Justin Durham leads the orofacial pain research group at Newcastle. Their work is multifaceted and has been/is funded by most major funders including NIHR, Wellcome and MRC. The group seeks to examine the complexity of pain processing, including underlying mechanism of acute pain, for example instantaneous fast pain when you have a cold drink on a “sensitive tooth”, persistent pain that persists following treatment of the identified cause and the transition from acute to persistent pain.
