The physiological basis of motor adaptation in pain [ 2018 - 2020 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Siobhan Schabrun (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Thomas Graven-Nielsen

Brief description People in pain move differently, yet the physiological basis for altered movement in pain is poorly understood. This lack of understanding has led to treatments for persistent pain that target generic symptoms with limited effect. The current study is the first to examine how different aspects of the nervous system are altered in pain and how this relates to movement. This information will guide the development of new treatment strategies for persistent pain in future.
