It has been noted that various modalities in treatment provide limited relief across all these disorders. A cure for one of these disorders may result in a advances for the others. Chronic pain can strike suddenly at any age and end the hopes, dreams and careers of anyone. It manifests itself through cancer, diabetes, nerve injury from trauma(car accidents, falls), HIV neuropathy, multiple sclerosis(MS) and many other problems. It affects our friends, families and loved ones.
