Victoria Menzies is a PhD prepared nurse researcher and educator at the College of Nursing, University of Florida. Her broad clinical training as a psychiatric clinical nurse specialist and her doctoral training in research methods have provided an ideal foundation for examining the biobehavioral factors in human health and disease. Over the past 18 years, her research program has focused on improved symptom self-management in individuals diagnosed with chronic pain conditions, specifically those with fibromyalgia. Aside from validation of the condition by healthcare providers, symptom management is one of the biggest challenges for people with fibromyalgia. Thus, her previous work in the field has centered on the development and testing of effective non-pharmacologic symptom self-management strategies. Her current program of research includes investigating mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of chronic pain and fatigue conditions using metabolomic approaches with an aim to determine the clinical and biological risks that contribute to the development and treatment of these disorders.
