The Anaesthesia Department is actively involved in clinical research at St John of God Midland Hospital
Dr James Jarman – Consultant Anaesthetist and chronic pain specialist
Current research
- A randomised controlled trial of low dose naltrexone for long covid.
This is working with Griffith University and National centre of neuroimmunology and emerging disease (NCNED) - PINCH case series.
A case series of approximately20 women with pelvic pain, often diagnosed as endometriosis that is actually ilioinguinal/ iliohypogastric neuropathic pain, responding/ resolving to Ilioinguinal and Iliohypogastric block and ablation. - Book chapter
Invitation from Mary T in a textbook for colorectal surgeons. Writing a chapter on chronic abdominal pain.
