Chronic pain such as neuropathic pain, osteoarthritic pain, or abnormal pain associated with neurological diseases represents a debilitating condition which strongly affects the quality of life of patients. The mechanisms at the basis of the induction and maintenance of chronic pain are still poorly understood. Thus, an appropriate therapy for chronic pain is not yet available and there are many failures in treatments.
