We have a number of research studies that are enrolling participants both with and without chronic pain. You can learn more about each study below. Click on the project link for a more detailed description of each study and to find out if you may be eligible to participate.
EMPOWER
- For people with chronic pain who are taking prescription opioids
The Effective Management of Pain and Opioid-Free Ways to Enhance Relief (EMPOWER) Study utilizes proven methods to deliver optimal patient care. We are comparing ways to help patients who take prescription opioids for chronic pain reduce their health risks without increasing their pain!
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
- For people with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) or Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD)
This study tests if Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, can reduce pain related to Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) or Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD)
PET-MRI Scan for Chronic Lower Back Pain
- For people with chronic lower back pain
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of chronic low back pain and pain medication on the brain. Participants will undergo neuropsychological testing, neurosensory testing, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or positron emission tomography (PET) and complete surveys.
Low-Dose Naltrexone for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
- For people with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) or Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD)
This will be the first official study of the effectiveness of Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for CRPS. All participants will be given the opportunity to receive LDN treatment at no cost.
