Advisory Report Pain Research

On 19 April 2000 the Minister of Health, Welfare and Sports requested the Advisory Council on Health Research (RGO) to issue an advisory report on the programming of pain research. This report should serve as a handle for the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) in developing a followup programme on pain research for the period 2002-2004. NLG 1.3 million (€ 590,000) per annum has been reserved for the programme. With reference to this request for an advisory report, the RGO has set up a Pain Research Committee, which has prepared the present report.
