Overview

Carlo Adolfo Porro is affiliated with the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia in Italy. Their research spans multiple fields primarily within Medicine and Neuroscience, with a total of 33 and 13 publications respectively in these areas. The work particularly focuses on subfields such as Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health, Cognitive Neuroscience, Pediatrics, Perinatology and Child Health, Oncology, and Physiology.

Porro's research topics concentrate on several main areas including Palliative Care and End-of-Life Issues, Childhood Cancer Survivors' Quality of Life, Cancer Survivorship and Care, Pain Management and Placebo Effect, Pain Mechanisms and Treatments, Psychosomatic Disorders and Their Treatments, and Patient Dignity and Privacy.

Among the frequent co-authors collaborating closely with Porro are Eleonora Borelli, Mario Luppi, Elena Bandieri, Sarah Bigi, and Leonardo Potenza. These collaborations have contributed to advancing research mainly in clinical oncology and neuroscience.

Their publications often appear in journals such as The Oncologist, BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care, Frontiers in Oncology, Cancers, and Brain Sciences, with the highest number of papers published in The Oncologist and BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care (three each). Porro's contributions to the scientific literature include both journal articles and book chapters.

A recent book publication in 2024 titled The Brain in Pain: A Multidimensional Approach was released by Frontiers Media. This work reflects the multidimensional approach Porro applies to research related to pain mechanisms and treatment.
