Prevention and treatment of chronic pain in the Ems-Dollart-Region
PIs: Prof. Dr. Lars Schwettmann, Prof. Dr. Remko Soer
Chronic pain is a prevalent issue in the Ems-Dollard region, causing significant health problems and impacting the overall quality of life for its residents. Recent studies have shown inadequate quality of care and insufficient cooperation between the German and Dutch sides of the region when it comes to pain management. The goal of the consortium is to effectively prevent and treat chronic pain in the cross-border region. This will be achieved through a prevention campaign aimed at raising awareness among the population, educating them on proper pain management, the impact of lifestyle on pain, and the appropriate use of medication. In addition, the project, which is supported by the Interreg VI Deutschland-Nederland programme, will focus on improving cooperation and communication between healthcare professionals on both sides of the region. The ultimate aim is to improve the overall health and well-being of individuals suffering from chronic pain in the Ems-Dollard region.
