Research plays an important role in improving pain management for children. On this page we showcase our research and resources that are most relevant for researchers. We are also always looking for new researchers to collaborate with and new trainees to join our team.
We also conduct original grant-funded research on a range of topics in children's pain management, with a focus on developmental,
psychological, and family factors.
