Research Agenda for the Prevention of Pain and Its Impact: Report of the Work Group on the Prevention of Acute and Chronic Pain of the Federal Pain Research Strategy

Following the 2011 Institute of Medicine report on chronic pain, the Interagency Pain Research Coordinating Committee (IPRCC) was created to enhance research efforts among federal agencies. The IPRCC and Office of Pain Policy at the NIH collaborated to identify gaps in knowledge and address them via a Federal Pain Research Strategy (FPRS). The FPRS appointed Interdisciplinary Work Groups (WGs) to make research recommendations in 5 areas: prevention of acute and chronic pain; acute pain and acute pain management; transition from acute to chronic pain; chronic pain and chronic pain management; and disparities in pain and pain care; cross-cutting issues were also considered.
