Lucia Gagliese is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine. Her primary research interest focuses on pain and aging, particularly the age-related patterns of pain in older women with breast cancer. By identifying biopsychosocial predictors and mediators, she aims to study the trajectory and impact of pain on disability. Dr. Gagliese examines how advanced cancer pain affects marital relationships and is active in validating pain scales and indices for assessing analgesic adequacy throughout the adult lifespan. Another major area of her research involves the intersection of pain experiences and delirium in older patients, leading to the development of observational tools tailored for this demographic. Additionally, she investigates the beliefs and knowledge of healthcare workers regarding pain in older populations and how these perceptions influence patient care, especially in contexts involving cancer pain and delirium. Her research has received funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Canadian Cancer Society Research Institute.
