Wound care practice continuously demonstrates that healing cannot be adequately controlled if a patient's experience of pain is not managed effectively.

This article investigates how polymeric membrane dressings can interact with the pathology of wounds to correct abnormalities in pain pathways of the nervous system and dampen problematic ongoing pain to enhance the clinical picture of wound healing.
