Bill > S2922

This bill aims to advance population research for chronic pain. The key provisions are: 1. The Secretary of Health and Human Services, through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), will utilize available Federal research data to clarify the incidence and prevalence of chronic pain from various sources, identify gaps in the available research data, and collect deidentified population research data to fill those gaps. 2. The CDC will develop, in collaboration with relevant experts, standard definitions and approaches for population research on chronic pain to promote greater comparability of data. 3. The CDC will establish a public webpage, the Chronic Pain Information Hub, to aggregate and summarize available Federal data sources, indicators, and peer-reviewed research related to chronic pain, and translate research findings into clinical tools and resources. 4. Individuals or organizations that collaborate with the Secretary and receive payments or other transfers of value from drug or device manufacturers must disclose such information to the Secretary, which will be made publicly available. 5. The Secretary will submit a report to Congress within two years on the implementation of these provisions, including information on the Chronic Pain Information Hub, data gaps, and feedback from collaborators.
