Petition Commission NICE to Review Guidelines on Chronic Pain (Published April 2021)

More details

The Review should consider evidence and statements provided by relevant stakeholder and campaign groups.

Experts have argued that because chronic pain has such an important impact on the lives of people who live with it, that every tool available is needed to help in its management.
