Paul Evans meets Edith Mowatt who has nerve root pain and hears how she has learned to manage her condition and about her experience of spinal cord stimulation. We hear a doctor\\u2019s view on these machines from Dr Steve Gilbert, and how they can also be used to treat complex regional pain syndrome. Dr Candy McCabe tells us more about this condition, as well as the use of mirrors in therapy for phantom limb pains.
\\n
\\n\\n
\\n
Finally, Professor Mark Blagrove and Dr Nicole Tang explain how pain affects sleep, and how a good night\\u2019s rest with the help of cognitive behavioural therapy can ease pain symptoms.
