Summary

This study aims to improve how doctors diagnose and treat chronic muscle and joint pain by using simple questionnaires and pain sensitivity tests. Researchers will study 250 adults with conditions like osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic low back pain, or inflammatory arthritis. The goal is to better understand how the brain and nerves contribute to pain, leading to faster and more effective treatments.
