She has completed three validation studies to date which have shown high levels of instrument performance in this patient population. She is also the principal investigator of a project designed to develop a Multi-Attribute Health Index to measure the quality of labour analgesia. Further research interests include the prevention and treatment of post-dural puncture headaches, as well as dural tissue trauma patterns produced by epidural needles.
