Top barrier to joining a trial? Not knowing it exists. Many people never join chronic pain clinical trials simply because they never hear about them. Awareness is step one—access and inclusion matter, too. Because pain is more than a chart. It’s a life. Curious about trials near you?

Peer support isn’t a luxury. It’s a lifeline. In our survey, 76% of people who joined a chronic pain support group said it helped. But only 42% have ever had the chance to participate. That’s a massive gap between what helps and what people are accessing. This kind of care doesn’t require a referral or prescription pad—just access, awareness, and compassion. That’s why we offer free, peer-led support groups—a space to be heard, understood, and never alone: http://painconnection.org/support-groups This #PainAwarenessMonth, we’re unmasking the truth: Pain isolates. Support reconnects. Because pain is more than a chart. It’s a life. #UnmaskingPain #ThisIsPain #PeerSupport #LifeWithPain #USPainFoundation #FindSupport (fb)
