Cleveland, Ohio
Dr. Wilson is the Vice Chair and Director of the Division of Neurological Rehabilitation at the MetroHealth Rehabilitation Institute and is a Professor of PM&R at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. After developing the hypothesis that the mechanism of peripheral motor nerve stimulation is correction of the neuroplastic effects of central sensitization, he demonstrated efficacy in pain reduction and the first evidence for central sensitization as the mechanism of action in case series with subacromial impingement syndrome. He was the first to show generalized hyperalgesia in those with hemiplegic shoulder pain, a finding that supports central sensitization involvement in chronic hemiplegic shoulder pain. He has led or participated in randomized controlled trials for pain interventions and improvement of impairment in those with upper limb disabilities He has won awards for national presentations at professional meetings and has presented internationally on the topic of central sensitization in chronic shoulder pain. He has served as PI on grants testing peripheral nerve stimulation for chronic pain relief and currently the head of two multisite clinical trials funded by the National Institutes of Health.
