摘要

P ain—“ it hurts ”—is experienced at some time or another by almost every human being. When pain is transient, it can protect us, warning us to withdraw from a threatening situation. But pain is not always helpful: if it persists when a noxious stimulus is no longer there, it can invade and change a life. This occurs, for example, in people with neuropathic pain due to traumatic nerve injury, peripheral neuropathies associated with diabetes or chemotherapy, and post-herpetic neuralgia. Chronic pain affects more patients than cancer, heart disease, and diabetes combined.SUP1/SUP And it is often unrelieved or only partially relieved by existing medications, whose side-effects may include double-vision, confusion, sleepiness, or gastrointestinal dysfunction. Some of these drugs can be addictive. There is a clear need for more effective pain medications without these drawbacks.
