The Methodology, Evidence Synthesis, and Implementation Special Interest Group (MESISIG) aims to:
- Foster a widespread interest in the production and science of systematic reviews and meta-analysis of the highest quality for pain management.
- Provide a forum for dissemination of skills and reviews, providing assistance in the work of “discovering” relevant publications, quality control and scoring, and extracting data, to assist in maintaining the high profile of pain research and management in the wide context of health care.

Quality, Bias, and Integrity in Pain Research: Creating the Next Generation of Pain Science
In this symposium, we report on:
1) How to understand quality in both primary research and systematic review.
2) How spin (i.e., misdirection) and diversion occur.
3) The current state of scientific retractions in pain literature.
4) How we might explore the trustworthiness of pain evidence.
