Funded Activity Summary

Chronic pain presents a significant burden to society and is associated with poor self-rated health, health-related unemployment and high psychological stress. Chronic neuropathic or inflammatory pain mechanisms are not fully known, however the pathways of voltage-gated sodium channel subtypes are found to be critical for the relay of information in all pain pathways. These channel subtypes will be investigated in established chronic animal pain models to help establish clinical approaches.
