Description
Chronic pain initially presents itself acutely without indication that it will persist; making it difficult to catch before it develops and equally difficult to treat. Interestingly, the brain regions involved in acute vs. chronic pain differ. The regions involved in acute pain are primarily sensory, while chronic pain presents itself in regions of emotion. Our research aims to examine this transition from acute to chronic pain in an attempt to pinpoint where and why the shift occurs in order to better manage it.
