Valladolid from October 17th to 23rd, 2022

WEEK AGAINST PAIN

Every October 17th, since 2004, the World Day Against Pain is celebrated internationally, an initiative of the World Health Organization.

On December 13, 2021, we inaugurated our Unit of Active Coping Strategies for Pain while paying tribute to Miguel Angel Galán, who was, together with Fede Montero, responsible for the research and implementation of this unit.

The unit is a pioneering unit in the national health system. As a first approach from Primary Care, for patients with persistent pain, we work from education in neurobiology of pain and movement. We want to make known to the city of Valladolid, this hopeful approach to chronic pain, a problem that affects one in five people. We are determined to organize a "Week against Pain" from October 17 to 23, 2022 to make this approach known to society.
