Text of Note

For those of us involved in research on the neural mechanisms that relate tissue damage to pain. The aim of this book is not to deal with acute pain that serves as an alarm signal, but to attempt to explain the molecular mechanisms of chronic pains considered as a multifactorial syndrome or disease.
