Current Projects

I am currently working on three research projects that cover the effects of two different dry-needling techniques on lumbar multifidus muscle activation and pressure pain threshold in patients with low back pain, short-term effects of single-session repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on pain thresholds in patients with chronic low back pain - a pilot study, and cognitive function of patients with chronic low back pain who respond to transcranial magnetic stimulation.
