The BRIDGE Pain Study is looking for young people aged 14 to 26 who have long-lasting muscle and bone pain, such as from Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), Fibromyalgia, Lupus, Scoliosis, or Pectus Excavatum. This is an observational study, meaning you won't receive any new treatments. Instead, researchers want to understand different types of musculoskeletal pain. They will look at your medical history, how your body senses pain (Conditioned Pain Modulation and Temporal Summation), and immune system markers in your blood. The goal is to identify at least two distinct pain subtypes based on how your brain and immune system affect pain, as well as your biology, psychology, and social environment. This study aims to enroll 600 participants.

Study design

This is an observational study, not testing a specific intervention. It aims to enroll 600 participants to understand different types of musculoskeletal pain.

What's involved

Researchers will collect information on your childhood medical history, past treatments, when your pain started, and what your pain feels like now. They will also perform tests to see how your body senses pain and collect blood samples for immune system markers.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The primary endpoints, which measure how your body senses pain, are taken at Baseline. The record does not specify any follow-up after this initial assessment.
