BEING INVOLVED IN RESEARCH – ANTONY CHUTER
Alleviate is working with HDR UK to create an online, safe, platform as a key resource for the national pain research communities. Creating this hub will enable researchers to tackle the challenges in understanding the complexity and unpredictability of pain. It will also reveal new and improved treatments across diverse chronic and debilitating pain conditions.
