Melissa J. Lewis

Melissa J. Lewis is a veterinary researcher whose work centers on neurological disorders in dogs, including spinal cord injury, intervertebral disc disease, and diagnostic imaging for conditions like hydrocephalus and nerve sheath tumors. Recent work also explores rehabilitation approaches for spinal cord injury and, more recently, the pharmacology of psychedelic compounds (such as psilocybin) as potential treatments for chronic pain and opioid-related conditions in animal models. Her research combines clinical case studies, imaging techniques, and treatment outcome studies to improve diagnosis and care for dogs with neurological and musculoskeletal conditions.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade without a clear steady increase or decrease, with recent years (2024) showing a peak of activity similar to earlier peaks in 2020.
