About
Paul Jarrett is a clinical researcher whose work sits at the fascinating intersection of psychodermatology, stress physiology, and wound healing. His primary research focus is on how sensory and environmental enrichment—concepts well-established in animal models—can be translated to improve human health outcomes, particularly for skin barrier recovery and chronic skin conditions. Jarrett’s most impactful work, a 2020 randomized trial (9 citations), demonstrated that brief interactions with tactile enrichment, such as comfort blankets, could significantly accelerate skin barrier recovery after a standardized wound. This finding was a crucial step in proving that simple, non-pharmacological interventions can directly modulate human physiology. He further explored this pathway by investigating sensory enrichment following a laboratory stressor, and in a notable 2022 pilot study (3 citations), he examined the feasibility of using a Paro therapeutic robot to reduce stress in patients with psoriasis. By bridging animal behavior research with rigorous human trials, Jarrett is pioneering accessible, low-cost interventions that leverage our environment to improve clinical outcomes in dermatology and beyond.
