Dr. Flegge's research interests include lifestyle factors that are comorbidities of chronic pain including nutrition, sexual functioning, and sleep. She is also interested in improving outcomes for patients completing pain rehabilitation programming and expanding intervention options for multidisciplinary care in chronic pain management. Specifically, her most recent research involves making biofeedback for chronic pain more accessible and affordable by offering it in group and virtual settings using equipment that is readily available in most medical outpatient settings.
