Gene variation affects pain sensitivity and risk of chronic pain
Gene variation affects pain sensitivity and risk of chronic pain
Finding may lead to new treatments A new NIH-funded study shows that a specific gene variant in humans affects both sensitivity to short-term (acute) pain in healthy volunteers and the risk of developing chronic pain after one kind of back surgery.
