People with lived experience of pain play a central role in our research, helping us understand the problem of chronic pain, defining our priorities, guiding our research approach and methods, and communicating our results. There are many ways in which people provide support, from responding to surveys and questionnaires, being involved in research panels, and co-designing experiments.
