Airing Pain #149 Trailer: Why pain persists: from childhood trauma to faulty immunity

This edition of Airing Pain focuses on advances in understanding and managing chronic pain, from neuroimmune mechanisms to new diagnostic and treatment approaches.

In this trailer for AP 149, listen to excerpts from the full program on:
– how does acute, short term pain turn into chronic, persistent pain? 
– Why do early life experiences affect later life pain? 
– And why do existing tools for measuring pain fall short? 

The interviews were recorded at the British Pain Society’s Annual Scientific Meeting, 2024.
