A Future Without Chronic Pain

A Future Without Chronic Pain

Published Jun 27, 2012
by David Borsook, M.D., Ph.D.
Chronic pain affects 1.5 billion people worldwide, an estimated 100 million of whom live in the United States. Yet we currently have no effective treatment options.

Dr. David Borsook recommends steps to facilitate these new treatments, including the establishment of integrated clinical neuroscience centers bridging the gap between bench and bedside.
