About
Most of us have experienced some kind of pain in our lives before. But, have you ever wondered why you are feeling that pain? Why is it that shaking your hand after you touched a hot surface reduces the amount of pain that you perceive? Can your expectations about the effectiveness of a pain treatment really relieve your pain? I will answer those and so many more interesting questions about the field of pain on this website. I founded Pain: A Neuroscience Perspective to share my passion for the field of neuroscience and pain research with you. The field of pain is absolutely fascinating, and I hope this website can show you that.
