Chronic neck pain is difficult to treat and can result in a complex set of symptoms, including dizziness, disturbed vision, and exaggerated pain responses in the upper torso and arms. Thus, there is a need to develop new treatments for this debilitating condition. This project will study how damage to structures in the neck alters the excitability of nerve cells in the upper cervical spinal cord. The results will provide a foundation for development of therapies to treat chronic neck pain.

慢性颈部疼痛很难治疗，可能会导致一系列复杂的症状，包括头晕，视力障碍，以及上躯干和手臂的过度疼痛反应。因此，需要开发用于这种使人衰弱的病症的新治疗。这个项目将研究颈部结构的损伤如何改变上颈脊髓神经细胞的兴奋性。研究结果将为开发治疗慢性颈痛的疗法提供基础。
