Clinical Research Network
The Clinical Research Network (CRN) consists of 16 university-affiliated pain centres across Canada. These sites support and generate both pediatric and adult research. Each site has a Research Coordinator.
The Clinical Research Network is co-chaired by Dr. Ian Gilron and includes two Chronic Pain Network patient partners, Chris DeBow, CRN patient partner co-chair and Marc White.
