Summary
This study aims to improve how doctors diagnose and treat chronic musculoskeletal pain (lasting over 12 weeks) from conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and low back pain. Researchers will test a simple questionnaire and pain sensitivity assessments to see if they can identify when the brain and nerves are the main cause of pain. 250 adults with these conditions will participate, and the goal is to make diagnosis faster and more accurate, leading to better treatments.
