Prof. Sluijter can largely be credited with the development of pulsed radiofrequency treatment. He lives in the Netherlands and is highly involved in research related to chronic pain. He is also affiliated with the Jan van Goyen Clinic i Amsterdam. His importance is mainly in being part of shifting how physicians deal with long term pain from 'pain management' to 'pain treatment.'
