I am a Rheumatologist with a clinical and research interest in musculoskeletal pain mechanisms. I use a combination of techniques, including neuroimaging and clinical pain quantification, to investigate pain related predictors of response to treatment in different forms of arthritis and fibromyalgia. My group is currently investigating the effectiveness of digital cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia in patients with fibromyalgia. This study is using online platforms to conduct questionnaire-based surveys and collect quantitative movement and cognitive learning data.
