Clinical Trial Description

The aim of the present study is to describe the natural flow of the chronic pain patients at the pain center AZ Sint-Lucas. Patients will be examined before starting the therapy, and receive standardized questionnaires at several fixed time points (before, during, and after their therapy trajectory). Information about the present dominant pain mechanism will be gathered during the examination. The questionnaires will gather demographic data, information about the present dominant pain mechanism, psychosocial factors, catastrophizing, fear and avoidance, illness perceptions, fatigue and information about therapy success. During the examination, typical signs of a dominant nociplastic pain mechanism will be gathered. By processing the data of the questionnaires and the examination, knowledge about (1) the amount of patients with a dominant nociplastic pain mechanism at intake, (2) the treatment trajectory for a specific diagnosis, and (3) the prediction of the therapy effect and prognosis will be obtained. ;
