The Impact of Patient Voices in Pain Research: A Conversation with Keith Meldrum
Description
Editor’s note: During the 2023 North American Pain School (NAPS), five pain researchers participated in the PRF-NAPS 2023 Correspondents program. As we prepare to hear from our 2024 NAPS Correspondents, we’re taking a look back at some highlights of NAPS 2023 and some of the people who made them possible.
In this episode of the IASP-PRF Podcast, PRF correspondent Taylor Yeater spoke with Keith Meldrum – a dedicated pain advocate and one of two patient partners invited to attend NAPS 2023. In their wide-ranging conversation, Keith discussed living with persistent pain for over 30 years, his extensive advocacy efforts for people living with pain, and the special impact of his experience at NAPS. Be sure to check out Keith’s blog for more of his thoughts on advocacy and his experience of living with persistent pain.
