🌟 CNAP - Center for Neuroplasticity and Pain is extremely excited to coordinate and kick-off a MSCA Doctoral Network, FRESCO4NoPain. We have an excellent consortium consisting of world-leading experts in pain neuroscience with the same ambition and commitment: To train the future generation of pain scientists to address the unmet challenges within chronic pain.
Look forward to continue collaborations with Ipek Yalcin Christmann, Didier Bouhassira, Attal Nadine, Anthony Pickering, Markus Ploner, André Mouraux, Giulia Liberati, Rohini Kuner, Daniel Ciampi de Andrade, among others. As well as associated partners European Pain Federation EFIC, g.tec medical engineering GmbH - NEVER STOP RECORDING, MagVenture, National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs), neuroConn GmbH, Pain Alliance Europe, SporeData Inc., sync2brain GmbH, Nexstim Oy, Starlab Barcelona S.L., Signifix B.V.
👉 FRESCO4NoPain: Frontier RESearch COmpetences for Neuro-modulation and Oscillations in PAIN
Chronic pain is a major societal and economic European burden, affects one in five adults, and its inadequate relief indicates a major unmet need for effective and mechanism-based non-pharmacological treatments. In FRESCO4NoPain, we propose that maladaptive brain oscillatory activity is associated with persistent pain, and that non-invasive brain neuromodulation may provide a novel treatment strategy. For this, mechanistic insight is needed. This is the perfect opportunity to unite world-leading experts in pain neuroscience to train 17 uniquely skilled Doctoral Candidates (DCs) who will become the future generation of pain scientists, fully equipped to address unmet challenges within chronic pain. The DCs will be integrated in a one-of-a-kind network-wide training infrastructure conducting frontline research on non-invasive brain stimulation that targets persistent pain based on i) preclinical studies of the relevant brain circuitries, ii) human studies of the involved mechanisms, and iii) clinical studies. DCs will access a unique set of basic, experimental, and clinical disciplines in both academic and non-academic settings, tied together by synergistic collaborations across the network. An application-based and patient-oriented mindset will permeate the consortium via the active involvement of cutting-edge MedTech companies, knowledge actors and end-users. FRESCO4NoPain will deliver on urgently needed non-pharmacological therapeutic concepts for chronic pain and build on fundamental scientific insights regarding the role of neuronal oscillations in the brain processing of pain.
👉 Stay tuned - call for DCs in Feb 2025
