Title:Associate Professor of Anesthesiology and Pediatrics
Jeffrey I. Gold Ph.D.Research Topics:
Research Interests:Biopsychosocial, neurodevelopmental, and
neurobehavioral investigations of acute and
chronic pain, chronic illness and
posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in
medically ill children and adolescents.
<br><br>
Dr. Gold is actively engaged in the evaluation
and utility of complementary and alternative
medicine (i.e., virtual reality, massage) for
reducing pain, anxiety, psychological distress
and increasing comfort and satisfaction in
hospitalized children. He is currently a co-
investigator on a NIH Program Project with
the Comprehensive Sickle Cell Centers -
Clinical Trials Consortium, examining
neuropsychological dysfunction and
neuroimaging abnormalities in neurologically
intact adult patients with sickle cell disease,
NIMH-funded program examining acute
stress reactions in children following
physical trauma (i.e., motor vehicle
accidents), and intramural support from the
Saban Research Institute examining the
neurobiological basis of virtual reality pain
attenuation.
