A Bristol professor will give a unique insight into the field of chronic pain at a free public lecture on 1 April.
David Wynick, Professor of Molecular Medicine at the University of Bristol and Consultant Physician in Diabetes and Endocrinology at the Bristol Royal Infirmary (BRI), will describe how his work may help doctors provide better treatments in the future for neuropathic pain.
This type of pain is caused by damage or injury to the nerves that transmit pain signals to the brain. Such pain is common in people who have diabetes or are receiving chemotherapy treatment for cancer. It affects around eight per cent of people in the western world, placing an enormous emotional and financial burden on patients, carers and society.
