Pref ace The past decade has witnessed exciting advances in the basic research of pain and itch – both are our most basic yet still mysterious sensations. Clinically, the treat- ment of prolonged and intractable pain (chronic pain) and itch (pruritus) cost bil- lions of dollars every year worldwide while the results are often unsatisfying or accompanied with serious side effects. Despite the slow progress in drug discovery, scientists all over the world have recently acquired more insights into the mecha- nisms underlying pain and itch in both physiological and pathological conditions. The gaps between basic research and clinical application are eagerly waiting to be fi lled by translational research. T his book provides a comprehensive review of recent advances in the transla- tional research on pain and itch. The contributing authors are world-renowned sci- entists and have made important discoveries in the relevant fi eld of research. Their fi ndings not only shed light on the mechanisms but also pave the way for develop- ing novel strategies for the effective and safe treatment of chronic pain and pruritus. Hopefully not long from now, medical practitioners can be more confi dent and patients can be more optimistic when facing these annoying (and often terrible) conditions. W e sincerely appreciate all the contributing authors, our editorial team from the Joint Laboratory of Anesthesiology and Pain in Peking Union Medical College, and the Springer publisher. This book would not be possible without their time and effort.
