Persistent back pain is the leading cause of years lived with disability worldwide. Current therapeutic interventions are often either not effective or are associated with undesired consequences. These concerns are further amplified by the current opioid epidemic, resulting in an enormous public health crisis. Experts from diverse disciplines including molecular/cellular …
The primary aim of this study is to measure pain and psychosocial patient reported outcomes, objective functionality, and actual daily at home opioid usage in orthopedic patients. The study's goal following the data collection is to predict which patients are at high risk for chronic opioid use.
Spinal pain is frequently accompanied by other chronic conditions (multimorbidity) and the predicted rise in multimorbidity prevalence emphasizes the need for studies to understand its impact on patients with chronic pain conditions.

Patients suffereing from chronic pain due to persistent spinal pain syndromes or complex regional pain syndromes and living in Belgium will be included in this register once they are being considered for a treatment with invasive neuromodulation (either spinal cord stimulation either dorsal root ganglion stimulation). The screening process, the …
Exertional symptoms are the hallmarks of metabolic myopathies, supporting the concept of using functional tests when this diagnosis is suspected. Exercise increases the concentration of muscle metabolites in the venous blood supply (e.g. lactate, pyruvate, and ammonia) especially during recovery. The purpose of this study is to compare the results …
The investigator aims to prospectively enroll patients who were referred for coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) for the assessment of stable chest pain (SCP) suspected of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). All patients underwent CCTA according to established guidelines and local institutional protocols. The imaging data were evaluated using different …
Chronic pain is associated with mental disorders, and some patients have behavioral issues. Some patients may sexually or racially harass pain clinic staff.

Almost 58% of patients suffer from chronic pain, often of the neuropathic type, with altered quality of life and disease burden amplified by …
The investigator aims to prospectively enroll patients who were referred for transthorcic echocardiography (TTE) for the assessment of stable chest pain (SCP) suspected of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). All patients underwent TTE according to established guidelines and local institutional protocols. This study will determine if TTE-based imaging evaluation can …
Abdominal pain is a common symptom in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Up to 70 % of IBD patients experience pain when the disease is active.
