Dr. Stephen Wegener, Associate Professor of PM&R, has been awarded a RO1 research grant by the National Institutes of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Health for his project "Pain Management Following Musculoskeletal Injury". The study will evaluate the efficacy of a computer-based self-management intervention for reducing pain and improving function in persons with occupational musculoskeletal injuries. The investigation will also provide important information regarding patients’ acceptance and use of computer-based pain management interventions following acute injury. The project also involves collaborators from Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Dr. Jennifer Haythornthwaite, Public Health - Dr. Ellen Mackenzie and Occupational Health - Dr. Edward Bernacki.
