NIH research program to explore the transition from acute to chronic pain | News Releases for National Institutes of Health (NIH). | 28 August 2018
‘The National Institutes of Health has launched the Acute to Chronic Pain Signatures (A2CPS) program to investigate the biological characteristics underlying the transition from acute to chronic pain. The effort will also seek to determine the mechanisms that make some people susceptible and others resilient to the development of chronic pain’
