Pain is a huge burden on society, impacting not only patients but their families, friends and colleagues. There has been limited success in discovering new treatments for pain. Many conditions have no standard of care and, in cases where they do exist, they have limited efficacy. We want to change this.
Explore the pain spectrum with our interactive body map of almost 100 different pain conditions and pain module library, developed in collaboration with expert academic centres.
We aim to deliver major therapeutic advances, by treating patients with a high burden of disease, offering clear benefits for patients and sound health economics for society. Our exciting R&D pipeline includes several new drug candidates and technologies to improve patients’ lives.
We are committed to advancing pain research. We support the latest developments in pain research through grants, public-private partnerships and one-to-one collaborations.
We work with leading experts in the field to better understand pain disorders and keep up-to-date with the latest research.
