Catherine E Ferland PhD currently works at the Department of Anesthesia, McGill University. Catherine's research focuses on Neuroscience and Physiology, with interests in Pediatrics and Pain Management. She investigates surgical outcomes and quality of care, particularly related to postoperative pain and its long-term effects. Her work addresses the prevalence of chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) in children and aims to identify factors that contribute to its development. Catherine's current research includes optimizing pain assessment within the perioperative period, evaluating the descending inhibitory pain responses associated with major orthopedic surgeries, and understanding neurophysiological factors underlying back pain in children. The overarching goal of her research program is to develop clinical strategies for managing postoperative pain based on sound mechanistic principles, ultimately aiming to transform care for patients facing these challenges.
