Watch this video for a thought-provoking webinar exploring the vital role of openness and transparency in pain research. This session featured expert-led talks on key practices including pre-registration of studies, the use and benefits of shared data, and practical guidance on sharing both quantitative and qualitative data in line with the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles. Whether you're a researcher, clinician, or student, this webinar provided valuable insights and tools to enhance the rigour and impact of your work through transparent and open research practices. The session was chaired by Dr. Nadia Soliman and Q&A was led by a representative of the IASP Early Career Network, Dr. Aidan Cashin.

This webinar is relevant to all pain researchers. No prior experience required.

Accurate knowledge of harms resulting from healthcare interventions is critical to safeguard public health. Unfortunately, harm assessment is often inadequate in pain research, likely to underestimate the risk of interventions and misinform clinical and policy decisions.

This webinar aimed to highlight key methodological issues regarding the measurement of harms in randomized trials and systematic reviews, and provided an overview of optimal methods for harm assessment in pain research.
