The latest research into the causes of pain is revealed in this documentary. We meet people who don't feel pain, and people who have chronic pain. Mutation in the SCN9A gene is responsible for people who do not experience pain. However people who have chronic pain may have been premature babies, or their brains may have faulty wiring after a stroke for instance. We see the link between moods and emotions and pain, and also some new pain treatment that works.
