The IASP Neuropathic Pain Special Interest Group (NeuPSIG) advances the understanding of mechanisms, assessment, prevention, and treatment of neuropathic pain. The NeuPSIG 2023 International Congress is the leading meeting for the latest research and developments in understanding the mechanisms, assessment, prevention, and treatment of neuropathic pain. This meeting brings together key stakeholders in neuropathic pain to discuss, network, and strengthen scientific collaboration.
