The Body in Mind Research Group is based at The Sansom Institute for Health Research at the University of South Australia in Adelaide and Neuroscience Research Australia in Sydney. We have active collaborations with researchers scattered around the world. Together we are seeking a better understanding of the interaction between the body, brain and mind in chronic and complex pain disorders.

We often get people writing in about their particular conditions asking for more information and help. Unfortunately we get too many to be able to respond personally. We do not publish these comments for privacy reasons and we cannot offer treatment advice.

If you want more information on what we know about CRPS you might find this article helpful. You can also read recent research published by the team and browse through our blog articles.

facilitate and disseminate good clinical science research. We love comments that engage with the research and are constructive and respectful. No self-promotion of your particular therapy please (these comments get filed in the recycling bin). We do not prescribe treatments.
