Abstract

"The National Institutes of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is establishing the Preclinical Screening Platform for Pain (PSPP) in response to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL) initiative. The HEAL initiative is a trans-NIH effort to fast track basic, translational, and clinical research in the field of addiction and pain to address the national opioid crisis. The goal of the PSPP is to foster the development of opioid alternatives to treat all types of pain conditions." “This study is part of the NIH’s Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL) initiative to speed scientific solutions to understand the basis of pain and enhance clinical pain management.”
