and management of pain perceived in the Abdominal and Pelvic areas.
- Promote a multidisciplinary approach to patients with abdominal and
pelvic pain. Including the development of global guidelines, in which
pain, its associated distress, physical disability and associated
disorders are the central subject, independent of the medical
specialties (e.g. urology, gynecology and gastro-enterology)
- Provide guidance for training in pain management in abdominal and
pelvic pain and for clinics that deliver this management.
- Disseminate up to date knowledge of abdominal and pelvic pain by
setting up educational programs for patients and caregivers.
- Implement modern systems (e.g. web-based maps) to propagate the
guidelines for daily use in patient care.

disseminate the issues around these pains to a broader audience..
