Course Description:
Pain is a normal, protective, and essential part of the human experience. However, pathological and chronic pain conditions can greatly diminish one's quality of life. In this course, students will explore the anatomy, physiology, psychology, and molecular underpinnings of nociception and pain. Chronic medical conditions resulting in too much (e.g. fibromyalgia, IBS, phantom limb pain, erythromelalgia) or too little (congenital insensitivity to pain) pain will be discussed along with their potential pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments and emerging therapies. |
