Biography

Jennifer Rabbitts, MD, is a Professor and Chief of Pediatric Pain Management at Stanford University School of Medicine. She leads a NIH-funded research laboratory dedicated to improving long-term pain health outcomes for children and adolescents undergoing surgery. Her research aims to understand and prevent chronic postsurgical pain, a disabling condition affecting 20% of youth faced with major surgery. Current investigations explore biopsychosocial mechanisms, such as child psychosocial factors and family dynamics, in the transition from acute to chronic pain. Clinical trials underway assess the feasibility and effectiveness of psychosocial and complementary interventions to enhance acute pain management and stave off chronic pain development. Dr. Rabbitts is a passionate mentor and leads the NIH HEAL PAIN Training grant focused on maternal and child pain health. Additionally, she holds editorial roles within Pain Medicine and serves on various committees aimed at advancing pediatric anesthesiology. Committed to improving pediatric pain management, her laboratory facilitates several innovative clinical trials and projects addressing critical elements of pain recovery in youth.
