Pain has a detrimental impact on ones quality of life and a significant financial impact on the community. It has recently been revealed that chronic pain is associated with altered electrical rhythms within the brain. Using human brain imaging, we aim to determine the underlying reason for this altered rhythm in humans with pain resulting from nervous system damage. Defining this mechanism will aid in the development of better treatment regimes.

疼痛对一个人的生活质量有不利影响，对社区有重大的经济影响。最近发现，慢性疼痛与大脑内电节律的改变有关。使用人脑成像，我们的目标是确定这种改变人类神经系统损伤引起的疼痛节律的根本原因。确定这一机制将有助于制定更好的治疗方案。
