IASP 2024

The global campaign of the International Society for the Study of Pain (IASP) during the year 2024 focuses on the disparity of gender and sex in relation to pain. Its objective is to highlight the inequalities that occur in pain related to sex and gender, with the aim of better understanding why they happen, and to consider the implications they may have on the way we are handling it.

The IASP, through reference experts, has drawn up a series of Information Sheets that focus on the key questions we often ask ourselves, which we leave at your disposal
