Chronic pain affects 1 in 5 people, yet for many, existing treatments provide little or no lasting relief.
At the Pain Management Research Institute (PMRI), the Aubrey Laboratory, Royal North Shore Hospital, is taking a different approach: going deeper into the science of chronic pain to understand what changes in the brain and nervous system when pain becomes persistent.
???? Why does pain continue long after an injury has healed?
???? How do the brain circuits involved in pain and anxiety interact?
???? Can we restore the brain’s natural ability to reduce pain?
We’ve seen in cancer research how fundamental discoveries can transform treatment, from understanding how cancer interacts with the immune system to developing life-changing immunotherapies.
Chronic pain needs the same kind of breakthrough thinking.
Discovery research is the first step towards finding new treatment targets and, ultimately, giving people living with chronic pain more effective, personalised and longer-lasting options.
Your support can help make that research possible.
