AMIGO is a European Research Council (ERC)-founded project led by Hospital Clínic that aims to uncover the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms related to Chronic Pain development in adolescents. In this project, adolescents scheduled for a major surgery (pectus, spinal or hip or femur osteotomy) will be monitored before and after the procedure to assess how several risk factors (such as psychosocial risk factors) and their neurophysiology (assessed before surgery via fMRI) are related to chronic pain incidence.
