This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $656,000.00 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco to conduct research on pain management in the elderly. The project aims to investigate whether "hyperalgesic priming" - a form of neuroplasticity that increases pain sensitivity - contributes to the high incidence of chronic pain in older adults. Key objectives include: Establishing whether aged rats exhibit...

This Project Grant award, valued at $1,365,011 and issued by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research), is funding a clinical trial to investigate the mechanisms of mindfulness meditation (MM) and self-hypnosis (HYP) for treating chronic pain in older adults. The study aims to use neuroimaging (fMRI and EEG) to determine the neuromodulatory mechanisms underlying the pain-relieving effects of these non-pharmacological interventions, as well as identify patient characteristics that predict treatment response. The 5-year award will enroll 375 participants aged 60 and older with chronic pain to undergo four 20-minute MM, HYP, or attention control sessions over four consecutive days. The primary outcome is change in chronic pain intensity from pre- to post-training. The University of Washington is the prime awardee, and they have subcontracted with the University of Queensland in Australia to provide specialized research services for the project.
