The Neurosurgery Pain Research Institute was created to investigate controlling, preventing and eliminating neurosurgically related pain. There is a tremendous need to establish a scientific rationale for improving the understanding of chronic pain, and devising new approaches to alleviating and preventing it.
This Institute will perform basic scientific and clinical research into the mechanisms of different human chronic pain states as a basis for rational treatment of chronic pain. Our research is focused on neurological diseases that trigger pain and pain as a result of neurosurgical procedures.
In the News: Michael Caterina, M.D., along with Thomas J. Smith, M.D. and their colleagues, received a significant grant from the Lerner Family Fund for Pain Research to further their research. Read more.
Sponsored by BrainFacts.org in partnership with the American Brain Coalition, this free webinar explores the science behind acute and chronic pain. Neuroscientists, clinicians and patient advocates discuss the nervous system mechanisms that underlie pain, approaches to developing new pain therapies, the human and economic impact of pain and the federal investment in pain research.
