Kolkata is set to host a major international academic gathering in pain medicine as ICRAPAIN 2026 — the International Conference on Recent Advances in Pain — comes to the city in September 2026. The main conference will be held on 4th and 5th September 2026 at Vedic Village, Kolkata, while pre-conference and post-conference workshops will take place at Daradia: The Pain Clinic, New Town, Kolkata, on 3rd and 6th September 2026.
Conference Organization and Participation
ICRAPAIN 2026 is being organized by Daradia Pain Foundation in association with Daradia: The Pain Clinic. The conference is expected to bring together leading pain physicians, international faculty, researchers, young clinicians, and industry innovators for focused academic exchange, hands-on learning, and global networking. With participation from over 50 international faculty representing 20 countries, the event will highlight the rapid development of modern pain medicine.
Focus Areas and Topics
The conference will cover interventional pain practice, ultrasound-guided interventions, C-arm-guided spine procedures, regenerative therapies, radiofrequency techniques, cryoneurolysis, neuromodulation, cancer pain management, neuropathic pain, and the role of artificial intelligence in future pain care. The scientific programme includes expert lectures, panel discussions, academic debates, live demonstrations, and focused workshops.
Addressing Chronic Pain in India
Chronic pain is increasingly recognized as a major public health challenge in India. Many patients suffer for years due to delayed diagnosis, limited access to specialist pain services, lack of awareness, and overdependence on repeated medications or surgery. ICRAPAIN 2026 aims to address this gap by promoting advanced, evidence-based, minimally invasive, and patient-centered pain management approaches.
Opportunities for Indian Doctors
For Indian doctors — especially anesthesiologists, PMR specialists, orthopedicians, neurologists, rheumatologists, general practitioners with an interest in pain, and postgraduate students — ICRAPAIN 2026 offers an opportunity to learn directly from global experts while connecting with national leaders and peers. The event is expected to strengthen India's role as a growing hub for education, research, and innovation in pain medicine.
Organizing Team’s Vision
The organizing team from Daradia Pain Foundation stated that ICRAPAIN 2026 is designed not only as a conference but as a platform to shape the future of pain medicine in India and South Asia. The focus will be on practical skills, academic mentorship, international collaboration, and helping young doctors understand pain medicine as an independent and rapidly evolving specialty.
