Are you 18 years of age? Do you have mild to high pain in the jaw, neck, back, shoulders, or limbs? You may be able to participate in a research study to better understand how pain, mood, and mental health are related in youth. Compensation is provided.
This study will examine brain activity, pain, and mood in adolescents with musculoskeletal pain in limbs, back, neck, or shoulders. We will also ask questions about depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation and behavior. We will use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure brain activity, and will use questionnaires and repeated home electronic assessments to measure pain, mood, and behavior. All adolescent participants will be asked to also complete a 7-day home assessment via their phone after the 2nd visit, and again approximately once a month for 5 additional months.

Are you planning a scar contracture release and reconstruction surgery with your physician? Are you willing to be assigned by chance to one of two treatments, either a standard of care (SOC) surgery, or an SOC surgery plus a graft of your own fat? You may be eligible for a research study to compare these surgeries.
