Helping to End Addiction Long-term Initiative, or NIH HEAL Initiative, and NINDS (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) Early Phase Pain Investigation Clinical Network (EPPIC-Net) Provides Robust Infrastructure for Clinical Trials of Non-addictive Pain Therapeutics
We present EPPIC-Net's accomplishments since opening in Q4 of 2019. In its first year, EPPIC-Net established a robust infrastructure including a Clinical Coordinating Center, Data Coordinating Center, and 12 Specialized Clinical Centers across th e US, providing broad outreach to diverse pain populations.

NIH HEAL Initiative: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke Preclinical Program for Non-Addictive Pain Therapeutic Development
The National Institutes of Health Helping to End Addiction Long-term, or NIH HEAL Initiative aims to focus efforts on advancing scientific solutions to stem the opioid crisis, improving prevention and treatment of opioid misuse/addiction, and enhancing pain management. NINDS is charged with accelerating the discovery and development of new non-addictive pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic pain therapeutics as part of the HEAL Initiative. PSPP provides researchers from academia and industry, within the US and internationally, an efficient, rigorous, one-stop in vivo resource to screen and profile therapeutic candidates incl...

AAPT Diagnostic Criteria for Central Neuropathic Pain
Central neuropathic pain, which is pain caused by a lesion or disease of the central somatosensory nervous system, is a serious consequence of spinal cord injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis and other conditions affecting the central nervous system. A collaborative effort between the Analgesic, Anesthetic, and Addiction Clinical Trial Translations, Innovations, Opportunities, and Networks (ACTTION) public-private partnership and the American Pain Society (APS), the ACTTION-APS Pain Taxonomy (AAPT) initiative, invited a working group to develop diagnostic criteria for central neuropathic pain.
