Clinical management remains challenging because chronic pain is multidimensional and requires a patient-centred approach that is consistent with the current biopsychosocial paradigm. Importantly, more than 85% of presentations are labelled \"non-specific\", highlighting the limited diagnostic yield of conventional imaging for identifying a single pathoanatomical cause. Pain chronification arises from interacting mechanisms spanning molecular, psychological, and social levels, creating an urgent need for high-quality research that refines diagnostic strategies, improves patient stratification, and enables more targeted care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Special Issue includes the following topics: imaging and neuroimaging; somatosensory profiling (e.g., quantitative sensory testing); clinical prediction and risk models; biomarkers and digital phenotyping; new proposals for clinically meaningful phenotypes or endotypes; evaluations of diagnostic pathways; and demonstrations of how improved classification informs treatment selection, prognosis, and patient-relevant outcomes. The overarching aim is to move beyond the broad-and often unhelpful-category of \"non-specific\" chronic pain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mdpi AG","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47594782097559,"sku":"9783725863020","price":6009.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783725863020.webp?v=1774987134","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/clinical-diagnosis-and-treatment-of-chronic-pain-9783725863020","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
