معرفی
Lars Arendt-Nielsen is a Professor and Research Group Leader at Aalborg University, Department of Medicine and Health Technology, Faculty of Health Sciences. He is also affiliated with Aalborg University Hospital, where he leads research in translational pain neuroscience and precision health. His work spans multiple interdisciplinary centers, including the Center for Neuroplasticity and Pain and the Center for Mathematical Modeling of Knee Osteoarthritis.
Research Interests:
His primary research areas include translational pain neuroscience, chronic pain mechanisms, biomarkers, quantitative sensory testing, and precision medicine. He investigates conditions such as knee osteoarthritis, postoperative pain, fibromyalgia, and migraine, with a strong emphasis on experimental models and clinical diagnostics. His work integrates health technology, pharmacology, and epigenetics to develop personalized pain management strategies.
Publication Trends:
His recent publications (2022–2025) reflect a strong focus on chronic pain after total knee arthroplasty, post-COVID conditions, genetic polymorphisms in pain disorders, and novel treatments for itch and migraine. Articles frequently appear in high-impact journals and often involve randomized controlled trials, biomarker discovery, and patient-centered outcomes.
