Via a study entitled, \u201cPredictors of nociplastic pain after cardiac surgery requiring critical care,\u201d Dr. Guichard\u2019s team is investigating whether these symptoms, often referred to as post-intensive care syndrome (PICS), may represent nociplastic pain. Nociplastic pain is a mechanism of pain that arises from altered sensory processing in the brain without clear tissue damage. This study is a prospective observational human study with behavioral and quantitative sensory assessments and helps to define a new pathophysiological model of post-ICU pain that has affected a growing number of patients worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>UNC Anesthesiology Chair Dr. Ted Sakai noted: &#8220;Dr. Guichard&#8217;s innovative research has the potential to transform our understanding of pain after critical illness and exemplifies the excellence in academic medicine we champion at UNC Anesthesiology.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNC Anesthesiology
