4. 17. Experimental nerve injury : induced pain : mechanisms and modulation

   Author : Johan Wallin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Chronic nerve injury-induced pain presents a therapeutic challenge since such pain is often resistant to conventional analgesic drugs including opioids. Better knowledge of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying nerve injuryinduced pain is necessary to develop new and more efficacious therapies. READ MORE
