Touch and Pain Just Got a New Map, And It Explains RAPID Better Than Ever

In case you haven’t seen it already, the 2026 Brain Prize was awarded to David Ginty and Patrik Ernfors for helping uncover the cellular architecture of touch and pain.

What they helped show is that touch and pain are not one big generic system. They’re carried by different kinds of sensory neurons with different jobs, different endings, and different pathways into the spinal cord and brain. In other words, the body is not just feeling “pressure.” It’s processing very specific kinds of input in very specific ways.

What makes this Brain Prize work so exciting is that it helps explain something we’ve believed in RAPID from the beginning—-

not all input is the same.

These researchers helped uncover the cellular architecture of touch and pain, showing that different sensory neurons have different jobs, different endings, and different pathways into the spinal cord and brain.

Clinically, that matters.

Especially with chronic pain.

Because chronic pain is often not just about damaged tissue -it’s about a system that has become more reactive, more protective, and more efficient at producing pain.

That means the quality of the input we give matters.

A broad, generic pressure into tissue is not the same as a precise, high-salience input into a meaningful receptor-rich interface.

The nervous system may respond to those very differently.

That fits RAPID beautifully.

We’ve never believed we were chasing muscles or breaking up scar tissue. We’ve always believed in targeting specific high-yield structures and looking for meaningful change in pain, movement, and function.

This research doesn’t “prove RAPID,” but it does give us better science for understanding why precision matters so much clinically.

The better we understand touch and pain, the better we understand why the right input, in the right place, can change everything.

Sad news, but a new beginning ☺️

No anti-inflammatories! No advil, no ibuprofen, no naproxen, no ice!
We are Canadian 🇨🇦, ice is for skating on 😂

Don’t do it, don’t suggest it.

Do educate your clients on the potential harms, and tell them to move their bodies for the most efficient relief.

“Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most widely used analgesics to treat inflammatory pain. Despite their efficacy, recent studies show that NSAID use in early acute pain can prolong pain and inflammation and delay their resolution. We suggest using analgesics without inflammation-related properties in early acute pain instead of NSAIDs.”
