Pain: A Way of Life

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Presented by Barbara Myers
For thousands of people in Britain, unremitting pain is a way of life: the pain alone will not kill them. but it does make life burdensome for the sufferers and their families. Can medicine do anything to alleviate these agonies?
In the past few years, 30 or so pain clinics have been opened in this country and it is to these that the victims of chronic pain are sent as a last resort.
BARBARA MYERS finds out what treatments these clinics have currently to offer and also what they might in the future have to offer when new techniques being developed by the pain researchers become clinical tools. Producer DAVID PATERSON (Rev repeat: Friday 11.5 am)
