Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Cognition
  • Physical therapy

His primary areas of study are Physical therapy, Low back pain, Chronic pain, Pain catastrophizing and Back pain. His Physical therapy research includes themes of Randomized controlled trial, Cognitive therapy and Psychometrics. His Low back pain research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Rehabilitation, Cohort study, Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Confirmatory factor analysis and Cognitive behavioral therapy.

His work on Fear-avoidance model as part of general Chronic pain research is frequently linked to Perspective, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Pain catastrophizing research integrates issues from Psychological intervention, Explained variation, Vigilance and Risk factor. His Back pain research includes themes of Exposure therapy, Health psychology and Distress.

His most cited work include:

  • Fear-avoidance and its consequences in chronic musculoskeletal pain: a state of the art (3234 citations)
  • Fear of movement/(re)injury in chronic low back pain and its relation to behavioral performance (1716 citations)
  • The fear-avoidance model of musculoskeletal pain: current state of scientific evidence. (1427 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Johan W.S. Vlaeyen focuses on Chronic pain, Physical therapy, Pain catastrophizing, Low back pain and Developmental psychology. His Chronic pain research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Clinical psychology, Fear conditioning, Anxiety and Audiology. The Physical therapy study combines topics in areas such as Back pain, Randomized controlled trial and Physical medicine and rehabilitation.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Pain catastrophizing, Mood are connected with Persistence and other disciplines. His study explores the link between Low back pain and topics such as Psychometrics that cross with problems in Confirmatory factor analysis. Cognition and Perception is closely connected to Cognitive psychology in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Developmental psychology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Chronic pain (55.43%)
  • Physical therapy (40.36%)
  • Pain catastrophizing (31.12%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Chronic pain (55.43%)
  • Physical therapy (40.36%)
  • Stimulus (24.96%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Chronic pain, Physical therapy, Stimulus, Audiology and Cognition. Johan W.S. Vlaeyen studies Chronic pain, focusing on Fear-avoidance model in particular. Low back pain covers Johan W.S. Vlaeyen research in Fear-avoidance model.

Johan W.S. Vlaeyen has researched Physical therapy in several fields, including Psychological intervention, Neuropathic pain, Randomized controlled trial, Single-subject design and Biopsychosocial model. His Stimulus research incorporates themes from Healthy volunteers, Categorization, Fear conditioning and Physical medicine and rehabilitation. Johan W.S. Vlaeyen interconnects Back pain, Cognitive psychology, Tinnitus and Clinical psychology in the investigation of issues within Cognition.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Chronic pain as a symptom or a disease: the IASP Classification of Chronic Pain for the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). (318 citations)
  • The IASP classification of chronic pain for ICD-11: chronic primary pain. (158 citations)
  • The IASP classification of chronic pain for ICD-11: chronic primary pain. (158 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Cognition
  • Social psychology

His primary areas of investigation include Chronic pain, Physical therapy, Fear-avoidance model, Fibromyalgia and Randomized controlled trial. While working on this project, he studies both Chronic pain and Perspective. His Physical therapy study combines topics in areas such as Biopsychosocial model, Neuropathic pain, Quality of life and Disease.

Fear-avoidance model is the subject of his research, which falls under Low back pain. The various areas that Johan W.S. Vlaeyen examines in his Low back pain study include Exposure therapy and Set. His research investigates the connection between Cognitive behavioral therapy and topics such as Insomnia that intersect with issues in Pain catastrophizing and Physical medicine and rehabilitation.
