Congratulations to Dr. Gwendolyn Sowa and Dr. Nam Vo on their UC2 grant, “Whole person experience of pain: Novel integration with low back pain phenotypes”, which was recently funded for $20 million by NIAMS and NINDS.
This project builds on the NIH HEAL Initiative and their original U19 study, focusing on capturing biomechanical, biological, and behavioral phenotypes of low back pain to better understand the whole-person experience of chronic pain.
The insights gained from this multicenter, collaborative effort will enable the development of personalized, effective, non-addictive pain treatments.
