Funded Activity Summary

Chronic neck pain is the equal leading cause of disability worldwide. Guided by largely disproven structural pathology paradigms, treatment resources are directed to ‘fix’ musculoskeletal abnormalities, with at best small effects. Brain-imaging studies suggest that brain (rather than neck tissue) changes, may instead maintain pain. My research will test new brain-based treatments: The Tactile Training Device, and MoOVi Illusory Exercise Program and their effects on pain, disability and brain.
