Pain Awareness Month

Pain Awareness Month, observed each September, aims to increase understanding of pain and its impact on individuals’ lives. It highlights advances in pain management, raises awareness about chronic pain conditions, and promotes education to reduce stigma. The goal is to encourage early diagnosis, effective treatment, and support for those living with pain, emphasizing that pain is a complex, multi-dimensional experience. By increasing awareness, the month fosters better resources, research, and compassion for individuals affected by pain, ultimately improving quality of life and ensuring they receive appropriate care.
