OverviewAI-generated summary

Gregory L. Smith is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. His research focuses on the study of pain management, particularly through neuromodulation techniques and the investigation of novel therapeutic agents. Smith has published on the efficacy of percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation for persistent postoperative pain and spinal cord stimulation for chronic back pain. His work also explores the impact of psychosocial factors on treatment success.

Additional research interests include the potential therapeutic effects of cannabinoids, such as CBD and THCV, for conditions including hair regrowth and weight loss. Smith is also involved in developing standardized guidelines for neuromodulation training programs. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 16 and 70 total publications, with 772 citations.
