OverviewAI-generated summary
Jodie Trafton's research primarily focuses on pain management, opioid use, and related health outcomes, particularly within veteran populations. Trafton has investigated the associations between stopping opioid prescriptions, the duration of opioid treatment, and subsequent overdose or suicide deaths in US veterans. This work has involved the development and application of tools like the Veterans Health Administration’s Stratification Tool for Opioid Risk Mitigation (STORM) to enhance opioid safety and prevent adverse events.
Trafton's publications also address the impact of interventions on postoperative pain and opioid cessation, including the effect of perioperative gabapentin. Further research has explored the treatment needs associated with pain in individuals with substance use disorders, highlighting implications for concurrent treatment strategies. Early work by Trafton also examined the neurobiological mechanisms of pain sensation, including studies on capsaicin receptors and neurokinin-1 receptor internalization in response to noxious stimulation.
With a substantial publication record of 199 works and a high citation count, Trafton is recognized as a highly cited researcher. Collaborations include work with Matthew Tyler Boden at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences such as Sara J. Landes, Karen L. Drummond, and Rajinder Sonia Singh.
