Research in the Athir Morad Lab primarily focuses on perioperative pain management for neurosur...gery patients. Our team has conducted two randomized controlled trials to assess the efficacy of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) following craniotomy. Our current research includes studies on the safety of opioid administration following craniotomy through the use of end-tidal CO2 detection, as well as research into the use of transcortical magnetic stimulation (TMS) for managing pain after spine surgery. view more

The Bradford Winters Lab conducts research on patient safety and quality of care. Our team focu...ses on the topics of patient care in the intensive care unit, evidence-based medicine, quality health care, and the measurement and evaluation of safety efforts. Currently our work involves evaluating pain management techniques in post-craniotomy patients, developing guidelines for policy development of patient safety initiatives and creating measures for rapid-response system outcomes. view more

The Constance Monitto Lab conducts clinical research on pediatric pain management as well as ba...sic science studies on chemotherapy resistance. In our pediatric pain management research, we work to assess the impact of low-dose opioid antagonism on opioid-related side effects, such as nausea and vomiting. We also analyze data on current methods of pediatric pain management in the United States. In addition, our team uses basic science studies to assess the success of epigenetic gene regulation on the development of resistance to chemotherapeutic agents in cancer. view more

The Jamie Murphy Lab conducts research on post-cesarean section pain management and post-partum... hemorrhage. We also explore topics around post-partum analgesia. view more

The Joanne Shay Lab primarily conducts research on pediatric pain management techniques. Our st...udies have explored pain management in special-needs children and patients, and we have studied non-traditional pain management methods, such as regional anesthesia and peripheral nerve blocks in children, medical acupuncture, and remote anesthesia services. We also have an ongoing interest in the business of medicine. view more

The Marie Hanna Lab conducts research on key topics within the field of anesthesiology. Our int...erests include both regional and obstetric anesthesia as well as patient-controlled analgesia, pain measurement, post-operative pain and acute pain management. Examples of our work include researching whether a surgery patient’s perception of pain control affects his or her satisfaction level and a comparison of air and liquid for use in the loss-of-resistance technique during labor epidurals. view more

Work in the Michael Erdek Lab explores interventional pain management and cancer pain managemen...t. Our studies focus on the assessment and interventional treatment of cancer-related pain and intrathecal therapy for spasticity resistant to management by oral medications. We also conduct research on the use of spinal cord stimulation as a treatment for neuropathic pain, refractory angina pectoris and refractory peripheral vascular disease. view more

Research in the M-Irfan Suleman Lab focuses on better understanding and controlling pediatric p...ain. We've played a key role in the discovery of novel techniques for post-surgical pain management in children. view more

Work in the Paul Jordan Christo Lab is focused on pain management in older adults, thoracic out...let syndrome therapies, spinal chord stimulation and the usage of online education modules for pain education. Recent research has investigated novel therapies for thoracic outlet syndrome (including the use of botulinum toxin), the sexual side effects of chronic opioid therapy and complex regional pain syndrome. view more

Researchers in the Robert Greenberg Lab examine anesthesiology and critical care-related topics... that include critical airway management, non-invasive fetal monitoring, neural blockade monitoring, pediatric acute pain management, cuffed oropharyngeal airway (COPA), pain informatics, and pediatric pain education and innovation. view more
