Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
Factors causing prolonged post-surgical pain and prolonged opioid use.
Some patients following routine surgery will experience chronic pain, and/or prolonged opioid use. This research done at Stanford Hospital and the Palo Alto VA Hospital will identify factors that delay pain resolution and opioid cessation in patients following surgery. Data collection is currently ongoing in the pilot stage, without funding. This clinical study offers abundant opportunities for undergraduate students, medical students, or residents to contribute meaningfully in collecting data from patients, and analyzing results.

Keith Humphreys Addiction

Brainstem Mechanisms of Analgesia in Patients with Post-Surgical Nerve Pain: an fMRI study.
Only a proportion of patients with neuropathic pain respond to conventional anti-neuropathic pain medications--most of which are sodium channel blockers. The mechanisms responsible for analgesia in response to a sodium channel blocker remain unknown. In this translational research at Stanford Hospital we are using functional MRI to define supraspinal changes in neuropathic pain patients specifically associated with analgesic responses to systemic lidocaine--a prototypical sodium channel blocker. Local Collaborators include:

Botulinum Toxin Sympathectomy for Chronic Sympathetically Maintained Pain. This is a prospective, double blind crossover trial of whether Botox improves duration of analgesia following lumbar sympathetic block. The study is centered at Stanford Hospital. Trial enrollment is nearing completion. Opportunities exist for students and residents to assist in data analysis. Collaborators include:
Sean Mackey Pain Medicine
David Clark Pain Medicine
Dates: January 2005-Present
