Pain management research nurses support clinical trials and observational studies across chronic pain, neuropathic pain, musculoskeletal pain, and acute pain services. The reading load spans clinical trial protocols, ICH GCP E6(R3), NICE chronic pain guidance (NG193), NICE neuropathic pain guidance (CG173), British Pain Society (BPS) recommendations, Faculty of Pain Medicine opioid-aware resources, IASP taxonomy, and journals including Pain, the European Journal of Pain, and Regional Anaesthesia and Pain Medicine. Converting these PDFs to EPUB enables searching, highlighting, and reading on any mobile device — essential during participant screening, data collection visits, and CPD.
