Neural and Psychosocial Predictors of Pain Trajectories in Youth

Research project funded by NIAMS to study neural and psychosocial factors predicting pain persistence in youth, using a large sample and advanced analysis methods to inform interventions.

Description

This project aims to identify biopsychosocial predictors of pain persistence in a large community sample of youth, using neuroimaging and psychosocial measures to elucidate risk factors and inform intervention strategies. The study will identify subgroups of adolescents with distinct pain trajectories, examine brain predictors of pain, and determine modifiable psychosocial factors that influence pain outcomes. The goal is to provide clinically translatable insights for intervention and prevention of persistent pain in youth.
