Study of stress, coping, and pain risk in Native Americans

This study looks at how accurately people can describe their pain and related symptoms. It may help researchers improve how pain is measured in future studies.
This study looks at how beliefs, mood, and social factors affect how people express and judge pain. It mainly uses pain/heat testing and—if chosen—brain scans to understand why pain reports can differ between people.
This study tests how people sense heat and pain, and how the brain and emotions may influence that experience. It is designed for healthy adults and may involve training sessions and (for some parts) MRI scanning.
This study looks at how stress affects pain in people with HIV. It may help find better ways to manage pain in this group.
This is a screening study to see if you might be eligible for other research studies on complementary and integrative health approaches. It helps researchers determine if you can safely participate in future studies.
