Chronic Pain Ireland

Chronic Pain Ireland (CPI) provides information and support to those living with chronic pain, their families and friends. Recent statistics now show that 13% of the Irish population are living with chronic pain.  Chronic Pain is a disease of the central nervous system and currently there is no cure.

CPI campaigns for greater education and understanding within the medical profession of the condition.Historically chronic pain was misunderstood, under-diagnosed and neglected. 

CPI provides a range of services including, information meetings, guest speaker events, awareness campaigns and self-management workshops which are held nationwide. In addition the organisation produces a quality newsletter and provides telephone and website support.

CPI continues to provide support and information to those suffering with chronic pain while working with all the major stakeholders. CPI lobbies for multi-disciplinary treatment centres, improved health services and changes to the educational curriculum so that Healthcare Professionals are more aware of the condition, the challenges of diagnosing, treating and managing the condition.

Over the years CPI has demonstrated professional leadership in Ireland and throughout Europe by drawing attention to Chronic Pain and promoting new and better methods of dealing with the disease. Recent years has seen a substantial development of global research, both physiological and psychological, into the mechanisms and effects of chronic pain. In more recent years there is increasing evidence to consider, study and treat chronic pain as a separate disease entity.
