Membership
The National Foundation for the Treatment of Pain is the only source of direct medical intervention for intractable pain patients in the United States. NFTP is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping pain patients find relief. It is supported entirely by tax-deductible member contributions, grants and corporate sponsorship. Without these needed donations we cannot continue to provide services for pain patients everywhere, many of whom suffer financial hardship as a result of illness and disability. If you care about stopping the suffering please help us continue our work. Your contribution will directly support pain patient advocacy services, communication through our website, and medical treatment, from which many suffering individuals have found relief. Annual membership is $25. Those who cannot afford it may request that the fee be waived.

Membership supports the Foundation, which:
- Provides advocacy and support with your current doctors, with your family, and with anyone else immediately involved;
- Refers you to competent local help, if local advocacy fails
- Provides direct out-patient care if no local referral can be successfully arranged
- Works with a national pharmacy to provide appropriate pain medication without harassment from unsympathetic pharmacists.
The Foundation also works closely with more than 50 national organizations to promote national and state legislation to protect the right to treatment of pain patients and their doctors.
The Foundation's web site now receives more than 14,000 hits every day.
The Foundation needs the financial support of every person who contacts us for help. Your membership will allow us to grow, advocate, treat, and defend. It also will be a part of the National Pain Awareness Campaign, to change the way America cares for those in pain and those who treat them. |
