OverviewAI-generated summary

Gregory L. Smith's research focuses on pain management and neuromodulation techniques. He has investigated the efficacy of percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation for persistent postoperative pain following knee replacement surgery, as well as the use of spinal cord stimulation trial responders with specific programming methods. His work also explores the influence of psychosocial factors on the success of neuromodulation treatments for patients with chronic pain. Additionally, Smith has published on the topic of pain education and knowledge, proposing guidelines for standardization in fellowship and training programs. His research interests extend to cannabinoids, with publications on hair regrowth with CBD-rich hemp extract and the potential metabolic effects of THCV-infused strips. Smith holds an MD and has an h-index of 16 with over 70 publications and 779 citations.
