DOLORisk: Understanding Risk Factors and Determinants for Neuropathic Pain - The Influence of Sensory Phenotype on the Risk of Developing Neuropathic Pain

Cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis of the somatosensory phenotype, assessed by quantitative sensory testing (QST) and Information obtained by questionnaires to detect risk factors for neuropathic pain development and chronification in painless and chronic pain patients.
