Treating Chronic Pain after Spinal Cord Injury

Abstract

This project will foster work in a new direction in spinal cord injury research while addressing a neglected issue that extracts an enormous human toll from our injured soldiers and veterans: chronic pain. Successful completion of this research program will add to our basic knowledge of cellular and molecular causes of pain, and could lead to the clinical implementation of an innovative new therapy for chronic pain based on the powerful biology of stem cells.
