Their work spans several subfields, including Pharmacology, Physiology, Cognitive Neuroscience, Psychiatry and Mental Health, and Experimental and Cognitive Psychology.

The researcher focuses mainly on topics related to pain, with notable attention to musculoskeletal pain and rehabilitation, pain mechanisms and treatments, and pain management including the placebo effect. Additional areas of interest include fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome research, pediatric pain management techniques, opioid use disorder treatment, and studies involving anxiety, depression, psychometrics, treatment, and cognitive processes.

Frequent venues for their publications include the Journal of Pain, where they have published extensively, as well as the Journal of Pain Research, Pain, Nature Reviews Rheumatology, and the Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities.

The following are some of their recent papers, showing a range of topics within pain research and associated cognitive and affective phenomena:

  • Examining Configural, Metric, and Scalar Invariance of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale in Native American and Non-Hispanic White Adults in the Oklahoma Study of Native American Pain Risk (OK-SNAP), 2020, Journal of Pain Research
  • The Relationship Between Adverse Life Events and Endogenous Inhibition of Pain and Spinal Nociception: Findings From the Oklahoma Study of Native American Pain Risk (OK-SNAP), 2021, Journal of Pain
  • The Effect of Pain Catastrophizing on Endogenous Inhibition of Pain and Spinal Nociception in Native Americans: Results From the Oklahoma Study of Native American Pain Risk, 2020, Annals of Behavioral Medicine
  • Heightened affective response to perturbation of respiratory but not pain signals in eating, mood, and anxiety disorders, 2020, PLoS ONE
  • Emotion regulation and the salience network: a hypothetical integrative model of fibromyalgia, 2022, Nature Reviews Rheumatology

Jamie L. Rhudy often collaborates with a select group of coauthors, including Joanna O. Shadlow, Parker A. Kell, Felicitas A. Huber, Tyler A. Toledo, and Erin N. Street, with collaboration counts ranging from 15 to 33 publications per coauthor.
