Dr. Manworren's research seeks to culturally transform our sensitivity to children's pain: to better prevent, assess, treat and understand children's pain, especially for predictable pain and pain in children with communication limitations. Her focus is acute, post-operative and procedural pain; risk factors for challenging-to-control acute pain, including genetic and epigenetic differences in pain sensitivity and analgesic metabolism; transition from acute to chronic pain; and predictors of adverse acute pain treatment outcomes, including opioid misuse. Since 1998, Dr. Manworren has conducted educational research of pediatric healthcare providers' and students' knowledge and attitudes regarding pain managment.
