Case Studies
Cases below describe how living with pain affects their daily life and the reasons why they chose to become involved in pain research.
How can I be involved?
APDP welcomes people with lived pain experience to be involved and engaged in our research. Together we can best understand your experiences and needs. Ultimately we will create new knowledge about what causes chronic pain and how better to treat it.
You can become a part of the APDP community. Our members organise events including workshops, webinars and conferences to ensure that we work together so that our research will best meet the needs of people living with pain. If you are interested to be part of the APDP, JOIN OUR COMMUNITY.
Patient and public involvement often starts near to home, and many research groups that are part of APDP have developed excellent patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) activities that can meet different needs. For more information use the following links;
