About Us

ISPP is the premier international, interdisciplinary conference on pain in infants, children, and adolescents. It attracts researchers, clinicians and trainees from many disciplines focused on pediatric pain, as well as many exhibitors. ISPP is sponsored by the Special Interest Group on Pain in Childhood of the International Association for the Study of Pain and is hosted every two years.


IASP is the world’s largest multidisciplinary organization focused specifically on pain research and treatment. Pain relief is a human right, yet pain in children is an under-recognized problem around the world. The Special Interest Group on Pain in Childhood of the International Association for the Study of Pain is dedicated to improving pain prevention and treatment for children everywhere.
