An integrated, multi-system approach to understanding persistent pain [ 2016 - 2019 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Siobhan Schabrun (Principal investigator)

Brief description Musculoskeletal pain is a major health problem in Australia, with an economic burden second only to cancer. Despite the scale of the problem, there are few effective treatments. This project examines a range of biological mechanisms that could explain why some people get better over time while others experiencing pain do not. The findings of this research will contribute to the development of new treatments that can be targeted to each individual to improve pain and disability.
