Can a simple pain quiz reveal hidden nerve pain in muscle injuries?
NCT ID NCT07356115
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study is gathering data from 150 adults with muscle or joint pain to see how their answers on a pain questionnaire (PainDETECT) relate to where it hurts and their official diagnosis. Researchers hope to better understand when nerve pain is involved in common musculoskeletal conditions. No treatments are being tested—this is purely about improving diagnosis.
