Chiarotto, A, Kaiser, U, Choy, E et al. (13 more authors) (2019) Pain measurement in rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases: where to go from here? Report from a Special Interest Group at OMERACT 2018. Journal of Rheumatology, 46 (10). pp. 1355-1359. ISSN 0315-162X
Abstract
Objective: Establishing a research agenda on standardizing pain measurement in clinical trials in rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs).
Methods: Discussion during a meeting at OMERACT 2018, prepared by a systematic review of existing core outcome sets and a patient online survey.
Results: Several key questions were debated: is pain a symptom or a disease? are pain core (sub)domains consistent across RMDs? how to account for pain mechanistic descriptors (e.g. central sensitization) in pain measurement?
Conclusion: Characterizing and assessing the spectrum of pain experience across RMDs in a standardized fashion is the future objective of the OMERACT pain working group.
