Screening for NCCIH Pain Studies

This study is a screening process for people interested in joining future research studies about pain at the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH). It's not testing a treatment, but rather helping researchers find volunteers for their studies. If you're between 12 and 100 years old and interested in NCCIH studies, you might be eligible. The screening may involve reviewing your medical history, a physical exam, vital signs (like blood pressure), questionnaires, blood and urine tests, and optional sensory tests to understand your pain and health. The goal is to identify healthy volunteers and people with pain who could participate in future NCCIH research.
