Started in Nov. 2006, the International Pain Foundation (iPain) is a registered nonprofit with a mission to educate and support the chronic pain community around the world. iPain provides community based services that address needs of chronic pain patients with conditions such as lyme, post cancer pain, fibromyalgia, diabetic neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, lupus, and more. We fulfill our mission by: promoting public and professional awareness of chronic pain conditions, educating those afflicted with the painful diseases, their families, friends and healthcare providers on the disabling pain it causes, and providing action-oriented public education and pain policy improvement through activities and efforts to eliminate the under treatment of chronic pain and increase proper access to care.
