This week’s Featured Image depicts topographies of the 5 microstate classes that best explained the data from Jaltare et al.’s study. Microstates C and E have a high spatial correlation and share neural generators. Therefore, studies that a priori extract 4 microstates likely inadvertently merge them into a single microstate.

Webinar – 8 September
Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Exploratory Human Research
Register: https://bit.ly/478tBk2

ML/AI approaches are currently redrawing statistics, as they demonstrate an ability to separate complex data finding unpredicted patterns. This opens up new research routes, and promises advancements especially in a field like pain, where inputs and outputs are as complex as they are multifaceted.

This week’s Featured Image from Seefried et al. shows examples of double staining with primary ab and FMS serum. Note high degree of FMS serum binding to NF200, IB4, CGRP, and PV positive neurons, and lack of overlap with TRPV1 positive small neurons and satellite glia cells (FABP7).

In June, the 2025 North American Pain School (NAPS) gathered in Montebello, Quebec for a powerful week of science, mentorship, and connection.

29 early career researchers explored pain science with leaders like Tor Wager, Clifford Woolf, Jennifer Stinson, and Kirsty Bannister, and learned how to share their work with the world through the new Science Communicators program, led by Neil Andrews.

IASP proudly supports NAPS and our network of immersive Pain Schools and Camps worldwide.

Our Story

The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) is the world’s largest multidisciplinary organization focused on pain research and treatment. IASP membership is open to all professionals involved in the research, diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of pain in such disciplines as anesthesiology, physical therapy, alternative medicine, pediatrics, neuroscience, and psychology.

IASP has more than 90 national chapters and 7,000 members who live in 133 countries. Members may belong to one or more of 21 Special Interest Groups such as neuropathic pain, cancer pain, pain in childhood, and pain in older adults.

To educate and inform its members, IASP funds a variety of grants and fellowships and produces scientific and clinical publications, including the PAIN®, PAIN Reports®, and PAIN: Clinical Updates. IASP also publishes a membership newsletter, PAIN: E-Monthly, as well as books on various aspects of pain through IASP Press. IASP hosts the Pain Research Forum where members of the international pain research community engage in an open exchange of information and ideas, as well as RELIEF, a site where the public can learn about new developments in pain research. Every other year, IASP hosts the world’s largest pain-related meeting of scientists and clinicians, the World Congress on Pain.

IASP was officially incorporated in 1974 and recognized as an NGO by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1987.
