New Approaches to Treating Chronic Pain: Targeting Central Sensitization
(VTC)
Robert Gereau, PhD
Professor of Anesthesiology, Anatomy and Neurobiology
Chief, Basic Science Division
Washington University Pain Center
St. Louis, Missouri
A public lecture in the Distinguished Visiting Scholars Series
Chronic pain conditions are largely unresponsive to treatments that are highly effective for acute pain conditions. Advances in pain science have led to the understanding that chronic pain conditions involve long-lasting changes in the way the brain processes sensory information. Dr. Gereau will discuss these changes and how they might be targeted with new types of therapies to provide effective relief for patients suffering from chronic pain.
