Lyme disease is an emerging tick-borne infectious disease. It is a multisystem disorder associated with several symptoms including pain, fatigue, depression, and cognitive impairments. Importantly, there can be differences in clinical symptoms, particularly with regard to pain. For some patients, initial pain symptoms resolve early, but for others, chronic pain develops.
In order to understand why some patients develop chronic pain and others do not, we are currently recruiting adults with chronic Lyme disease to participate in a research study investigating the central mechanisms of pain using sensory testing and brain imaging (MRI). If you have been diagnosed with Lyme disease for at least one year, please complete a brief survey by clicking on the "Lyme Survey" link under the For More Information section below.
If you have trouble accessing the link, please email desouzad@stanford.edu or call 650-497-5704 and we will be happy to assist.
