Their research puts into question conventional practices used to alleviate pain. Normal recovery from a painful injury involves inflammation and blocking that inflammation with drugs could lead to harder-to-treat pain.</p> Wed, 11 May 2022 18:31:31 +0000 webfull 180119 at /channels /channels/channels/event/mcgill-cares-webcast-recognizing-when-coping-mechanisms-become-addictions-327610 <p>Join us on<strong>聽January 20, 2021 at noon</strong>聽for the next webcast in our biweekly series,聽<a href="//www.mcgill.ca/medsimcentre/community-outreach/dementia/mcgill-cares-webcasts"><em><strong>平特五不中 Cares</strong></em></a>, designed to supp</p> Tue, 12 Jan 2021 19:12:17 +0000 webfull 166804 at /channels /channels/news/american-placebo-255973 <p>A new study finds that rising placebo responses may play a part in the increasingly high failure rate for clinical trials of drugs designed to control chronic pain caused by nerve damage.

The disease affects about 1 in 2000 Canadians, particularly women. Previous research has suggested that lupus patients have an increased risk of developing cancer, particularly lymphoma. 聽Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that occurs when cells called lymphocytes, which usually help protect the body from infection and disease, begin growing and multiplying uncontrollably leading to tumor growth.
