Chronic pain is very common, with one in five Australians suffering long-term pain that is serious enough to cause disability. It is extraordinarily difficult to treat. Medicines used to treat normal pain symptoms are usually ineffective on chronic pain patients because the cause of the pain is different. The aim of this project is to identify new drug targets in the spinal cord that are specific for chronic pain so we can develop new medicines to reverse the symptoms safely and effectively.

慢性疼痛很常见，五分之一的澳大利亚人患有长期疼痛，严重到足以导致残疾。它非常难以治疗。用于治疗正常疼痛症状的药物通常对慢性疼痛患者无效，因为疼痛的原因不同。这个项目的目的是确定脊髓中针对慢性疼痛的新药靶点，这样我们就可以开发出安全有效地逆转症状的新药。
