Chronic pain is a long-term condition that affects daily life, identity, and wellbeing. Despite affecting millions of people worldwide, effective pain care remains limited. Lack of knowledge and awareness among professionals and patients, combined with the invisibility of pain, often leads to disbelief, delayed diagnosis, prolonged suffering, and significant societal costs. Novel approaches are necessary to improve pain care, as most countries’ healthcare system are struggling to provide adequate healthcare for people living with chronic pain. In person-centred care, the partnership between patients and professionals is central. We will present concrete examples from the micro, meso, and macro levels to illustrate the unique benefits of collaboration between patient associations, healthcare professionals, and researchers. Co-creating pain care by implementation of research findings and lived experiences in clinical practice. We demonstrate the importance of working together in the development of “The Swedish healthcare pathway for adults with chronic pain - a person-centered and coherent care pathway”. Co-creating pain research and innovation with patient representatives as co-researchers. To develop person-centred pain care, patient input is vital to identify gaps in pain care, guide meaningful research and innovation, and highlight the urgency of improving pain care. We present an example from the project “My Pain Survey- for Support and Partnership” (PAS-SAP), for developing and evaluating a self-monitoring tool to support person-centred communication in pain care. Knowledge dissemination. The Societal Impact of Pain (SIP) Sweden is a national platform that brings together patients, researchers and healthcare professionals. We will present how we work together to raise awareness and increase knowledge about pain for healthcare professionals and in society. Collaboration between healthcare professionals, researchers and patient associations is essential to co-create and implement effective pain care, conduct relevant research, to disseminate knowledge and raise awareness of chronic pain in society.
