Frequent and incapacitating, chronic pain impacts approximately 20% of the world’s population. Musculoskeletal issues, like back pain, usually top the list of conditions causing persistent pain, followed by headaches, orofacial discomfort, and visceral pain (such as abdominal, pelvic, or genital pain).
PainSA is a chapter of the International Association for the Study of Pain. Our mission is to improve all aspects of pain management in Southern Africa.
