Funded Activity Summary

Pain is a major problem for people with spinal cord injuries and is common, severe and difficult to treat. There is increasing evidence to suggest that pain may be linked to specific changes in some brain regions following a spinal cord injury. Several possible brain changes have been suggested but not investigated fully and have different implications for treatment. This project aims to characterise these brain changes with the purpose of developing novel effective and targeted treatments.
