Amplified Musculoskeletal Pain Syndrome

This study is interested in identifying how the brain reacts to pain both before and after treatment in the intensive RND program.

Through clinical and translational research, the Center for Amplified Musculoskeletal Pain Syndrome (CAMPS) research lab seeks to advance understanding of successful treatments for pediatric amplified musculoskeletal pain syndrome, with the overall goal of improving patients' and families' lives.

Dr. Gmuca seeks to enhance the care of children with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Her current research addresses amplified musculoskeletal pain syndrome, which is a major public health issue because of its high prevalence, related socioeconomic burden, and associated risk of opioid exposure. Dr. Gmuca’s work aims to identify innovative strategies to improve long-term treatment outcomes for this patient population.
