About the Center
The
Center for Musculoskeletal Pain Research
is dedicated to the study of mechanisms responsible for musculoskeletal pain; but we are also focused on patient care. Several of our faculty members evaluate and treat patients with Musculoskeletal Pain related to: Fibromyalgia Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Polymyalgia Rheumatica
Our main focus, however, is the study of pain mechanisms responsible for chronic pain states. Clinical trials are conducted in our Research Center and on the General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) of Shands Teaching Hospital at the University of Florida, Gainesville. Our Research Center is located at Health Science Center (see map of the University of Florida.)
