New treatments for pain, sexual violence prevention and TB funded
The ‘silent epidemic’ of chronic pain is the focus of University of Auckland research awarded $500,000 in funding over four years from the Health Research Council of New Zealand which is also funding a study on sexual violence prevention and tuberculosis (TB).
School of Biological Sciences Research Fellow Christopher Walker says daily, unrelenting pain is an intolerable burden for many New Zealanders who suffer from a range of diseases such as arthritis, migraine and chronic lower back or hip pain.
