Measure, understand, act.
With projects like IPAM and EVA-DO, the QPRN is building a culture of measurement to transform pain management.
And tomorrow, where will we be?
#NPAW2025 #PrioritizePain
Chronic pain affects 1 in 5 Canadians, yet it remains one of the most under-researched and under-treated health conditions.
Canadian researchers are changing that.
#NPAW2025 #PrioritizePain
Understanding & trying to manage adult pain is bad enough; not knowing what to do to help manage a child’s pain is unacceptable & heartbreaking. We need to do everything we can to manage & support children’s pain. Effective pediatric pain management is A Path Forward. #NPAW2025 #PrioritizePain
🩶 8 million Canadians live with pain — including up to 3 million children and youth. Pain doesn’t always show up on the outside, but it deeply affects young people, families, and communities. This Nov 2–8, we join National Pain Awareness Week to help make pain visible and prioritized. Through our ongoing study, Advancing Patient-Centered Care in Young People Living with Chronic Pain (Dr. Roberta Woodgate, University of Manitoba), we aim to better understand young people’s experiences and shape care that truly meets their needs. #NPAW2025 #PrioritizePain #PainAwareness #ChronicPain #InvisibleIllness

In Quebec, the wait time for multidisciplinary pain clinics is nine months, according to a study conducted by #QPRNmembers. ⏳
The lack of information on the availability of services may play a role in these delays.

Better care through assessment🩺📊
Adapting pain care requires effective measurement tools and clear data. Better understanding the effect of treatments means offering care focused on patients' real needs.
#PrioritizePain
#Pain is often considered a #symptom of another illness and is rarely listed as the main reason for consultation.
At #QPRN, we know that pain is not just a symptom: it is an issue in its own right that deserves to be recognized as such. 💡
