<p>In this Episode, as PAINSTORM celebrates four years of research into Neuropathic Pain, its causes, potential treatments and the differences which can be made for people living with this devastating condition, Fiona Talkington and Mark Smalley head to Berlin, for the international conference about Neuropathic Pain ‘NeuPSIG25’. They observe the PAINSTORM team in their global context and meet some of the international delegates, from well-known names in research to those just beginning their careers in pain research and management. There’s a note of hope for those living with Neuropathic Pain and a real energy in the importance of embracing the participation of patients. And we hear from some of PAINSTORM’s own team of Patient Partners who have played a key role in the project.<br> <br> <br> CONTRIBUTORS<br> Professor David Bennett, Oxford<br> <br> Dr Andreas Themistocleous, Oxford<br> <br> Lindsey Mumford, Oxford<br> <br> John Locke, Oxford<br> <br> Jo Josh, Patient Partner, PAINSTORM<br> <br> Gordon Liddle, PAINSTORM<br> <br> Katie Allen, Aberdeen<br> <br> Professor Lesley Colvin, Dundee<br> <br> Dr Ted Price, Dallas, Texas<br> <br> Professor Pat Dougherty, Houston, Texas<br> <br> Professor Andrew Rice, President IASP<br> <br> Dr Katie Holzer, St Louis, Missouri<br> <br> Simon Haroutunian<br> <br> And other delegates at NeuPSIG25, Berlin, September 2025</p><p> </p><p><br> <br> RESOURCES<br> https://neupsigcongress.org<br> https://www.iasp-pain.org/resources/living-with-pain/<br> https://www.painstorm.co.uk/home<br> </p>
