Date: Thursday, May 8th, 7:00 am to 8:00 am, Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)
The Pain Registries Special Interest Group aims to:
- Provide guidance on best practices for developing pain registries.
- Represent pain registries within IASP.
- Support collaborators from medical centers worldwide to join or initiate pain registries for procedures, therapies, or services.
- Initiate and advance registry-related projects.
- Guide funding to support the further expansion and development of registries.
- Encourage collaborators to present their findings at IASP meetings.
- Promote registry-based trials.
- Encourage existing medical registries (unrelated to pain specifically) to include some “agreed” standard pain outcomes as a minimum.
During this webinar, speakers will discuss how researchers, especially those affected by factors such as geography and/or availability of facilities, can learn more about the access and assessment of treatment for pain using registry-based findings.

She has 20 years of experience in clinical anesthesia and spearheads China’s Acute Postoperative Pain Study as one of the leading principal investigators.
Alexander Stahmann, MSc, is the Managing Director of the German Multiple Sclerosis Registry. He completed his training as a medical computer scientist at the University of Göttingen in 2013 and worked as research associate at the Department of Medical Informatics at the University Medical Center Göttingen until 2016. He has been a member of the MS Registry’s board since 2016 and Managing Director since 2018. The MS Registry, which was founded by the German Multiple Sclerosis Society in 2001, is involved in national and international research collaborations and serves as a data source for EMA mandated PASS.
David Holloway, PhD, joined the electronic Persistent Pain Outcomes Collaboration (ePPOC) as Director in May 2022, after an extensive career in both the public and private sector, most recently as Director of Quality and Safety for an Australian community nursing and aged care organization. ePPOC has been collecting pain outcomes data for more than a decade across Australia and New Zealand and is currently progressing towards the third iteration of its dataset. David has held a varied range of operational management and clinical governance roles covering both face-to-face and telehealth delivery models. He completed his PhD thesis on the efficacy of virtual environments in increasing competence and confidence of nursing students in relation to medication administration.
