Beyond the Pain: Patterns of Somatic Comorbidity in Patients With High‐Impact Chronic Pain Referred to Specialised Interdisciplinary Treatment
This study identifies distinct clusters of somatic comorbidities among patients with high-impact chronic pain and links them to health outcomes. Understanding these clusters may help clinicians tailor more precise, stratified pain interventions and offers basic scientists insight into potential underlying mechanisms connecting chronic pain with systemic disease patterns.
