In this episode, Justine and Dan go over a number of different assessments tools you can use to define what types of pain you have, what amplifiers may be playing a role, and how symptoms are affecting you functionally. Besides these validated measures, we'll also introduce our sensitization questionnaire so you can look at the information you pull out through the lens we've been looking at central sensitization through, and finish with a discussion on the impact patient mindset has on the ability to improve. To fill out these questionnaires for yourself, and get additional context and information about them, please visit the episode page at our website below.
