Contribute to Understanding Pain in Adults with Cerebral Palsy

A research opportunity led by Rebecca Taylor, a postgraduate researcher at Ulster University who has personal experience with cerebral palsy, is conducting a study to explore how pain affects the physical, emotional, and social well-being of adults with cerebral palsy and those without it, allowing for a comparison between the groups.

Who can participate?

The project is seeking individuals from three groups:

1.         Adults with cerebral palsy who live in the community – Whether you experience frequent pain or not, your experiences with cerebral palsy are invaluable.

2.         Adults with chronic pain conditions unrelated to cerebral palsy—Your insights can help us compare the impact of chronic pain to pain in cerebral palsy.

3.         Adults with no pain-related condition but a research interest—Help us understand the quality of life without pain or cerebral palsy for a comprehensive perspective.

What is involved?

·      Participate in a 15-20 minute anonymous online questionnaire

·      The survey is accessible, including compatibility with screen readers

Why participate?

This study will contribute to the development of knowledge for better tools for pain assessment and management, directly improving the quality of life for adults with cerebral palsy. Your input will address the gaps in cerebral palsy pain research.
