Doktorirala je s področja kakovosti življenja pri osebah po amputaciji prstov na zgornjih udih, vendar se je nadalje usmerila v ožje klinično področje obravnave oseb s kronično bolečino in fibromialgijo. Razen ambulantne in dejavnosti znotraj interdisciplinarnih programov obravnave kronične bolečine, izvaja kvantitivno senzorimetrijo, ki predstavlja tudi eno izmed orodij v postopkih odločanja o uvajanju nevromodulacijskih postopkov, in je dostopna v Sloveniji zgolj na URI Soča.
