About
My research focuses on attentional and emotional processes implicated in the experience of chronic and acute pain, with particular focus on chronic headache and chronic musculoskeletal pain conditions. I am a leading researcher in the experimental health psychology field, developing and implementing novel experimental paradigms and methods, including eye-tracking and quantitative sensory testing, to explore a range of topics pertinent to chronic pain. My primary research field explores cognitive biases for symbolic and somatosensory pain-related information in individuals with and without chronic pain. In addition to my experimental research, I have conducted many systematic reviews and meta-analyses in order to synthesise current knowledge on important topics in the pain field.

Research
Current research
My current and planned research explores the presence, causal relationships, and clinical implications of combined cognitive biases in chronic pain, including attentional, interpretation and memory biases. A related strand of research explores the potential therapeutic benefits of attentional and interpretation bias modification techniques in individuals with chronic pain. In addition, I use quantitative sensory testing techniques to explore the functional status of the somatosensory system in adult and paediatric populations, along with the relationships between somatosensory processing and cognitive biases.
Further to my empirical research, I use meta-analytic techniques to synthesize current knowledge on a range of important topics in the pain field, which in turn serves as an important guide for future studies. Examples of current projects include a systematic review and meta-analysis of conditioned pain modulation in children and adolescents with and without chronic pain, and a systematic review and meta-analysis of home-based pain and other physical symptom management interventions for family caregivers of patients with life limiting conditions.
