Dr Min Liu’s journey began in China, where she attended medical school before relocating to the UK in 1998 to pursue a Ph.D. in neuroscience at University College London (UCL). After completing my Ph.D., Dr Liu advanced her medical experience by obtaining the Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) in anaesthetics and pain medicine in early 2018.

Since then, she has been a full-time pain consultant at Guy's and St. Thomas' Hospital (GSTT). Dr Liu is specialised in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic pain conditions, particularly chronic widespread pain and fibromyalgia. She offers investigations, including skin biopsy and cytokine profiles. She has many years' experience in administering systemic lidocaine infusions to patients suffering from fibromyalgia and refractory neuropathic pain. Dr Liu is interested in post-COVID syndrome, which shares some features with fibromyalgia.

She has several years of experience in managing visceral pain and chronic post-surgical pain. The use of cannabis in patients with fibromyalgia remains controversial. She is keen to collect clinical data to assess its safety and efficacy in managing symptoms such as pain and sleep. Dr Liu is proficient in performing targeted pain procedures such as radiofrequency denervation for lower back pain and epidurolysis for radicular pain.
