Pain is the constant companion of a growing number of Americans - aches and pains, gnawing pain, agonizing chronic pain, headaches, backaches, pain traceable to an injury or to something gone awry in the central nervous system. Pain can disrupt lifestyles, reduce productivity on the job, and drain the household budget. This program looks at what we are doing about pain, besides taking aspirin. Some doctors continue to brush it off, while others are staffing Pain Centers. The program also shows research on the nature of pain and its treatment, as well as such old (and still effective) standbys as massage.
