Chronic pain affects one in five adults. It is not only a major cause of disability for individual patients but also a driver of costs for entire healthcare systems. Treatment of pain remains a challenge, and the use of opioids has further led to a concurrent opioid epidemic.

In addition, we review ongoing research in different areas that will potentially unlock new therapies.
