This theme will be emphasized  throughout the year following this Global Day with updated materials being posted on this Web page. IASP Chapters and individuals involved in pain research and treatment are organizing 'IASP Global Day of Pain' events in their communities to focus attention on this facet of pain, with the ultimate objective this year of improving pain relief in older people throughout the world.
