Edward R. Mariano, MD, MAS, FASA, FASRA
Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine (MSD)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy clinical research interests include the development of techniques and patient care pathways to improve postoperative pain control and other surgical outcomes. I am particularly interested in using regional anesthesiology, the science and practice of modulating nerve transmission in the central neuraxis or within peripheral nerves, to produce target-specific and opioid-sparing pain relief and enhance recovery after surgery or injury.
