Dr Mark Porter investigates health issues of the day.

The hope is that this understanding will lead to new treatments for pain, which could be either drugs or psychological. Mark also talks to doctors who are developing new ways of assessing how much pain babies are experiencing when they are ill or undergoing medical procedures.
