What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether a French version of the Pain Sensitivity Questionnaire (PSQ) accurately measures a person's natural sensitivity to pain. The PSQ uses 17 questions about everyday situations that might cause pain. Researchers will compare answers from healthy volunteers and patients scheduled for surgery with their responses to actual pain-inducing tests, such as heat, cold, and pressure. The goal is to validate the French version for use in pain research and clinical practice.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Psychophysical exploration (pain, smell, noise, and light sensitivity tests)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a reliable French-language tool to measure pain sensitivity, aiding pain research and personalized pain management.
What could go wrong
The questionnaire may not fully capture pain sensitivity in all populations, and the study's results depend on the accuracy of the psychophysical tests.
