ABSTRACT
The treatment of pain remains a critical, unmet public health challenge. According to the CDC, in 2021, an estimated 20.9% of US adults (51.6 million people) endured chronic pain, and 6.9% (17.1 million people) endured high-impact chronic pain. Additionally, the impact of the social determinants of health on pain treatment are beginning to emerge. Treating pain addresses its control and relief, enhancing patient outcomes and quality of life. However, current treatment options have limitations, creating a significant need for innovative solutions. This raises the role of innovation in identifying new pain medicines. Thus, the clinical development of novel pain medicines is an unmet need to address public health worldwide.
