Exploring new ways to treat chronic pain through mentorship and patient-oriented research.
Patient Oriented Research and Mentoring in Multidisciplinary Chronic Pain Treatments
This study is all about helping doctors who treat chronic pain learn new ways to help their patients feel better, while also training the next group of researchers to keep improving treatments for people dealing with pain and fatigue.

What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing patient-oriented research (POR) in chronic pain treatments by developing midcareer clinician-scientists who can mentor the next generation of researchers. The project aims to provide dedicated time for the principal investigator to expand her research in complementary and integrative medicine, particularly for patients suffering from chronic pain and fatigue. By fostering a robust mentorship environment, the research seeks to improve treatment approaches and outcomes for patients. The study will involve collaboration with trainees and the application of innovative treatment methods.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are adults over 21 years old experiencing chronic pain or related symptoms.
Not a fit: Patients with acute pain conditions or those under 21 years old may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved chronic pain management strategies that incorporate complementary and integrative medicine.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in enhancing patient outcomes through mentorship and innovative treatment approaches in chronic pain management.
