Research that can lead to new treatments for chronic pain

We humans have gotten hurt, been in pain and suffered since time immemorial. But to this day we still don't really know how pain works in our bodies. To map the pathways of pain inside us - and help cure everything from chronic pain to headaches - Håkan Olausson's team at Linköping University is measuring different pain impulses. Olausson and his research team has discovered that pain signals travels much faster than previous known and that pain fibers are everywhere in the body.

Solving chronic pain is obviously a good idea but we should keep in mind that pain is an important indicator something is wrong and not every pain should be treated with medication
I often experience back pain because of my job, but I find that taking long walks usually fixes it, so I never have to take painkillers.
