The International Association on the Study of Pain (IASP) is the leading global organization supporting the study and practice of pain and pain relief. IASP brings together scientists, clinicians, health care providers, and policymakers from around the world in pursuit of their mission to bring relief to those who are in pain.
The Non-Human Pain Special Interest Group aims to encourage basic and clinical research on the recognition of pain in animals, mechanisms of pain in animals, and management of pain in animals. It also encourage the use of spontaneous animal disease as a model for studying mechanisms and alleviation of human pain and encourage cross-species collaboration in pain research.
Éric Troncy, veterinary, professor at the Université de Montréal and member of the QPRN, has recently been elected chairman of this group.
Congratulations!
