We have a number of research studies being conducted and we always need the help of both individuals with chronic pain, and individuals without chronic pain. The studies we are currently conducting are summarized in the table below.

Low-Dose Naltrexone for CRPS
Patients with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) or Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD)
Study procedures and treatment are at no cost and participants may receive compensation for participation
TMS for CRPS
Stanford Systems and Neuroscience Pain Laboratory (SNAPL) has just launched a new study to test 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).
EMPOWER
The EMPOWER Study utilizes proven methods to deliver optimal patient care. It is a multi-state project funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI). We are comparing ways to help patients who take prescription opioids for chronic pain reduce their health risks without increasing their pain!
MAP-Pain : Mood and Postoperative Pain
The Mood and Postoperative Pain Study (MAP-Pain) is a large research study of patients undergoing surgery. This trial follows patients throughout their recovery process comparing an intervention with enhanced usual care. This is a randomized, controlled trial – this means that some patients will receive the study intervention and other patients will receive usual care. Funding for this study is provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Pain and Decision Making
Participants needed for pain and decision-making study.
Seeking individuals to participate in a single-session behavioral study that will help us understand the relationship between pain and decision-making.
