Can We Talk About Pain?
We flinch in anticipation —
a squint, a grimace, a breath held tight.
Sudden or slow.
Lingering or fleeting.
Pain is the body’s Red Alert —
shaping how we move, live and heal.
More than sensation,
pain is a memory, biology, psychology.
The Summer 2025 issue of UofT Med Magazine invites readers to explore the many dimensions of pain — how we feel it, fight it, and begin to understand it. And how science is bringing us closer to lasting relief.
📰 Explore the issue: From personal stories to innovative research, the magazine explores how pain is being redefined, understood, and more effectively treated.
