2005-2006 Global Year Against Pain in Children
Background
The aim of the IASP Global Year Against Pain is to raise awareness of
a different aspect of pain each year. This theme for 2005-2006 was
Pain in Children. This theme was emphasized throughout the year
with updated materials. IASP Chapters and individuals involved in pain
research and treatment organized Global Year events in their
communities to focus attention on this facet of pain, with the ultimate
objective of improving pain relief in children throughout the world.
