What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Internal medicine
- Surgery
- Neuroscience
His primary scientific interests are in Physical therapy, Chronic pain, Neuroscience, McGill Pain Questionnaire and Anesthesia.
His work on Pain catastrophizing as part of general Physical therapy research is frequently linked to MEDLINE, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.
His research in Chronic pain intersects with topics in Inflammation and Hypothalamus, Endocrinology.
His Neuroscience study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Noxious stimulus.
His study in McGill Pain Questionnaire is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Clinical pain, Pain experience, Clinical psychology and Rating scale.
His Anesthesia research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Autotomy and Subcutaneous injection.
His most cited work include:
- The McGill Pain Questionnaire: major properties and scoring methods. (5411 citations)
- Pain mechanisms: a new theory. (5331 citations)
- The short-form McGill pain questionnaire (3202 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Ronald Melzack mainly investigates Anesthesia, Physical therapy, Neuroscience, McGill Pain Questionnaire and Chronic pain.
His Anesthesia research incorporates elements of Tonic, Formalin Test and Pharmacology.
In his study, Phantom limb is strongly linked to Physical medicine and rehabilitation, which falls under the umbrella field of Physical therapy.
His study looks at the intersection of Neuroscience and topics like Noxious stimulus with Nociceptor and Thalamus.
Ronald Melzack usually deals with McGill Pain Questionnaire and limits it to topics linked to Placebo and Acupuncture and Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation.
His Stimulation study combines topics in areas such as Stimulus and Central nervous system.
He most often published in these fields:
- Anesthesia (33.06%)
- Physical therapy (30.99%)
- Neuroscience (18.18%)
