Overview

Patrick W. Stroman is a researcher affiliated with Queen's University in Canada specializing in medicine, with a focus on physiology, pharmacology, cognitive neuroscience, psychiatry and mental health, as well as cardiology and cardiovascular medicine. Their academic work primarily explores various aspects of pain mechanisms and treatments, musculoskeletal pain and rehabilitation, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, pain management and placebo effect, heart rate variability and autonomic control, functional brain connectivity studies, and myofascial pain diagnosis and treatment.

Stroman has contributed to multiple research articles, notably including:

  • Spinal cord neural activity of patients with fibromyalgia and healthy controls during temporal summation of pain: an fMRI study, 2021, Journal of Neurophysiology
  • Altered Pain in the Brainstem and Spinal Cord of Fibromyalgia Patients During the Anticipation and Experience of Experimental Pain, 2022, Frontiers in Neurology
  • A comparison of the effectiveness of functional MRI analysis methods for pain research: The new normal, 2020, PLoS ONE
  • How fMRI Analysis Using Structural Equation Modeling Techniques Can Improve Our Understanding of Pain Processing in Fibromyalgia, 2021, Journal of Pain Research
  • Coordinated Human Brainstem and Spinal Cord Networks during the Expectation of Pain Have Elements Unique from Resting-State Effects, 2020, Brain Sciences

Frequent coauthors who have collaborated extensively with Stroman include Gabriela Ioachim, Jocelyn M. Powers, Roland Staud, Howard J. M. Warren, and Caroline F. Pukall.

The main venues where their work has appeared include:

  • Frontiers in Pain Research
  • Brain Sciences
  • PLoS ONE
  • Journal of Neurophysiology
  • Frontiers in Neurology

Stroman's research has addressed key topics in pain research, focusing particularly on the neural mechanisms underlying fibromyalgia and chronic pain conditions. Their publications frequently employ advanced imaging techniques such as functional MRI to investigate how pain is processed in the brainstem and spinal cord, particularly under experimental pain conditions and temporal summation paradigms.

Their body of work spans an interdisciplinary scientific approach within medicine, integrating physiology and cognitive neuroscience with clinical psychiatry and pain management strategies. This multidisciplinary focus supports a deeper understanding of chronic pain disorders and possible pathways for therapeutic intervention.
