My research focus is on chronic pain management and spasticity control using both implantable and non-invasive electrophysiological methods.
Areas of Interest
- Spinal cord stimulation of dorsal and ventral columns for treatment of chronic pain
- Investigation into spinal cord stimulation mechanisms of action
- Non-invasive peripheral nerve block using transcutaneous direct current stimulation (tDCS) for acute/chronic pain and spasticity
