Scientists have isolated a gene that seems to work as a volume knob for pain. Could this lead to new therapies and treatments to help millions of Americans who currently manage their days amidst chronic pain?
Wired takes a deep dive into this discovery and its possible implications. You can check out the article here.
According to the National Institutes of Health, more than one in 10 American adults (that’s more than 25 million people) say that some part of their body hurts some or all of the time.
The Wired article reports that more people than ever before are having trouble walking a quarter mile, climbing stairs, contributing at work and spending time with friends.
While science speeds ahead to solve for chronic pain, what can your organization be doing to counter this pervasive problem? Pain can wreak havoc on a person’s daily life, but healthy habits can lessen the impact pain has on a person’s physical, emotional, social and financial wellbeing.
