Claus Kjærgaard is a PhD Fellow at the Clinical Institute, Aalborg University, focusing on the reduction of musculoskeletal pain among surgeons. His work is clinically oriented and involves cross-disciplinary collaboration between the Urological Surgery Department at Aalborg University Hospital, Occupational Medicine at Aarhus University Hospital, and the Clinical Institute at Aalborg University. Kjærgaard's research addresses the high prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal pain among surgeons, acknowledging the inadequate exploration of causes, mechanisms, and effective solutions. He employs systematic reviews, meta-analyses, surveys, biomechanical measurements, and randomized controlled trials in his research. His long-term goal is to contribute to the development of evidence-based, individualized treatment and prevention of chronic pain through risk profiling and validation of clinically relevant subgroups. His PhD project includes four integrated studies focusing on such aspects as the prevalence and impact of interventions for chronic pain among surgeons, integrating kinematic measurements to identify biomechanical risk factors, and employing epidemiological methods to understand the biopsychosocial risk factors affecting surgeons in Denmark. Kjærgaard's research supports the UN's Sustainable Development Goal 3: Health and Well-being.
