Thomas is a Swedish doctor and medical researcher. He has conducted research in pain management with a focus on physical treatment methods and biochemical analysis.
He has also written textbooks in physiology, pain and acupuncture. 
In 1983 Thomas completed his doctoral thesis on vibration treatment in chronic pain at the Karolinska Institute. From 1988 to 2003 he was a senior lecturer and then Professor of Physiology at KI.
Thomas became a specialist in medical rehabilitation in 1997 and in pain relief in 1999. He became a 2003 general practitioner in rehabilitation medicine at Karolinska University Hospital and moved to Danderyd Hospital in 2004 when the department moved there. 
His interests are (amongst others) neurology; mechanisms of acupuncture; chronic pain; spinal cord injuries. He has the distinction of having been both a researcher and a clinician and so can talk about mechanisms and their implications for the patient.

Mechanisms of acupuncture (peripheral, spinal, brain stem and central) -practical implications.
