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. If you are currently an IASP member and would like to add a SIG to your membership, you can do so when you pay your dues online or by post. If your membership is current and you wish to add the SIG before your next billing cycle, please contact members@iasp-pain.org.
