Researchers have shown in animal studies how receptors on nerve cells can become altered to produce chronic pain triggered by inflammation. They say that their findings could aid in developing new drugs to treat such chronic pain, which is distinct from the relatively short-lived pain from injury, which fades as the injury heals.
