Abstract: The 2024 fall conference of the Korean Pain Research Society (KPRS) was held on October 13 at Samsung Medical Center's Cancer Hospital in Seoul, South Korea.Founded on September 2, 1983, as the Korean chapter of the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP), KPRS serves as a multidisciplinary hub for pain research and treatment strategies across basic and clinical sciences [1].The conference brought together experts from various fields, including neurosurgery, neurology, anesthesiology, rehabilitation medicine, and basic sciences.Effective pain management often requires collaboration across neurosurgery, neurology, anesthesiology, rehabilitation medicine, and basic sciences, as these disciplines collectively address the complex nature of pain.Neurosurgeons can provide surgical interventions for structural issues causing pain, while anesthesiologists contribute expertise in nerve block techniques or spinal injections.Neurologists paly a vital role in pain management by diagnosing and treating pain related to the nervous system.Physiatrists help patients regain function and mobility, which is crucial for long-term pain relief and quality of life improvement.Meanwhile, basic research offers insights into the mechanisms of pain at molecular and cellular levers, which guides evidence-based approaches and the development of innovative treatments.This
