Mind The Gap study with CPNN+ & NIHR Exeter Biomedical Research Centre (BRC)
Mind The Gap: Steps towards precision rehabilitation in chronic pain
Our P.I (Prof. Ben Seymour) and one of our co-investigators (Dr. Sam Hughes) have collaborated with Dr. Will Young (Project Lead), Dr. Gavin Buckingham & Dr. Sonia Medina – Hernandez (Translational Fellowship) on a new study using VR technology to understand the neurobiological mechanisms of chronic pain to develop effective treatments.
The team hope to improve our understanding of the brain’s role in chronic lower back pain (CLBP) and develop a new method to measure changes in symptoms and underlying causes after treatments. For more information, please visit https://www.exeterbrc.nihr.ac.uk/research-projects/mind-the-gap/
