Roger B. Fillingim

Roger B. Fillingim studies chronic pain, especially osteoarthritis knee pain, and how it relates to factors like blood pressure, aging, sleep, brain health, and psychological or social experience. His work spans laboratory pain sensitivity testing, large observational and Medicare claims studies, clinical trials, and qualitative research on how different communities experience and think about pain. Much of the research aims to understand individual differences in pain and identify behavioral, biological, or pharmacological factors that influence pain severity and treatment.

Publication output rose from the low 30s in 2017-2018 to a peak of 76 in 2020, then declined and has fluctuated in the 28-56 range in recent years, suggesting a somewhat variable but still active publication pace.
