Hajime Tokuno is an Associate Professor of Neurology at Yale University, focusing on neurophysiology and chronic pain. He has a background in studying electrophysiology of peripheral nerves in both human and rodent subjects. His research includes the development of novel local anesthetics and new pain protocols, with a particular emphasis on the beneficial effects of botulinum toxins in treating chronic pain. Tokuno is actively enrolling participants in studies exploring the efficacy of botulinum toxins for individuals suffering from chronic neck and back pain, underpinned by the belief that unregulated muscular activity contributes significantly to pain in the context of mechanical injury. Additionally, he is involved in developing new pain scoring systems aimed at tracking chronic pain conditions and predicting outcomes for innovative treatments. His research also delves into the clinical application of infrared thermography for diagnosing and assessing the severity of nerve and muscle injuries.
