This project will organize and share data so researchers can find signals that show which people with recent acute pain may develop long-term chronic pain.

What this research studies
This center at Johns Hopkins brings together clinical teams, labs, and data specialists to collect and standardize information—like symptoms, imaging, and biological samples—from people with recent acute pain. It manages enrollment tracking, data quality checks, secure data deposition, and coordinates meetings so multiple sites work together smoothly. The Administrative Core handles budgets, staffing, scheduling, and communication between the clinical centers, omics labs, and NIH. By linking different kinds of patient data across sites, the center aims to create a shared resource for researchers seeking markers that predict chronic pain.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates would be people with recent acute pain (for example after injury or surgery) who can enroll at one of the program's participating clinical centers and provide clinical information and biological samples.
Not a fit: People without a recent acute pain episode, those whose pain has been chronic for a long time, or those unable to access participating clinical sites may not directly benefit from this project.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could help researchers discover early biological or clinical markers that lead to earlier, more targeted treatments to prevent chronic pain.
How similar studies have performed: Combining clinical data, imaging, and biological samples across sites has produced promising leads, but large-scale multisite biosignature programs like this are relatively new and still maturing.
