What this trial studies
The PRECISION Pain Research Registry enrolls individuals with chronic low back pain and those without chronic pain to investigate the epidemiology and management of chronic pain. Participants complete various validated questionnaires at scheduled encounters to gather comprehensive data on their pain experiences and treatment approaches. The registry also collects biological specimens for future research on potential biomarkers related to chronic pain. This observational study aims to enhance understanding and improve management strategies for chronic low back pain.
