Tinnitus and Pain, One and the Same? - Prof. Peter McNaughton

  • Sumário

  • Are tinnitus and chronic pain alike? Very much so, believes pain researcher Prof. Peter McNaughton from King’s College London. He discovered a drug that works through ion channels on both chronic pain and tinnitus.

    Peter also talks about his rather controversial belief that tinnitus is a peripheral rather than central phenomenon, meaning that it originates in the ear and/or other outer areas of the nervous system, rather than in the brain. If he is right, this would open up new avenues for treatment.
