In my practice, I like to foster self-management and independent self-care in children and adolescents with chronic pain. My goal is to help them discover and develop a variety of nonmedical tools to help cope with their symptoms and emotions.

About

Biography

I’m Anne M. Lynch-Jordan, PhD, a clinical psychologist specializing in the assessment and treatment of pediatric chronic pain. I serve as the primary pain psychologist in the Headache Center, which was named a Clinical Center of Excellence by Medical Economics in 2009, as well as in the Epidermolysis Bullosa Center and the Pain Management Center, recognized as a Clinical Center of Excellence by the American Pain Society in 2007. I direct the Outpatient Behavioral Pain Management Service in Behavioral Medicine & Clinical Psychology, and I lead my team by utilizing quality improvement science for program enhancement.

I am also a professor in the Departments of Pediatrics and Anesthesia (Affiliated) at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. My academic duties involve training and mentoring, and I serve as a supervisor for the BMCP O’Grady Residency in Pediatric Psychology. Additionally, I mentor trainees completing psychology and medical fellowships in pediatric chronic pain.

My current research interests focus on parenting behavior and how it influences illness behavior in children with chronic pain. I’m also interested in pain expression and the factors contributing to functional disability in the pediatric chronic pain population. I will be serving as the mental health safety officer on a large, multi-site NIH clinical trial that investigates combined behavioral interventions (cognitive behavioral therapy) and sports medicine approaches (neuromuscular training) for juvenile primary fibromyalgia syndrome.
