The findings not only offer new possibilities for chronic pain patients, but also provide valuable insights for the future treatment of cancer and asthma. The scientist explained that his investigations into the molecular causes of pain perception were initially based on pure curiosity, without knowing whether they would ultimately lead to useful findings.

The two researchers, who worked independently of each other, were jointly awarded a Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2021. The prize money of around 1.1 million US dollars will be split between them.
