PAIN RELIEF INTERNATIONAL

Pain is universal. Access to safe, effective pain relief is not.

An estimated 5.5 billion people worldwide lack adequate access to pain management. In underserved and resource-limited communities, untreated pain reduces workforce participation, disrupts education, increases healthcare utilization, and deepens poverty.

Pain Relief International exists to close that gap.

We distribute reusable, long-lasting, drug-free pain relief technology to underserved populations — improving daily function, economic productivity, and quality of life.

The Problem

Pain is not only a medical issue.
It is a development issue.

In low-resource settings:

• Access to pharmaceuticals is inconsistent
• Ongoing medication costs are unsustainable
• Infrastructure limitations restrict treatment options
• Dependence on consumables creates recurring financial burden

Untreated or under-treated pain limits physical function, increases psychological stress, and reduces economic mobility.

Addressing pain is foundational to restoring participation in work, caregiving, and education.

Our Solution

Pain Relief International distributes a passive, reusable, non-pharmacologic pain relief technology designed for real-world conditions.

Our approach:

• Requires no electricity
• Requires no consumables
• Has long functional life
• Can be shared within families
• Functions in clinics, homes, and rural environments

By reducing reliance on pharmaceutical supply chains, we provide a sustainable, self-management tool suitable for low-resource contexts.

Built for Global Health Impact

We designed our model around five essential principles:

Differentiated
A reusable, drug-free approach to pain self-management.

Implementable
Deployable without specialized infrastructure or ongoing supply requirements.

Investable
Low cost per beneficiary with measurable distribution and utilization metrics.

Scalable
Expandable from local pilots to regional and national programs.

Democratized
Accessible regardless of income, geography, or healthcare access.

Pain limits participation. Relief restores productivity.

Each deployment contributes to:

• Increased workforce participation
• Improved daily function
• Reduced reliance on higher-risk interventions
• Strengthened household stability
• Lower long-term healthcare burden

Reusable distribution models extend impact for years beyond initial deployment. With long functional life and shareability within households, each device generates expanding benefit over time.

Investments create sustained, community-level access to drug-free pain relief—not single-use intervention.
