PAC-MAN (Pain After Covid – Multidisciplinary Action Network) is an international network of clinicians, researchers, healthcare professionals and innovation partners dedicated to advancing the understanding and management of chronic pain.

Chronic pain affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide and represents one of the leading causes of disability and reduced quality of life. Despite its enormous impact on individuals and healthcare systems, chronic pain remains underdiagnosed, poorly understood and often inadequately treated.

PAC-MAN brings together experts from multiple disciplines — including medicine, neuroscience, genomics, pharmacology, and biomedical engineering — with the goal of developing a more integrated and scientifically grounded approach to chronic pain.
