About us
The Pain Research Institute (PRI) was created to support academics and clinicians involved in chronic pain research. It provides a platform for pain researchers across the Liverpool region, including NHS institutions and other universities.
Research conducted within, and in collaboration with, the PRI ranges from small laboratory experiments to large clinical trials, involving healthy volunteers and patients with pain disorders.
Our administrative offices are situated in Aintree University Hospital, in the Clinical Sciences Centre, alongside the Pain Relief Foundation (PRF) offices.
The PRF is a dedicated pain research charity that funds much of the research conducted at the PRI.
