SUMMARY

Matt E. Schumann, Ph.D., L.P., studies how psychosocial factors, such as pain-related thoughts, and behavioral and social responses to pain influence the management of chronic pain. His research also seeks to understand factors that contribute to improved pain rehabilitation outcomes. Dr. Schumann explores strategies to optimize nonpharmacological treatments for pain. His research also focuses on pain coping when both medical and mental health conditions are present.
