Ole Mathiesen

Research leader, Professor, Consultant, MD, Ph.d.

As a research leader, I see it as an essential priority to:

Set an ambitious and realistic strategy within the department’s research areas.
To work strategically and promote cooperation locally, nationally, and internationally.
Together with the research team, define the right research areas and projects, and set goals for implementing these.
To ensure guidance and support to contribute to the professional development of the individual researcher.
To put together the right research teams that promote synergy.
To guide, facilitate and support the research and researchers within the various research tracks in the department.
To treat employees in the research unit properly and ensure good well-being.
To promote continued connection to research for the individual researcher after project implementation.

Martin Vedel Nielsen

Junior Doctor, ph.d. student

In my Ph.D. study, we have developed a completely new ultrasound-guided blockade type (the costotransverse block) specifically for (peri) postoperative analgesic treatment for significant breast cancer surgeries. The blockade exploits the positive effects of the thoracic paravertebral blockade but with a much smaller risk profile. Our opinion is that our new blocking is faster, safer, and easier to learn – and we hope that the technique can be quickly adapted in everyday life nationally and internationally.

Improving postoperative pain management using ultrasound-guided nerve blockages. I work primarily with the Transmuscular Quadratus Lumborum (TQL) blockade, which is connected with abdominal surgery. Through various clinical trials, we investigate the effect of the TQL blockade on different types of surgery with an expectation that we can reduce postoperative morphine consumption with minimal side effects for patients.

My primary focus is to optimise postoperative pain management for patients undergoing breast cancer surgery. By a multimodal approach consisting of systemic analgesics and nerve blockades, we aim to establish the foundation for an early rehabilitative period with minimal pain and minimise the dependence on postoperative opioid treatment.

Researches in treatments that can reduce the pain of the planned orthopedic surgical patients, both immediately after the operation and in the longer term.

A Ph.D. course is currently being planned in collaboration with the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Bispebjerg Hospital, which will investigate how to prevent the development of chronic pain after insertion of an artificial knee or hip.
