Researchers Attempt to Find a Way to Block the Transmission of Pain Signals

Pain Management

Researchers at Murdoch University's Centre for Research on Chronic Pain and Inflammatory Diseases in Perth, Australia, will study how a chemical might be able to block the transmission of pain signals, according to a university news release. The chemical noradrenaline attaches itself to pain-causing nerves and increase after a persona has suffered nerve damage. Researchers will take a piece of skin from 200 sufferers of complex regional pain syndrome and study the way pain is experienced by the body. They will also test a cream they believe will reduce pain.
