Caroline Arbour is a nurse scientist and a regular researcher at the Montreal Sacred Heart Hospital Research Center since 2016. Her research aims to better understand the risk and protective factors involved in the development of chronic pain after moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury. A secondary goal is to explore the utility of innovative clinical interventions (including transcranial magnetic modulation) to modulate the pain experience in this clientele. As part of her postdoctoral training, she completed an advanced training course at the prestigious COMA Group (Liège, Belgium) where she obtained accreditation on the coma recovery scale, a grid to identify signs of covert conscience in patients with a chronic disorder of consciousness (eg vegetative state or minimal consciousness). Ms. Arbour is the only clinician with such accreditation in Quebec. She is also an active member of the Interprofessional Pain Management Interest Group of the Canadian Pain Society since 2012.
