Current calls for volunteers
Dimensions of home and people with persistent pain
Researchers at Griffith University are inviting all adults living with chronic pain to complete an anonymous online survey. They want to know if the experience of home influences pain, health, and well-being. The information collected with the survey will help them to identify:
- How people with pain experience the different aspects of their home environment
- If the experience of home has any associations with pain, health and well-being.
The information gained will help them to understand if knowledge about the experience of home can be used to support better outcomes for people with persistent pain.
The study is open to all those over 18 years old who experience chronic pain. You do not have to take part if you do not want to. Your participation is entirely voluntary.
Study recruitment opens in May 2024 and closes in September 2024. If you are interested, you can read the full Participation Information Sheet here >>

Migraine & Cognition – LTU School of Psychology and Public Health
Researchers at LTU’s School of Psychology and Public Health are interested in the cognitive changes that people with migraine may experience, outside of their migraine attacks. We are looking for both people who experience migraine and ‘healthy’ controls to complete some cognitive tests and questionnaires about mood and personality.
The 1.5 to 2-hour assessment will take place on Zoom, which can be conducted at home. All participants will be placed in a randomised prize draw where 1 in 8 participants will receive a $50 e-gift voucher. The total time commitment is estimated to be 2 to 3 hours, depending on your level of participation.
