  • This year’s PAINWeek was one for the books. Meera Kirpekar and I had the honor to deliver three dedicated talks on pelvic pain—a topic that for too long has been overlooked, misunderstood, or dismissed....I’m proud to stand alongside colleagues who are changing the narrative. Together, we are reshaping how pelvic pain is understood and treated. Thank you to PAINWeek for a well designed conference addressing much needed topics! - Alopi Patel M.D., FASA

The spectrum of content here is vast - there is truly something for everyone: physicians, pharmacists, APPs, social workers, dieticians, psychologists, and anyone else involved in the provision of pain management. - Isabelle Zerfas (2025 PAINbassador)

  • PAINWeek provides an important venue to put new insights into the hands of clinicians, researchers, and innovators dedicated to improving chronic pain care.
