Background:  

Back pain is a major contributor to the use of opioids in the U.S. However, at present no effective treatment exists that provides long term, sustained relief of back pain and disability for all patients. The NIH BACPAC is a new patient-centric translational research initiative that will address the need for effective and personalized therapies for chronic low back pain. Get more information on #NIHBACPAC, including upcoming webinars and funding opportunities for researchers.
