Dear Colleague,

It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in the upcoming The Symposium on Clinical Pain Trials in Europe (SOPATE2017) which will take place 25-26 October 2017 in London, UK. 

More than 100 million people in Europe suffer from chronic pain and there is little agreement on what medications are helpful.

One reason for this is that clinical trials remain poor in assessing pain, disability and measuring meaningful improvement.

This Symposium, which will look at Clinical Trials in Pain, will bring together researchers, clinicians, industry professionals and other related experts to look at ways of improving the situation by developing better ideas and practices in clinical trials on pain.

The SOPATE2017 program will include a wealth of knowledge from our world renowned panel of experts.

We look forward to seeing you at SOPATE2017 in the exciting and dynamic city of London.
