Tired, foggy and hurting: Innovations in charaterizing and treating pain, fatigue and cognitive dysfunction
Anna Kratz, PhD, is a clinical psychologist and Associate Professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI. She has specialized training and practiced clinically as a health psychologist, with particular emphasis on pain psychology. Since joining the faculty at the University of Michigan, she has led a program of research that focuses on the characteristics, mechanisms, and treatment of chronic pain, fatigue, and cognitive dysfunction across chronic conditions, including multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, and spinal cord injury. She employs a number of complementary data collection methods, including qualitative methods (e.g., focus groups) and ambulatory assessment of subjective experiences and objective measures of physical activity, cognitive functioning, and physiological activity. Her interventional work focuses on behavioral and combinatorial approaches to symptom management, and a focus on increasing patient access to symptom management care.
