In Episode 1 of Beyond the Ache, Prof. Dr. Heike Rittner, Professor and Head of the Center for Interdisciplinary Pain Research at University Hospital Würzburg, explains why pain is experienced differently, how chronic pain changes the brain, and what current research reveals about the future of pain management. Learn how the body's warning system can remain active long after an injury has healed, why chronic pain might be invisible while the brain remains in constant alarm mode, and how new discoveries at the molecular level could shape future approaches to pain care.
