Our Primer on Central Neuropathic Pain has been published - check it out

Congratulations to Professor Sylvia Gustin and Dr Aidan Cashin, who hold conjoint positions between NeuRA (Neuroscience Research Australia) UNSW Science and UNSW Medicine & Health, for being awarded funding in the latest round of the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF)!

I am over the moon to have been awarded funding for our Emotional Recovery Program, which provides skills to people with chronic pain on how to better deal with the emotional aspect of ongoing pain.

Joining forces to identify brain imaging biomarkers of chronic pain? The ENIGMA Chronic Pain Working Group furthers large-scale collaborative efforts. We now also work on #EEG. We look forward to welcoming new partners. enigma.ini.usc.edu/ongoing/enigma… ENIGMA Consortium Sylvia Gustin

Can virtual reality walking help with neuropathic pain after SCI? Researchers at NeuroRecovery Research Hub seek participants in Australia for the VRWalk clinical trial, to see if Virtual Reality Walking is effective in reducing chronic neuropathic pain. neurorecoveryresearch.com/vrwalk-trial

Very exciting paper and an important contribution.

Shameful

Our research investigating a new style of therapy for chronic pain has been published in the European Journal of Pain. Results also shared in The Age and SMH today. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ej…… European Pain Federation EFIC® UNSW NeuRA (Neuroscience Research Australia) Sylvia Gustin Centre for Pain Impact James McAuley

New research by Sylvia Gustin & Nell Norman-Nott in @efic_org's European Journal of Pain reveals focusing on emotional health can greatly ease chronic pain. Thank you @Sarzberry @SMH for covering the story & Alexandra C Green for sharing yours: bit.ly/3PNj0Bp #ChronicPain

I am over the moon and very thankful that we have received funding for our in-house developed neuromodulatory treatment for people with nerve pain after spinal cord injury, to test its efficacy in a clinical trial. Thank you!

#CRPS has been thought to be a lifelong condition, with limited treatment options. That view's been turned on its head in a major study from NeuRA’s Centre for Pain IMPACT Centre for Pain Impact, led by Michael Ferraro and James McAuley published in The Lancet Neurology. thelancet.com/journals/laneu…

Wonderful to see our review on #CRPS published this week

We had a chat to Prof Brian Dean, Chair of the Foundation's Scientific Advisory Committee, about the Foundation’s current funding strategy.

NeuRA and UNSW researchers, in partnership with PQSA, are seeking research volunteers to take part in a clinical trial, that investigates if Virtual Reality Walking is effective as a treatment to reduce chronic neuropathic pain after Spinal Cord Injury: shorturl.at/lpTU7.

Time to introduce ourselves at the Centre for #Pain IMPACT. We are a team of researchers with a wide range of backgrounds and specialities that we use to improve the lives of individuals suffering from chronic pain. Watch this space as we introduce each member of our team.

This is a great project - please get involved if you can. J

Researchers at NeuRA, led by Prof Sylvia Gustin, are using virtual reality to help restore touch sensation in people with spinal cord injuries. The project, #VRWalk, combines foot stimulation with VR scenarios to retrain the brain and create new neural pathways. Supported by the
