NEMO Science Museum: Interactief experiment ‘Het effect van lachen op je pijnervaring’

Interactive experiment: The effect of laughter on your experience of pain

In collaboration with the NEMO Science Museum in Amsterdam, you will conduct an experiment to see whether laughter affects your sensitivity to pain.

IASP World Pain Congress

From 5-9 August the IASP World Pain Congress was held in Amsterdam. Thousands of doctors, nurses, researchers and policy makers from all over the world come together to share the latest insights in the field of pain. The Pain Alliance in the Netherlands (PA!N) is of course also there. In order to let the people in Amsterdam become aware of part of the congress, we have set up the IMPACT PA!N 2024 program. With this program we want to make an impact on the residents of the city!

Program IMPACT PA!N 2024

The Pain Alliance in the Netherlands (PA!N) will organize free activities for the people of Amsterdam: for people with pain, their loved ones and all other interested parties. Dance workshops in the Vondelpark, weekly art tours in the Rijksmuseum, comedy shows in Boom Chicago, and of course science; in NEMO during the museum night… It is all on the program to make the general public think about pain in an accessible way and how you can possibly influence your pain yourself.
