Join a Duke study on how pain meds impact the brain in women with chronic pain

Receive compensation & support chronic pain research

Researchers at Duke University are studying how pain meds impact brain activity in women with chronic pain.

We will study women who use certain pain medications using MRI scans with games, sensory tests, and surveys.

We hope to develop new, healthier, non-addictive treatments for women with chronic pain.
