11. Neuroscience and Pain

Around the world, 1 in 5 people are experiencing pain, and in the UK over 34% of adults regularly experience chronic pain. In the last decade, our understanding and knowledge in this area has increased exponentially, with academic research contributing to the search for treatments.

The University of Liverpool have recently launched a world leading hub - the Liverpool Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Centre (LINC) - and new research developments in Neuroscience and Pain from LINC , could help reshape how we think about prevention and treatment for millions worldwide.

Host Gavin Freeborn is joined in the studio by Professor Benedict Michael, Director of the Liverpool Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Centre, and Professor Michelle Briggs, Clinical Professor of Nursing and part of the Pain Research Institute, to discuss our understanding of Pain, and how research could drive change for people around the world.
