Im writing today to flag an important funding opportunity related to research on myofascial tissues and their role in musculoskeletal pain. Myofascial tissues have long been understudied, especially in understanding the underlying processes that can either lead to musculoskeletal pain or help mitigate it. This initiative is aimed at developing tools and measurements that may ultimately help clinicians better identify and treat patients with myofascial pain. Developing objective measurements of myofascial tissues relevant to myofascial pain and assessing them in human study participants will require interdisciplinary teams including clinicians with experience in the diagnosis and treatment of myofascial pain, engineers, tool developers, and clinical researchers. I therefore want to alert you of some resources that may help you put together a research team and develop a grant application for this funding opportunity. |
