The Interest Group aims to encourage research into and access to innovative treatments, promote prevention and self-management approaches, decrease stigma and work together to improve quality of life for people living with these disabling conditions. To achieve these goals they are calling on European policy-makers to:
- Support patient-led campaigns to educate, eradicate stigma and raise awareness of neurological and chronic pain disorders
- Improve regulation to better enable research to develop innovative options in the prevention and treatment of these disorders
- Strengthen patient involvement in this research, and in policy-setting and decision-making
- Implement relevant European social legislation to ensure appropriate support for people living with neurological and chronic pain disorders
