From the Hippocratic corpus, the author writes, “I consider the responsibility of medicine to be to entirely relieve the suffering of the sick and to blunt the extremities of disease” (The Art 3.4-7)1. Note that despite the acknowledgement that disease may only be blunted, in promoting health it is our duty to relieve suffering wherever possible. There has been some success in relieving the suffering due to acute pain, i.e., via local and general anesthesia, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, and opioids, but we have largely failed in effectively removing suffering due to chronic pain conditions. We need new, nonaddictive acute and more effective chronic pain treatments, and we are approaching a unique opportunity for funding new directions for pain research.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) will hold a webinar on Thursday, January 13 to discuss a current Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) calling for research to improve the interpretation of patient-reported outcomes at the individual patient level for use in clinical practice.
Webinar speakers will highlight the importance and background of the NOSI and discuss examples of responsive topics, methodologic approaches that might be considered in addressing individual-level score interpretation, and information about receipt dates. The session will end with a panel discussion in which colleagues from across NIH will respond to audience questions. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health is one of the NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices participating in this NOSI.
