Did you know? In 2023, nearly one quarter of U.S. adults had chronic pain, with nearly 10% of those cases frequently limiting life or work activities. Gaps in research and data hinder progress against this pervasive health issue.

Join us on April 9 at noon ET for a discussion with Siobhan Murray from the office of U.S. Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA). Sen. Kaine is working on legislation to overcome these gaps, speeding the path to safe and effective solutions for chronic pain management.
