Summary:

Chronic overlapping pain conditions represent up to half of all chronic pain cases and can be more debilitating than other forms of chronic pain. These conditions include but are not limited to the following: temporomandibular disorders, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, vulvodynia, interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome, painful endometriosis, chronic tension type headache, migraine headache, chronic low back pain, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Common neurobiological mechanisms have been suspected to account for the overlap between these conditions, but until recently it has been difficult to efficiently classify each condition within individual patients. A digital classification tool for clinicians has been developed for this purpose, but access to the tool remains limited. Here we propose converting this chronic overlapping pain conditions classification tool into a common web-based application format.
