The basic science and clinical research led by the University of Maryland
Dental School is providing national leadership in the understanding of deep
tissue persistent pain and its impact on diagnosis and treatment. A
dedicated research team was created from the best researchers and clinicians
from the University of Maryland Dental School and School of Medicine, VA
Medical Center, and University of Maryland Medical Center. The program
includes a major Program Project on Plasticity and Modulation in Models of
Persistent Pain and the University of Maryland, Baltimore
Research Center for Neuroendocrine
Influences on Pain.
Basic science research, translational approaches,
clinical trials, and the management of pain are at the center of this
research. Research training programs with over 50 mentors are available to
high school, college, graduate, dental, and medical students; postdoctoral
fellows; and junior faculty desiring to enhance their research skills and
portfolio.
