What is pain? Where does it start and end? In the mind, nerve endings, or somewhere else? In this final episode of the first season of Invent: Health from TTP, we’ll be exploring the many and varied facets of this most essential of human experiences. Speaking with specialists in the fields of psychology and neuroscience, we’ll find out what is being done to measure pain, to mitigate its severity and what the future of pain relief looks like, to see if people involved in healthcare and drug delivery should be giving pain more attention in their work.
