S3, 15 - Changing Clinical Care to Better Treat Pain for People with CP — With Dr. Amy Bailes and Dr. Mary Gannotti

  • Summary

  • The vast majority of people with cerebral palsy (CP) experience chronic pain throughout their life. Even though this pain is incredibly common, it’s often not adequately treated or managed in regular clinical care. Pain treatment delays can lead to more severe pain or other health problems later on. To improve how clinicians treat pain, it’s essential for them to regularly screen patients for pain, classify what type(s) of pain someone has, and measure changes in pain over time.

    In this 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. Amy is a physical therapist and Associate Professor in the Department of Allied Health at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and the University of Cincinnati. She is also Director of Quality improvement with the Cerebral Palsy Research Network. Mary is a physical therapist and Professor at the University of Hartford and performs clinical research with the Cerebral Palsy Research Network. She is also co-chair of the CP Research Network’s Adult Study Group.
