UW Pain and Policy Studies Group
The mission of the University of Wisconsin Pain and Policy Studies Group
is the study of public policy in relation to pain management. They are
interested in the extent to which the regulation (or the perception
of regulation) of drugs and professional practice affects pain management.
Much of our work focuses on identifying and addressing the barriers
to medical use of opioid analgesics (narcotic drugs), which are essential
to chronic pain management and palliative care. We are also interested
in the effects of prescription monitoring and health insurance on pain
management.
