Erwin Hendriks

Erwin Hendriks is a Researcher at Erasmus MC in the field of Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. His work focuses on chronic musculoskeletal disorders, particularly Whiplash-Associated Disorders and Vestibular Disorders, integrating pain science, psychology, and pharmacology.

Research Interests:

• Central sensitization mechanisms in chronic pain
• Exercise-induced hypoalgesia dynamics
• Psychosocial factors in vestibular dysfunction
• Pharmacological modulation of pain perception
• Reliability of clinical assessment tools

Research Output Trends: Recent publications (2020-2024) demonstrate interdisciplinary exploration of pain modulation in WAD patients, vestibular disorder psychosocial impacts, and tool validation studies. Collaborations span neuroscience, orthopedics, and cross-cultural psychology.

Network & Impact: Active in international collaborations, with citations in Scopus (42 cumulative) and visibility on Mendeley. Research areas intersect with hypersensitivity, neuropharmacology, and rehabilitation science.
