Dr. Siddhartha Sikdar's research lab focuses on understanding chronic musculoskeletal pain, specifically knee osteoarthritis, by exploring how individual differences in symptoms and factors affect pain trajectories. By using innovative network modeling techniques, the lab aims to develop clinical tools that assess and manage pain more effectively, tapping into patients' experiences and various biopsychosocial influences. The goal is to improve pain management and provide personalized treatment strategies for individuals suffering from chronic pain.
