🔬 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱: Women living with chronic pain after incontinence procedures

'My name is Mia Walsh and I am a current MSc student in Clinical Neuroscience at the University of Galway. I would like to invite you to take part in a qualitative study to look at chronic pain in women following procedures used for stress urinary incontinence including mesh procedures, sling procedures etc. The study aims to better understand women’s experiences of living with chronic pain following these procedures. We hope this research will help us to better understand the pain management and psychological support needs of women with chronic pain after these procedures.

We are grateful to CPI for sharing this opportunity with their members and wider audiences. We will share the findings with CPI to help inform future research and support for people affected.'

🌟 Today, on World MS Day, we shine a light on Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and the strength and resilience of those living with this condition across Ireland and beyond.

MS is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, often causing chronic pain, fatigue, mobility challenges, and many other life-changing symptoms.

💡 Chronic pain is one of the most common and debilitating aspects of MS. When the immune system mistakenly attacks the nerves, it can lead to inflammation, nerve damage, and disrupted pain signals that impact everyday life.

💜 Raising awareness of MS and the realities of chronic pain is vital to improving understanding, support, access to care, and ongoing research.

At Chronic Pain Ireland, we are committed to supporting people living with chronic pain through education, advocacy, resources, and community support. Learn more about the supports available: https://chronicpain.ie/how-we-can-help/

Living with chronic pain? We’re inviting adults with chronic pain to take part in a research study exploring a Virtual Reality (VR) education programme designed to help explain what chronic pain is and how it can be managed.

The programme runs over five weeks and uses an engaging virtual environment - no long lectures and no prior VR experience needed!

By taking part, you’ll help researchers understand whether this approach can improve pain understanding, wellbeing, and quality of life for people living with chronic pain.
