First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at pain in people with ADPKD, a kidney disease that often causes pain in the belly, side, and back. Researchers will use sensory tests and questionnaires to understand the pain better. They will compare results from 150 patients with those from healthy volunteers. The goal is to improve pain management and develop new treatments.
