Mechanisms underlying traumatic brain injury-induced pain and opioid seeking

In this talk I will review behavioral neuropathological outcomes of experimental traumatic brain injury, present data relating to post-injury pain and opioid seeking, and introduce a novel low level light therapy that impacts neuroinflammatory responses to attenuate brain injury-induced pain and opioid seeking
