Pain Research - Information for Investigators
As noted in NCCIH’s Strategic Plan, pain is the condition for which adults in the United States most often use complementary and integrative health approaches. This includes musculoskeletal pain (back pain, neck pain, joint pain, etc.), headache, and pain associated with specific conditions (e.g., arthritis). While pain is a normal, vital physiological response to actual or potential tissue injury, in some cases pain can become chronic and a condition unto itself, which leads to biological changes in the central nervous system as well as changes in peripheral tissues.
Pain is a major emphasis of NCCIH’s extramural and intramural research programs, and NCCIH also plays a leadership role in the NIH Pain Consortium, which promotes collaboration among pain researchers across the many NIH Institutes and Centers that have programs and activities addressing pain.
