Research shows that some people have a higher pain tolerance than others, and Ilknur Telkes, Ph.D., wants to find out why. By studying brainwaves, her research aims to understand why some patients respond well to one paradigm over another to further understanding of chronic pain, and ultimately, to design therapies tailored to each patient to improve pain relief.

Join Telkes as she discusses:

• Spinal cord stimulation as a treatment for low back pain

• Issues with lack of objective measurements

• Her efforts to develop quantified, neural signatures of pain relief.
