Pain, Mind, and Movement

The SIG on Pain, Mind, and Movement aims to act as a multidisciplinary forum of communication in order to:

Improve the standard of care provided to patients with disabling pain in order to improve physical and psychological functioning and increase participation in daily life.
Empower health professionals and patients to play active roles in the rehabilitation process.
Encourage basic and clinical research on how mind and movement affect disabling pain.
Facilitate the translation of evidence into clinical practice and to mediate the implementation of new diagnostics and treatments.
Foster communication between researchers, clinicians and patients to drive research and stimulate international study.

The IASP SIG on Pain, Mind, and Movement keeps an archive of published newsletters.
