Opioid Induced Hyperalgesia: The Role of Activated Glial Cells and Toll-like Receptors

Hear from Dr Stephanie Davies, A/Prof Curtin University School of Physiotherapy, Senior Lecturer UWA, School of Medicine & Pharmacology

Specialist at Fiona Stanley Hospital discuss in this first chapter:

1. Neurons and the Nervous System- what we‘ve been taught.

2. Amplifying alarm and housekeeping- the role of glia.

3. Opioid Induced Hyperalgesia.

4. Less negative impact with Atypical Opioids.
