating members with an opportunity to carry on intensive, in-depth discussion in certain areas of interest. 

Membership in SIGs is open only to members of IASP. Members wishing to join a SIG should indicate their preference on the annual membership renewal form or contact the IASP Secretariat directly.
