The sophisticated nervous system that is responsible for the coordination and regulation of bodily functions is involved in many different injuries, disorders and diseases. Its complexity but also unique ability to repair and heal itself enables new methodology and exciting research. Medical advances and increased knowledge of the regenerative capacity of the nervous system have led to the development of new treatment strategies and innovative multimodal, surgical and high-tech solutions to promote functional recovery in various disease states. The focus of the research is largely on intervention research with a focus on methods that aim to increase the functional ability, participation and quality of life of individuals with chronic pain, brain injuries and spinal cord injuries. By advanced brain imaging we study mechanisms that can explain possible treatment effects as well as variations in treatment outcomes.
