PERITO Congratulates Pain Relief Ireland on Second Consecutive European Award

PERITO congratulates our sister company, Pain Relief Ireland, and Clinical Director Prof. Dominic Hegarty on receiving the Most Influential Pain Management Consultant 2026 award at the Irish Enterprise Awards.

This marks the second consecutive year that Pain Relief Ireland has received recognition through the awards programme, following its success in 2025. The achievement reflects the organisation’s continued commitment to innovative, patient-focused pain management and improving the quality of life of people living with chronic pain.

Continued progress in pain management

Since its establishment in 2011, Pain Relief Ireland has continued to develop its specialist clinical services under the leadership of Prof. Hegarty.

Its work combines advanced neuromodulation therapies, integrated digital pain-management systems, research and innovation, and multidisciplinary care incorporating psychology, physiotherapy, lifestyle medicine and interventional treatment.

Commenting on the recognition, Prof. Hegarty said:

“This award reflects our ongoing commitment to improving quality of life through innovative, patient-focused pain management.”

Shared expertise in complex pain

Prof. Hegarty is both Clinical Director of Pain Relief Ireland and Chief Medical Advisor at PERITO. His work across the two organisations reflects a shared commitment to understanding chronic pain, its long-term effects and its impact on an individual’s quality of life.

At PERITO, this clinical expertise supports the provision of clear, evidence-based medicolegal opinions in complex personal injury and medical negligence cases involving pain.

We congratulate Prof. Hegarty and the entire Pain Relief Ireland team on this latest achievement.
