Overview: Millions of people live with chronic pain – everyday life is difficult, treatment is unreliable and the economic impact is huge. So why is it still so poorly understood? And will there ever be a cure? Chronic pain is one of the great public health crises of our age – virtually nobody is untouched, either living with it themselves or witnessing the discomfort and struggles of loved ones. Yet it is a topic that remains in the shadows, too often brushed aside or treated as an afterthought. Chronic: Understanding Pain is an urgent and vital answer to this deafening silence. In this fascinating investigation, Gillian Best seeks out the scientists and clinicians carrying out the cutting-edge research that could be the key to finally understanding and effectively treating this mysterious and debilitating condition. Shining a light on the groundbreaking work being carried out around the world, Gillian searches for answers and wonders whether, one day, she may feel truly well again.
