Summary

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.
