This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), is focused on developing novel methods for selectively stimulating nociceptors (pain receptors) and measuring the brain's nociceptive-specific response in both healthy individuals and those with the chronic pain condition fibromyalgia. The $2,314,276 award to Emory University will fund the creation of a new...
This $241,401 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to develop new in vitro models for studying the mechanisms of chronic pain and identifying potential treatment targets. The primary objectives are to: Engineer a physiologically relevant multi-compartment model of nociceptor hypersensitivity and validate its response to noxious stimuli. Establish a neuroimmune-specific model of nociceptor hypersensitization to test...
The University of Utah Office of Sponsored Projects Division was awarded a $423,500 Project Grant under the National Institutes of Health's "Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health" (CFDA 93.213) program. The grant will fund a two-arm, randomized, masked study investigating the effects of Swedish Massage Therapy (SMT) versus a Light Touch control on brain activity in subjects with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). The primary objectives are to identify brain...

This $4,572,599 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) aims to elucidate the neural mechanisms underlying the analgesic effects of colored light therapy for chronic musculoskeletal pain, including fibromyalgia. The key objectives are to: Identify and characterize the retinal ganglion cells that mediate color-light-driven analgesia and determine the optimal light...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), under the Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health program (CFDA 93.213), supports computational modeling research to understand how deep pressure touch is encoded by peripheral neural afferents. The $155,748 award to the Rector & Visitors of the University of Virginia aims to develop stimulus-response models of firing in mechanosensitive afferent subtypes to deep pressure touch, comparing model predictions to afferent firing data obtained via microneurography before and after soft tissue manipulation. The research seeks to uncover fundamental insights into human somatosensation and inform non-pharmaceutical treatment of musculoskeletal pain. The project will focus on recording from the peroneal nerve, which is relevant to conditions like shin splits, sprained ankles, and Achilles tendinosis that are commonly addressed via soft tissue manipulation.
