Assistant Professor
Dr. Dailey teaches introduction to therapeutic exercise, functional anatomy, applied anatomy and physiology, pain science and education, professional practice and PT procedures II, and the capstone portfolio project.
She specializes in pain science and education and chronic pain. Her clinical practice has been in a variety of settings with supervisory responsibilities.
Her clinical practice focus is in outpatient orthopedics with a focus on chronic pain, fibromyalgia and clinical research.
She currently serves as research chair for the Pain Management SIG in the Orthopedic Section of the APTA. Dr. Dailey's current research focus is in chronic pain and fatigue, TENS, pain biomarkers and non-pharmaceutical strategies for chronic pain treatment.

OACES: Older Adult and Caregiver Empathy Simulation
The Impact of an Older Adult and Caregiver Empathy Simulation on Second-Year Doctor of Physical Therapy Students
BEsT: Development of an Electronic Prescription Bundle of Non-Pharmacological Strategies for Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain. Our purpose is to develop, implement, evaluate and disseminate an electronic prescription bundle for two non-pharmacological pain treatments, exercise (EX) and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) for use by primary care providers for treating chronic musculoskeletal pain.
A2CPS: The goal of the Acute to Chronic Pain Signatures (A2CPS) program is to develop a set of objective biomarkers that provide "signatures" to predict if chronic pain is likely to develop after acute pain.
FM TIPS: Fibromyalgia TENS in Physical Therapy Study. This is a pragmatic clinical research trial with the goal to demonstrate the feasibility of adding TENS to treatment of patients with FM in a real-world PT practice setting and to determine if addition of TENS to PT reduces pain, increases adherence to PT and allows patients with FM to reach their specific functional goals with less drug use.
CoEPE Interactive Learning Modules:
Development of Interprofessional Interactive Learning Modules for the Consortium of Excellence in Pain Education focused on Older Adults and Pain Education.
Dr. Dailey participates as a physical therapy supervisor in the Interprofessional Health Clinic for DPT students.
