Symptom Management Research
At the U-M Medical School Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, we focus on monitoring, preventing and managing symptoms and secondary conditions associated with disabling conditions. Our research focuses on monitoring symptoms and secondary conditions of disabling conditions often in real-world settings such as the home and community, as well as the clinic setting.
Discover how our approaches are enhancing the quality of life for individuals with disabling conditions.
