A new study has identified a new drug target that could change chronic pain medication going forward.
Chronic pain is "the most common cause of long-term disability," according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
In fact, a recent analysis from the NIH estimates that more than 25 million people in the United States (or over 11 percent of the country's adult population) live with chronic pain. This means that they have experienced pain every day for the past 3 months.
