Current Research Collaborations

Charity Pain UK

Chronic Pain Australia is collaborating with the charity Pain UK on, “The Lived Experience of Pain”. This includes a systematic literature review of existing qualitative studies regarding the lived experience of chronic pain (conducted 2021). This will inform questions for a national UK survey. This data will further be analysed and will culminate in a publication and report, that will highlight the impact that those people living with chronic pain experience.

Australian Pain Solutions Alliance

Chronic Pain Australia is a Steering Committee member, representing consumers in the development of the Australian Pain Solutions Alliance.

Proposed Vision: All Australians shall live unburdened by pain

Proposed Mission: To unite consumers, researchers, health professionals, industry and government to propel the discovery and delivery of effective pain solutions

Curtain University Collaboration

Chronic Pain Australia supported dissemination of a national survey for a Curtin University-led project on what people living with pain and carers in Australia considered were most important pain care priorities when seeking care from a health professional. This project was undertaken as part of a broader Commonwealth 4 year funded consortium program, led by Professor Michael Nicholas (University of Sydney), on shaping future Health Professional Education and Training.

Web-based self-management program

Chronic Pain Australia is working in collaboration with researchers at the University of Queensland to develop a web-based pain self-management program with the aim to overcome barriers such as accessibility and affordability.

E-hypnotherapy for chronic pelvic pain

Chronic Pain Australia is working in collaboration with researchers at Deakin University to develop an online hypnotherapy treatment to assist people experiencing chronic pelvic pain.
