Galway researchers seek volunteers for chronic pain research

Researchers at NUI Galway's Centre for Pain Research are looking for volunteers to participate in a medical research study.

It aims to increase understanding of the impact of chronic pain on learning, memory and attention.

Healthy volunteers, with no history of chronic pain, are being sought to participate in this study as part of the 'control' group.

Participants must be over 18, with no pre-existing cognitive impairment, and no history of major psychiatric illness, epilepsy, seizures or diabetes.

Participants will be required to complete some questionnaires and simple assessments that measure memory, attention and other functions, such as problem solving.
