The Alliance of State Pain Initiatives (ASPI) serves the national network of State Pain Initiatives, which are volunteer interdisciplinary organizations that work to dissemina te accurate pain management information, educate healthcare professionals, promote clinical and institutional change, raise public and patient awareness of the importance of pain management, and advocate for the removal of regulatory and legislative barriers to pain management.

The Resource Center of the ASPI is dedicated to improving pain management nationwide by supporting the work of the State Pain Initiatives and by developing programs and educational resources to positively influence health care systems, the regulatory climate and the culture at large.

To help accomplish that mission, The Resource Center has established this e-commerce website to provide resources, at nominal cost or free, to support efforts to improve the quality of pain management.
