Association of High PainDETECT Scores With Pain Region and Diagnosis in Patients Attending a Musculoskeletal and Sports Medicine Clinic (PD-MSK)

February 19, 2026 updated by: Prof. Dr. Deniz Demirci, Uskudar University

Evaluation of the Association Between PainDETECT Scores, Pain Localization, and Diagnosis in a Musculoskeletal and Sports Medicine Outpatient Population

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.

Detailed Description

This is an observational, non-interventional study conducted in a musculoskeletal and sports medicine outpatient clinic. Adult patients presenting with pain will be included. The PainDETECT questionnaire will be used to assess neuropathic pain components. Pain regions and clinical diagnoses determined during routine clinical evaluation will be recorded.

No interventions, experimental treatments, or changes to standard clinical care will be applied. The study will analyze the association between PainDETECT scores, pain localization, and clinical diagnoses. Data will be collected prospectively and analyzed using appropriate statistical methods to explore potential relationships between variables.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
PainDETECT Score
Time Frame: At baseline, based on retrospective review of existing medical records.
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.
