The Neuropathic Pain Special Interest Group (NePSIG) of the Canadian Pain Society brings together clinicians and researchers from multiple disciplines with expertise in the pathophysiology and management of neuropathic pain. Its main output has been the development of consensus-based, evidence-based clinical practice guidelines, first for the pharmacological management of neuropathic pain and later extended to interventional treatments such as spinal cord stimulation, epidural injections, intravenous infusions, and nerve blocks. Beyond guideline development, the group functions as a professional network within the Society, allowing members with a shared interest in neuropathic pain to collaborate, share expertise, and stay connected with developments in the field. Its more recent efforts have focused on organizing refresher courses for practicing clinicians and trainees with an interest in treating neuropathic pain.

Involves the use of percutaneous procedures to diagnose and treat chronic pain conditions.

Its purpose is to strengthen the interprofessional dimension of pain care in Canada: making allied health perspectives visible within CPS, developing education that reflects how pain is actually treated across a team, and improving how patients and clinicians connect with qualified interprofessional providers.

Provide health care practitioners (HCP) with practical knowledge of the Canadian medico-legal system, including tort law, independent medical examinations (IMEs), and expert testimony.
