Funded Activity Summary

Although chronic pain is a serious clinical problem, treatments for its alleviation have largely failed, in part because they have not been tailored to the specific origin of the pain. This proposal focuses on rheumatoid arthritis, a common and incurrable source of chronic pain. This study will investigate how specific changes in spinal cord nerve cells contribute to chronic arthritic pain. The outcomes will help identify new targets to treat chronic pain in rheumatoid arthritis.
