Chronic pain is common, with one in five Australians having long-term pain that is serious enough to cause disability. Unfortunately this type of pain is difficult to treat, and current medicines are ineffective in many people, with unwanted side-effects. The aim of this project is to understand how signalling in the spinal cord changes following the development of chronic pain so we can find better strategies to reverse the symptoms and treat pain more effectively.

慢性疼痛很常见，五分之一的澳大利亚人患有严重到足以导致残疾的长期疼痛。不幸的是，这种类型的疼痛很难治疗，而且目前的药物对许多人无效，具有不想要的副作用。这个项目的目的是了解脊髓中的信号如何随着慢性疼痛的发展而变化，这样我们就可以找到更好的策略来扭转症状，更有效地治疗疼痛。
