Taking action against pain

We are dedicated to creating a better future for our patients, so getting involved with diverse initiatives that support this goal is vital.

CHANGE PAIN

CHANGE PAIN® is an international, non-promotional educational initiative introduced by Grünenthal across 12 European countries. It is specifically for healthcare professionals with an interest in pain management and aims to increase knowledge to advance the management of patients suffering from acute and chronic pain. CHANGE PAIN® was launched in the UK over 8 years ago and currently has more than 7000 members. It is primarily web-based and hosts a range of CPD-accredited interactive modules, learning resources, tools, an image library etc. Many international and national experts, clinical and non-clinical, have either presented CHANGE PAIN® and/or have contributed to the educational content.

Individual research grants are worth up to € 50,000 per project for a duration of up to two years.

PainW.I.S.E. Grant

In May 2025, Pain Alliance Europe introduced the PainW.I.S.E (Pain, Wellbeing, Innovation, Self-management, Empowerment) Grant, which is sponsored by Grünenthal. This initiative aims to empower people living with chronic pain through education, support, and self-care, evolving from the previous Brain Mind and Pain (BMP) Grant. The grant strives to foster initiatives driven by patients and patient organizations or in collaboration with them, focusing on raising awareness of the challenges faced by those with chronic pain and improving their quality of life through better management and prevention. Applications for the PainW.I.S.E Grant are open from May until July 2025 and the winners of the grant will be selected by an independent jury and then announced.

For more details on the PainW.I.S.E Grant and application procedures, please check the information provided by Pain Alliance Europe.
