Taking action against pain

To support healthcare professionals and patients in managing pain and related diseases, Grünenthal has launched a number of initiatives and grants.

CHANGE PAIN®

Change Pain is an initiative endorsed by the European Pain Federation (EFIC) and Grünenthal. It aims to understand the needs of pain patients and develop solutions to improve the management of pain. Since the initiative was launched in 12 European countries in 2009, a great number of tools have been developed to make physicians’ daily practice easier, and more than 65,000 healthcare professionals have been involved in educational activities, either by completing web-based learning modules or attending workshops across Europe.
