 Welcome to the Foundation for Ethics in Pain Care. We are a not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving pain care in the United States through returning control of the discipline to patients and their health care providers.

Through education, research, and advocacy, the "business" of pain medicine will hopefully return to its noble (and more effective) roots of a "profession".

 As many as 50 million American women live with one or more neglected chronic pain conditions. For the majority of these women, our health care system offers frustratingly little help. Too many women face neglect, dismissal and discrimination. The government and private sector have shortchanged research on these conditions, and as a result, they are poorly understood. Health care professionals receive inadequate training on the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions, and effective evidence-based treatments are lacking. In addition, there is growing evidence of a discriminatory pattern in the medical care given to women with chronic pain. Our campaign is working to change this. The Campaign to End Chronic Pain in Women aims to improve the quality of women’s lives by raising awareness of chronic pain conditions that disproportionately impact women, as well as the neglect, dismissal and discrimination faced by women suffering from chronic pain.
