Advancing Research
Changing Lives

Welcome

Thank you for visiting the CPRA’s website. We exist to provide a voice for the millions of people suffering with multiple pain conditions, termed Chronic Overlapping Pain Conditions (COPCs). These conditions come at a high cost – to the individuals affected by them, their loved ones and to our health care system and society at large. Misdiagnosis is all too common, coordinated medical care is lacking, and safe, effective treatments are sparse. 

Why is this? A major reason is that only $2.27 per affected person is invested in researching these conditions by the federal government.      

We are working tirelessly to change that!
