Abstract
Our author has adapted a chapter from his forthcoming book, Chasing Men on Fire: The Story of the Search for a Pain Gene, to provide the fascinating tale of how he and his research team discovered a gene for pain. As he writes, "as exhilarating as it was to indict Nav1.7 as a major player in pain, that was just the beginning of a longer story. That story may change the way we treat pain.".
