If you are a Nepalese and have Chronic pain (pain lasting for more than 3 months) or if you are a clinician involved in treating chronic pain, help chronic pain research in Nepal.
How can you help?
- you can participate as the subject if you have chronic pain.
- if you are clinician/ researcher connected with people living with chronic pain, you may help us connect with them.
You will find more details in the link below.
For further details, you can write to me at {email removed by admin}

I applaud your strategy to help with recruitment for pain study in Nepal. Importantly, you might inquire of RG how to target other researchers and institutes in the Nepal area.
In addition, I find that when I receive requests such as this for participating as either a subject or referring subject for research, it is highly advisable for you to discuss two items.
1. what is the project entail? Briefly, describe is it pharmacological or non-pharmacological intervention and
2. Under the Declaration of Helsinki and Belmont Report and many other organizations, since your research involves Human Subjects, it is essential (by law in the USA), but morally and ethically for all recruitment strategies to have documented IRB approval by an independent board.
Finally, you may wish to confirm with RG staff if they permit these types of solicitations.
I mean no criticism nor harm, but want to be moral and ethical and legal. As there are no universally acceptable definitions nor global consensus on these matters, I think it is essential to at least consider the implications of your request.
Best wishes for your recruitment !
Dear Dr. Alan,
First I would like to thank you for your time in writing to an early career researcher struggling in the research process in a developing country. It is indeed of immense importance for us to hear from someone as experienced as you. We generate research interest in pain by reading research paper conducted by you and your colleagues. So, I really thank you for writing to me.
I would also like to affirm that this research is a survey, thus non - experimental - without the use of drugs or any therapy that possesses harm. However, I acknowledge that I should have mentioned that on the post. The protocol of the study is in line with Declaration of Helsinki, reviewed and approved by local ethical board of the university.
The idea I acquired to post this on RG is from similar posts I have seen earlier on RG. I am unsure, but, I believe that the post is reviewed by the RG team before they are published online. So, the chances are that RG should not have problem with this post of advertisement. I acknowledge your concern in this regards, and I highly appreciate this. I also agree that I should have confirmed with RG team before making posts such as these.
I again thank you for reply on this post. It means a lot to me. I am looking forward to reading more research from you and team in future, which makes us wiser everyday.
With best regards,
Saurab

Grateful for your response Saurab !
I think this format is outstanding for open communications and glad to see their does not appear to be any formal censorship by the website RG hosts. They do allow individuals to flag posts in questionable appropriateness. Your post certainly is reasonable and understandable and not to be flagged in any negative manner.
Just sharing the concerns the we have with the Federal agency Office of Human Research Protection (OHRP) that monitors various types of publications and studies where issues of Informed Consent and other issues may come up as questionable.
Wishing you the best of success !
Gratefully yours,
Alan
