About this listen

Pain. It comes in many forms: physical and emotional. But do we really understand it?

This episode will attempt to answer fundamental questions about what pain is, how it is experienced, and why it is such a critical aspect of human existence.

We speak with Prof Jeff Mogil to discuss sex differences in pain. His work has been influential in promoting the inclusion of both sexes in pain research, ensuring that treatments and pain management strategies are more effective for everyone. We are also joined by Steve Ruston, CEO of Persica, to discuss non-opioid intradiscal injection to treat chronic low back pain caused by bacterial infection.
