Chronic pains are those that continue for more than 6 months. Many persons know this phenomen from personal experiences. Interesting is that it's so important that damages economies of entire countries which citizens do not work and use the resources of the country to cure chronic pains. Imagine that the negative profit caused to the finances by chronic pains is bigger than it's of oncological, cardiovascular and immunity deseases together.
This is the reason why the governments are interested in researches that could eliminate this problem.
Canadian researchers discovered the "root" of the chronic pains. It's the memory. Every pain that lasts for more than some minutes remains in the memory of the body thanks to a substance that remains in the nerves of the place where the pain was. This substance is proteinkinasa PKMzeta (hope, I spell the word right).
The researchers discovered that it's possible to block this substance with drugs. That allows to "cancell" the memory of the pain.
Maybe we will forget about the chronic pains in the next future...
