Hidden genetic disorder found in chronic pain patients?
NCT ID NCT02450604
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested 776 people with chronic pain of unknown cause to see if they had Fabry disease, a rare inherited disorder that can cause pain, kidney, heart, and nerve problems. Researchers used enzyme tests in men and genetic tests in women to find cases. The goal was to see how common Fabry disease is in this group and help diagnose it earlier.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors identify Fabry disease earlier in people with unexplained chronic pain, leading to better management.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only looks for the disease and does not test any therapy, so it cannot directly improve outcomes.
