Save the dates for the workshop, “Understanding and Restoring Whole Joint Health in Pain Management: An NIH HEAL Initiative Workshop,” to be held July 25 and 26, 2023. 

This Helping to End Addiction Long-term^® Initiative, or NIH HEAL Initiative^®, workshop will identify critical knowledge gaps in understanding the whole joint, including the contributions of articular and periarticular tissue pathologies to joint pain. Sessions will focus on structural changes in joints, mechanisms of whole joint pathology, differences among joint types and joint pain populations, interventions to address joint pain and disease, and emerging technologies that can be leveraged to advance scientific understanding of joints as complex “organs.” 

Registration information and the workshop agenda will be available on our website soon.
