title: The neurophysiology of pain.
abstract: Elucidating the details of the changes of neural function associated with chronic pain would do more than expand our knowledge of the neurophysiology of pain. It would also help us understand the relationship of nociception to pain both in normal and pathologic conditions. Perhaps most important, it would help us more intelligently to develop treatments to reverse these pathologic changes and thus treat chronic pain more effectively.
