Research summary
AI-generated

Stephen Bruehl's research focuses on chronic pain, including how the nervous system amplifies pain signals (sensitization), predicting which patients develop persistent high-impact pain, and testing behavioral and clinical treatments for conditions like fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome, and pelvic/bladder pain. The work combines clinical trials, quantitative sensory testing, psychological (cognitive-behavioral) interventions, and machine learning applied to electronic health records. Note: the publication list also includes unrelated papers on astronomical transients and unidentified anomalous phenomena, which appear to be from a different author with the same name rather than this pain-research profile.
