Our vision:
The research group Pain and Motor System Plasticity strives to gain a better understanding of the pain system and the involved neuroplasticity. We work with both healthy and patient populations with the aim of contributing to improve the quality of life for the people suffering from pain.
Our approach:
We do this by investigating fundamentals of the pain system, its neuroplasticity and interactions with the motor system through a multidisciplinary research approach, based on a translational strategy from basic experimental knowledge (provoking, probing, modulation, inhibition/facilitation), through clinical models (e.g. osteoarthritis, myofascial pain, work-related myalgia) to clinical screening (e.g. drug screening) and treatment.
We aim to:
- Develop new technologies to measure and explore how we perceive, respond and recover from persistent pain and injury
- Develop models reflecting mechanisms in persistent pain – provoking, probing and modulating pain neuroplasticity
- Identify pain and/or inflammatory mechanisms which are associated to pain and to target these mechanisms
- Identify pain-motor system interactions as well as motor-system behaviour preceding pain involvement
Our core competences:
- Technologies for pain and neuroplasticity induction (provocation) and modulation
- Quantitative protocols and technologies for sensory assessment (probing)
- Neurophysiological assessments (probing)
- Computational modelling (e.g. tissue characteristics, biomechanics)
