Millions of people live with chronic pain - everyday life is difficult and treatment is unreliable. 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 no-one is untouched, either living with it themselves or seeing their loved ones suffer. 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 silence.
In this fascinating investigation, Gillian Best seeks out researchers carrying out the cutting-edge work that could be the key to finally understanding and effectively treating this debilitating condition. Shining a light on the groundbreaking investigations being carried out around the world, Gillian searches for answers and wonders whether, one day, she may feel truly well again.
