Nerve: Rethink Pain

Rethink Pain™ Registry

This registry is designed to assess the treatment path of patients presenting for surgical intervention due to chronic neuropathic pain and to evaluate the overall effectiveness of surgical treatment for such pain. Data on the mechanism(s) of injury, non-surgical treatment courses, surgical treatments, concomitant treatments and peri/post-surgical outcomes will be collected and reported.

This registry is designed to be a multi-institutional collaborative effort to better understand how patients with chronic neuropathic pain are treated.
