Kim Kristiansen MD lives and works in Denmark. He not only is practicing physician but also CEO of a company called EvidenceProfile ApS. Dr. Kristiansen’s work often focuses on pain, pain management, and pain research. He, along with two colleagues, invented DoloTest®– a validated, multidimensional pain assessment tool that actively involves the patient.
In this podcast, Dr. Kristiansen talks with Helen Osborne about:
- Why it is so important, yet difficult, for providers and patients to talk about pain.
- How chronic (persistent) pain affects many aspects of a person’s life.
- Ways DoloTest® helps patients and providers reach a shared understanding about pain.
