Abstract
This invention provides a method of alleviating chronic pain in humans. Viable, implantable cells are selected which release neuroactive substances that reduce chronic pain. The cells are cultured to improve their viability, and administered into a region of the central nervous system of a patient who is suffering from chronic pain. The cells continue to secrete the neuroactive substances within the patient without exogenous stimulation. Suitable implantable cells include adrenal medullary tissue cells, chromaffin cells or genetically engineered cells.
