We are delighted to launch our 2020 Pain Awareness Month campaign in collaboration with Sunbeam®, this year’s presenting sponsor. (Read the press release here!)
Our theme for 2020 is #MyPainPlan and will focus on the vital importance of an individualized, multidisciplinary, multimodal approach to pain care—as well as the barriers patients face in accessing this type of care. Below, we detail four important ways to get involved.
We hope you will take an active part in the month’s activities!

Build your “pain plan” and receive a free gift!
We’ve launched a new website, MyPainPlan.org, where you can learn about a wide range of treatment options and create a custom “pain plan.” While supplies last, everyone who creates a plan via MyPainPlan.org will receive a free heating pad from Sunbeam! Get started.

We are pleased to share a 19-page report on the results. Learn more.
