By Massachusetts General Hospital on
A new study from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) investigators has
found, for the first time, evidence of neuroinflammation in key regions
of the
brains of patients with chronic pain. By showing that levels of
an inflammation-
linked protein are elevated in regions known to be
involved in the transmission
of pain, the study published online in the
journalBrain paves the way for the
exploration of potential new
treatment strategies and identifies a possible way
around one of the
most frustrating limitations in the study and treatment of
chronic pain –
the lack of an objective way to measure the presence or intensity
of
pain.
