FOR ADULTS WITH CHRONIC PAIN
We are conducting a research study involving individuals who experience chronic pain to understand if and how certain thoughts, feelings, and pain sensitivity are related to suicide risk.
Participants will complete an online screening session that will involve a short interview and questionnaires which will take approximately 3.5 hours and a 2.5-hour in-person lab visit that will include EMG and EEG and a pain pressure test. After, participants will be asked to complete daily app-based questionnaires on their phone for 21 days.

UPCOMING STUDY FOR FEMALES AGES 21-29
We are preparing to launch a new research study for biological females ages 21–29 who have experienced a stressful life event. This study will examine how the brain responds to emotional information and how brain activity may relate to emotions and behaviors.
Study participation will take place over approximately 7 weeks and will include four in-person visits, as well as 21 days of online surveys completed while wearing a biosensor similar to a smartwatch. Participants will complete questionnaires, a brief interview about common life experiences, and a health screening. Study visits will also include EEG/EMG recordings and administration of either alcohol or a placebo via IV.
Recruitment begins Winter 2026. More information about eligibility and how to participate will be available as recruitment approaches.
UPCOMING STUDY FOR ADULTS WHO USE OPIOIDS AND ALCOHOL
We are preparing to launch a new research study for individuals ages 21–65 to better understand how people who use both opioids and alcohol experience pain and the effects of alcohol, compared with people who use only one of these substances.
The study will take place over approximately 4 weeks and will include four in-person visits. Participants will complete a medical screening, questionnaires, and a verbal interview, along with a blood draw and sensory testing. Visits will also include administration of either alcohol or a placebo via IV.
Recruitment begins Winter 2026. More information about eligibility and how to participate will be available as recruitment approaches.
