Project description
Identifying molecular mechanisms of pain related disorders
Chronic pain patients tend to suffer from numerous comorbid conditions including anxiety, depression, fatigue, cardiovascular diseases and premature mortality. The full extent of this clustering of diseases, and the mechanisms that cause it, remains to be identified. By analysing patient data of an entire country, EU-funded PainFACT aims to characterise clusters of medical conditions associated with chronic pain. Using state-of-the-art genomic, proteomic, and brain imaging data from humans and mice, PainFACT will identify molecular mechanisms and develop predictive algorithms for new-onset chronic pain and pain related comorbidity. Project results are expected to have major impact on the diagnostic classification of pain, early identification of patients at risk of multimorbidity, and the identification of treatment targets for development of new medicines.
