Knowledge translation goals

Our research will: (1) help in understanding the physiological basis of a number of unexplained chronic pain conditions;听(2) provide new therapies for chronic and acute pain conditions;听(3) provide novel animal models for pain conditions such as neuropathic pain, migraines, complex regional pain syndrome, functional abdominal pain, interstitial cystitis, back pain, fibromyalgia, and vulvodynia;听(4) help explain the influence of genetic, environmental, and dietary factors in the development of chronic pain;听and (5) understand the influence of psychological factors on pain.
