New hope for unseen pain: study aims to better diagnose torture survivors

NCT ID NCT04629963

Summary

This study aims to improve how chronic pain is detected and treated in people who have survived torture. Researchers will test if adding a simple pain questionnaire to a standard medical exam can dramatically improve pain detection. They will also explore what pain treatments are acceptable to survivors and test a six-month digital health program to manage pain and stress.
