But pain snatches those moments away from billions of people and families every day. It puts restrictions on daily activities and disrupts sleep. It turns joyful events into occasions of stress and worry. And it forces many people to leave the workforce early. Pain is a disease that has a negative impact on individuals, communities and society as a whole. And the global burden of pain is increasing<sup>i</sup>.</p> <p>One in every five people worldwide suffers from chronic pain<sup>ii</sup> – but 78 percent of those patients are not satisfied with their treatment<sup>iii</sup>. It is estimated that up to 90 percent of adults with chronic pain experience a clinically significant degree of insomnia<sup>iv</sup>, while musculoskeletal pain contributes to 60 percent of permanent work incapacity in Europe<sup>v</sup>. Pain is connected to conditions including anxiety and depression<sup>iv</sup> that can make patients feel isolated. But they are not alone.

Using our specialised expertise in this field, we seek to build on our company’s long tradition as a global leader in pain management – and bring to life our vision of a world free of pain.</p> <p>To accelerate this push for progress, our researchers collaborate with partners worldwide to advance our pipeline of potential treatments. Our Boston Innovation Hub is a centre of excellence for pain research that connects Grünenthal with the scientific community within this innovation hotspot and beyond. This includes exploring additional modalities such as antibodies, peptide antagonists and genetic medicine approaches. Our R&D strategy focuses on identifying novel targets, engineering optimised clinical candidates, and rapidly progressing them to proof of concept and launch.
