Nikolai Bogduk is a retired Australian anatomist, and emeritus professor of the University of Newcastle Bone & Joint Institute, Australia. His research and publications were primarily on the anatomical sources and causes of chronic spinal pain and headache, as well as the development of new diagnostic techniques and treatments for these conditions.

Research papers

Bogduk has published anatomical research, randomised controlled trials, observational studies, and reviews. The main themes of his published research were determining the innervation of the spinal column, examining the biomechanics of the spine, the development of diagnostic tests for neck and low back pain, and developing and looking at minimally invasive treatment techniques such as radiofrequency neurotomy.
