Science In his resident time Wolff participated in research addressing the effect of epidural local anaesthetic agents, including Ropivacaine, a new drug at that time. From 1992-1997 Wolff participated in the anaesthesiology animal laboratory to elaborate the effect of short acting local anaesthestic agents in the white Wistar rat. Subsquently he started working for the Pain Acknowledge Centre Nijmegen where he was involved in various research and quality projects such as the development of the Dutch Pain Classification, the development of Epiduroscopy and in organizing scientific symposia and congresses. He performed and published various studies on “Segmental Nerve Root Blocks in Patients with Chronic Radiating Low Back Pain: Bringing Light to the Darkness?” and finished his PhD thesis on this subject in 2006. The Dutch Society of Anaesthesiologists awarded this thesis as the best one for 2006-2007. Thereafter, from 2006 to 2008, he followed prof. dr Ben Crul as Head of the Pain Acknowledge Centre Nijmegen, supervising scientific and educational projects. In 2008 he became leader of a validation project for clinical hands on instruments developed to detect neuropathy. This project resulted in publications based on multi centre studies with respect to neuropathy identification tools. Because of his activities in the field of patient safety and quality of care, Wolff also became the leader of a research group studying themes related to “Evidence Based Perioperative Patient Safety”. Main topics are the implementation effects of the national guidelines concerning the Pre-, Per- and Postoperative trajectory and implementation strategies. Various PhD students are active in this research area. Another main topic is studying instruments to identify unsafety in the perioperative patient care. In Groningen main research. In February of 2016 Wolff started as professor in Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine at the University and UMC Groningen. He initiated research on the understanding, prevention and treatment of sensitization and somatosensory nervous system conduction patterns of chronic pain, with specific attention for precision diagnosis via the nervous system and central sensitization. Main research populations are patients with spinal pain, visceral related pain and oncology related pain. Innovation and quality of chronic pain related patient care paths is another topic of interest. Wolff collaborates for research within the UMCG with various departments and externally in national and international networks on chronic pain and pain in oncologic patients.
