Our Research Approach

At the Chronic Pain and Fatigue Research Center, our research covers a broad spectrum of study designs to deepen clinical understanding and improve patient care. Our work includes:

• Retrospective Studies: Leveraging existing data sources like electronic health records and administrative databases to uncover new insights.
• Prospective Observational Studies: Recruiting participants for surveys, patient registries, and real-world investigations to track symptoms and outcomes over time.
• Clinical Trials: Leading innovative trials to evaluate promising therapies and interventions for pain and fatigue.
• Methods Development: Creating and validating new tools and approaches that push both research and clinical practice forward.
• Publicly Engaged Research Core: Actively involving patients, families, and communities in the research process to ensure our work addresses real-world needs and priorities.

Through this comprehensive approach, we are committed to advancing the science of chronic pain and fatigue and bringing meaningful improvements to clinical care.
