BRC member receives grant from the Arthritis Society
a Professor in the Departments of Pharmacology and Anesthesia, Pain Management and Perioperative Medicine, is one of three researchers receiving an Ignite Research Grant from the Arthritis Society, presented to innovative researchers for their out-of-the-box thinking.
In Dr. McDougall’s first-of-its-kind-project, he will examine the effect of green light therapy on osteoarthritis pain. Recent research shows illuminating a room with dim, green light can produce long-lasting pain reduction in people with chronic pain from fibromyalgia or migraines, and Dr. McDougall will be the first to test this on osteoarthritis pain. This could have tremendous benefits as almost two-thirds of people with osteoarthritis do not experience adequate pain relief.
