The SIG on Pain and Pain Management in Non-human Species aims to:

• Encourage basic and clinical research on the recognition of pain in animals, mechanisms of pain in animals, and management of pain in animals.
• Encourage the use of spontaneous animal disease as a model for studying mechanisms and alleviation of human pain.
• Encourage cross-species collaboration in pain research.
• Act as a central point for interdisciplinary discussion of pain in non-human species.
