33rd Annual Gunn-Loke Lecture with Dr. Helene Langevin

Sponsor: University of Washington
Date: October 23, 2018
Time: 5:30-6:30 pm


Youtube Video


Speaker: Helene Langevin, MD (USA)
Senior Scientist at Harvard Medical School 

Bio


Dr. Langevin's extensive research career has been focused on mechanisms of pain relief derived from mechanical and intramuscular stimulation. Dr. Langevin has been the Principal Investigator of US National Institutes of Health-funded studies investigating the role of connective tissue in low back pain and the mechanisms of acupuncture, manual and movement-based therapies. Her previous studies in humans and animal models have shown that mechanical tissue stimulation during both tissue stretch and acupuncture causes dynamic cellular responses in connective tissue. Her current work focuses on inflammation resolution mechanisms within connective tissue, and their relevance to chronic musculoskeletal pain and cancer-related pain.
