Brief description Muscle pain is a common and poorly treated health problem for many Australians. This project examines the properties of nerves that sense muscle pain and looks at how these change during inflammation, a common cause of muscle pain. We are looking specifically at jaw muscles, which are one of the most common sites of chronic muscle pain. By understanding how muscle nerves are changed by injury, we hope to be able to develop treatments to prevent or reverse these changes.
