Sharon S. Keller Chronic Pain Research Program

Sharon S. Keller Chronic Pain Research Program Deadline: September 30, 2014 The American Pain Society is pleased to announce the third year of the Sharon S. Keller Chronic Pain Research Program. Medical management of chronic pain produces suboptimal outcomes in many patients, characterized by inadequate pain control, unpleasant side effects, or other adverse outcomes. Therefore, non-medical alternatives are needed to enhance pain control and reduce adverse effects of treatment for chronic pain. The purpose of this grant program is to fund research projects that investigate the effectiveness of novel non-pharmacologic treatments for pain, and mechanisms underlying these treatment effects. Applications testing novel treatments or innovative applications of existing non-pharmacologic treatments are encouraged.
