PAIN POINTS

Unravelling visceral pain pathways

With Dr Andrea Harrington

What is abnormal visceral pain and who experiences it? What are some of the effects of conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome and pelvic pain on a person’s quality of life?

Dr Andrea Harrington from the Flinders Health and Medical Research Institute explores the answers to these questions as she delves into the topic of visceral pain and the neural pathways that control how we detect and feel pain from our internal, visceral organs.
