Brief Summary

This observational study aims to evaluate the relationship between PainDETECT questionnaire scores, pain regions, and clinical diagnoses in patients presenting to a musculoskeletal and sports medicine clinic. Patients attending the clinic will complete the PainDETECT questionnaire, and their pain localization and clinical diagnoses will be recorded. The findings are expected to contribute to a better understanding of neuropathic pain components in musculoskeletal conditions.

Neuropathic Pain; Musculoskeletal Pain

Keywords

PainDETECT; Retrospective Study; Patient-Reported Outcome; Pain Assessment; Chronic Pain; Neuropathic Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• PainDETECT Score

  The PainDETECT score is a validated patient-reported outcome measure used to assess the likelihood of neuropathic pain components. The score is calculated based on responses recorded in existing medical records. No additional assessments or interventions are performed as part of this study.

  At baseline, based on retrospective review of existing medical records.

Study Arms (1)

Patients with musculoskeletal pain
