Areas of interest

Predictive Assessment: Investigating how psychosensory and neurological assessment tools can be applied to predicting treatment and pain outcomes following clinical intervention. These are currently in development alongside the GENESIS project (prior to embolisation of the knee for osteoarthritis treatment), Long COVID-induced chronic pain and the surgical treatment of uterine fibroids.

Women's Health & Pain: Applying empirical approaches and PPI co-designing methodologies to improving our approaches for gynaecological procedures and symptoms.

Neuroinflammation: Applying novel magnetic resonance spectroscopy assessment for the acquisition of in-vivo estimates of neuroinflammation. This is being applied to understanding the progression of chronic pain alongside osteoarthritis and Long COVID.

Philosophical Underpinnings: Attempting to quantify the extent to which an individual views pain as being a property of the mind or body, and validating a questionnaire for the purposes of treatment stratification for pain management.

Acute Pain Mechanisms: Understanding about the complex individual differences which underlying pain and pain modulation, to gain a better understanding of how these individual differences could inform the development of chronic pain. This work consists of a variety of separate domains:

1. How people adapt to painful stimulation over a long-time period, and their propensity to habituate or sensitise to pain
2. Examining pain and motivational behaviour when people lose control over their ability to manage or reduce pain
3. How the analgesic properties of expressive swearing engage mechanistically, why is it we swear when we stub our toes?
4. How dietary interventions may facilitate improved pain modulation, and the relationship with excitatory-inhibitory neurochemical balances in the brain
