About
Nicolas Giorgi is a leading researcher in the neuroscience of chronic pain, with a particular focus on the sensorimotor and perceptual disruptions that define conditions like Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). His work sits at the intersection of clinical pain science and advanced technology, using innovative tools such as robotic exoskeletons and virtual reality to probe how the brain perceives and moves the body in pain states. In his highly cited 2018 study (41 citations), Giorgi systematically explored the links between altered body perception, limb position sense, and limb movement sense in CRPS, revealing how these sensory distortions are interconnected rather than isolated symptoms. Earlier, in 2017, he pioneered a method combining robotics and VR to assess proprioception—the sense of body position—both at rest and during active movement, demonstrating that sensorimotor integration is fundamentally altered in individuals with chronic pain compared to healthy controls. By quantifying these subtle, often overlooked deficits, Giorgi’s research provides critical insights into the mechanisms underlying chronic pain and opens new avenues for targeted rehabilitation using immersive, feedback-driven technologies.
