Universitat Rovira i Virgili

Algos research group in pain

We are a group of professionals linked, most of all, to the Rovira i Virgili University interested in the study and treatment of pain and our goal is to help improve the quality of life of those who suffer. It is with these people and their relatives, also their friends and colleagues, with whom we have a firm commitment.

In recent years progress in controlling pain has been formidable, in fact unthinkable it has not been too long. Even so, despite the efficacy of available treatments, it is true that many people continue to experience pain recurrently; a pain that considerably interferes with his life and that often makes them feel miserable.

It is with these people and their relatives, also their friends and colleagues, with whom we have a firm commitment: help them improve their quality of life. We are one of those who believe firmly in that well-known saying of 'more worth to prevent than to cure'. And so much of our time and resources are aimed at developing treatments that prevent chronic pain and disability. We know that preventing pain is not possible, in some cases not desirable (we must not forget that pain is often an alarm sign, indicative that something does not work). And although pain may sometimes be inevitable, suffering and disability are optional, these can be prevented.
