Brain and Eye Pain Imaging Lab

The Brain and Eye Pain Imaging Lab investigates nociceptive processing in the human central nervous system, particularly as it relates to oculofacial pain and related disorders. We combine functional and structural neuroimaging techniques, including functional MRI and corneal microscopy, to address translational topics related to pain in patients and volunteers.

Pediatric Pain Pathway Lab

The Pediatric Pain Pathway Lab is a pediatric pain lab at Boston Children’s Hospital focused on defining targets for pain rehabilitation and novel methods of returning kids back to play. We use a number of techniques including magnetic resonance imaging, quantitative sensory testing, electromyography, electroencephalography, and funtional near infrared spectroscopy with special interests in headache, neuropathic pain, and women’s health. Our goal is to use machine learning, brain imaging, and physical activity to understand how to diagnose and treat pediatric pain conditions.
