Take Action

Join forces with APF, other organizations and thousands of others across the United States who are committed to raising public awareness and promoting the best pain policy, legislation and practice.

By uniting, mobilizing and leveraging our collective voices, we can improve pain management. It is not acceptable that 76.5 million Americans suffer pain and the majority do not receive appropriate care!

REMS: The FDA and Pain Medications

The Food and Drug Administration is working with the pharmaceutical industry and stakeholders to develop Risk Evaluation Mitigation Strategies (REMS) for certain classes of medication, including opioid medications. If you are a person with pain, a caregiver or health care professional who treats pain, you are a stakeholder who can play a role in the development of this policy. Read more about REMS.
