Developing Meaningful Endpoints for Pain Clinical Trials (Day 2)
More than 25 million Americans suffer from daily chronic pain, a highly debilitating medical condition that is complex and difficult to manage. In recent decades, there has been an overreliance on the prescription of opioids for chronic pain, contributing to a significant and alarming epidemic of opioid overdose deaths and addiction. Innovative scientific solutions to develop non-opioid, non-addictive alternative treatment options are thus urgently needed. One of the goals of the Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL) Initiative is to accelerate the discovery and preclinical development of new medications and devices t...

The Opioid Crisis and the Future of Addiction and Pain Therapeutics: Opportunities, Tools, and Technologies Symposium (Day 2)
The Opioid Crisis and the Future of Addiction and Pain Therapeutics: Opportunities, Tools, and Technologies Symposium will highlight challenges and opportunities in the pre-competitive, preclinical stage of development for addiction- and pain-related medications and provide a framework for more focused efforts within the research community. There has been a dramatic increase in individuals who misuse and subsequently become addicted to opiates. The current " opioid crisis " is now a public health burden resulting in deaths, debilitation and significant social and economic impact. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) HEA...
