Even though chronic pain is very common in people with cerebral palsy, it’s often not adequately treated or managed in regular clinical care. In this new podcast episode, Dr. Amy Bailes and Dr. Mary Gannotti discuss their ongoing CPARF-funded research focused on improving the quality of care for adults with cerebral palsy who experience pain.

Dysfunction in the homeostasis of iron and other elements likely contributes to the development of Parkinson's disease (PD), and Dr. Paul Lingor is working to identify patterns of bioelements in CSF that could be used as biomarkers. He is also studying tear fluid as a potential biomarker source and is involved in studying PD therapies, including the drug Fasudil as well as combinations of advanced therapies for people with later-stage PD. Learn more about his work in our latest podcast episode!
