Pain
Pain is defined as a sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage(1). As we increasingly understand more about pain and the multiple factors that influence it we also understand the many different ways in which we might aim to change the experience of pain.
Our cross-disciplinary research seeks to understand and address pain at every stage – from basic mechanisms to application in clinical practice and wider cultural influences.
