Overview
About the course
Whether from the sharp bite of a stubbed toe, the dull throb of an aching muscle, or progressive disease discomfort, pain acts as a natural defense mechanism to protect both humans and animals. It is critical for survival.
Pain also serves as a warning against repetitive, harmful behaviors. It's a signal to seek attention and relief, since uncontrolled pain can have chronic and debilitating consequences. The The Neurobiology of Pain short course is offered through Stanford University - Summer Sessions.
