Research

  • My doctoral project aims to increase the understanding of underlying
    pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the regulation of pain, with a
    specific focus on chronic pain, where endogenous pain modulation is
    dysfunctional. We use methods to assess pain modulation (exercise-induced
    hypoalgesia and conditioned pain modulation), assessments of neural
    processing (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) as well as psychological
    evaluations and relate them to genetic variants involved in opioid- and
    serotonergic transmission in chronic pain patients and healthy controls. The
    work surrounds the hypothesis of aberrant central mechanisms being involved
    the chronification of pain with a focus on opioid and serotonergic brain
    signaling.
