Vivianne Tawfik, MD, PhD, discusses complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), a mysterious form of chronic pain that arises after trauma or surgery on a limb. She gives an overview of this rare, but likely under-diagnosed, condition and highlights findings from her lab that point to immune system dysregulation as one possible driver.

Dr. Tawfik runs a clinically-informed basic science lab focused on the immune contribution to persistent pain while also caring for patients suffering from chronic pain.
