This 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), provides $1,702,003.00 to develop and assess the clinical potential of quantitative imaging biomarkers for evaluating changes in myofiber microstructure associated with masticatory myofascial pain syndrome (MMPS). The key products and services to be delivered include: 1) Establishing an optimal 15-minute MRI protocol and...
This $4.7 million project grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke will support the development of electrophysiological and ultrasound quantitative biomarkers for myofascial pain syndrome. The grant to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center will establish the use of electrical impedance myography, myofiber threshold tracking excitability testing, and ultrasound shear wave elastography to assess differences between patients with active...
This federal Project Grant award of $2,935,084, provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), aims to develop diagnostic and prognostic ultrasound imaging biomarkers for plantar heel pain, a model of myofascial pain. The R61 phase of the project will use novel imaging techniques to create a diagnostic biosignature to objectively assess the location and severity of abnormal myofascial tissue. This will...
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 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $1,516,765 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to develop and validate an innovative near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technology for the quantitative assessment of pelvic floor muscle function in patients with myofascial pelvic pain (MPP). The research aims to establish NIRS as an effective, non-invasive,...
This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $351,097 was provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), which is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The grant was awarded under the NIH's Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to establish a rigorous and supportive interdisciplinary training program in clinical pain research at Mass General Brigham (MGB) in Boston. The program will support a diverse pool of 8 postdoctoral...
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded a $9,237,770 Project Grant under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to Washington University to conduct research on the integrated mechanisms, phenotypes, and translational underpinnings of chronic pain after surgery. The project aims to gain mechanistic insights into peripheral and central biological processes that contribute to chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) and understand how these...
This federal Project Grant award, totaling $2,884,007.00, was provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279). The purpose of the award is to conduct research investigating mechanisms of intra- and inter-individual pain variability in patients with comorbid chronic low back pain (CLBP) and major depressive disorder (MDD). The research will generate...
This $5,037,022 project grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke will support the development of novel single-cell technologies called "Raman2omics" to map pain-associated genes and cells across the lifespan. Funded under the Drug Abuse and Addiction Research Programs, the grant to the Massachusetts General Hospital aims to apply Raman2omics to systematically investigate genes and cells associated with postoperative pain...
This $242,061 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) establishes an interdisciplinary clinical pain research training program at Mass General Brigham (MGB) in Boston. The program will support 8-12 postdoctoral fellows over 5 years, providing protected research time and dedicated training to expand the pool of early-career investigators capable of launching successful clinical...

This federal Project Grant award of $2,280,771.00 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), aims to develop novel imaging biomarkers to diagnose and characterize myofascial trigger points in myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). The key objectives are to: (1) develop clinically-translatable PET and MRI imaging markers to reflect disease and pain mechanisms in MPS; (2) evaluate if the PET and MRI biomarkers can differentiate microstructural, compositional, functional, and metabolic changes in MPS patients versus healthy controls; and (3) evaluate the imaging approaches in a single-blind randomized clinical trial to assess treatment response. The award includes a sub-grant to New York University School of Medicine to support this research. The significance of this work is the development of objective diagnostic tools to enhance the understanding and treatment of MPS, a common and debilitating musculoskeletal pain condition.
