Injustice and chronic pain research study opportunity

[pain_researcher]

Hi everyone, my name is Craig and I'm a clinical psychology doctorate student at Teesside University. I am currently recruiting individuals living with chronic pain to take part in my online study currently advertised on the Arthritis Action website.

The aim of the research is to better understand the link between injury, injustice, and pain. I am hoping to publish the results in a pain management journal to help guide future research and treatment for those living with chronic pain.

To be eligible you need to:

> have experienced pain for 3 months or longer

> have experienced a previous injury; for example, accident at work, fall, car collision, burn, sporting injury etc..

Participation would only take around 10 minutes of your time and can be accessed via the link below 👇

ALL responses will be completely anonymous.

Many thanks for your considered participation and please send me a message if you have any questions.

Best wishes,

Craig

I know most of us on this board suffer from chronic pain due to arthritis, but I should imagine very few will have the pain from accident which you are looking for in your survey.

[MarmiteLover1 in reply to piglette]

Yes, this will apply to very few of us, I agree. This will restrict the survey enormously.

It also means they really need to go for people who are reasonably OK otherwise. In fact I am not convinced you would get very good statistics a lot of accidents tend to be unique.

Hi, yes absolutely. It would only really be suitable to a particular sub-population who have post-traumatic arthritis following an injury/trauma (approximately 10% of those living with arthritis).

The type of injury people experience is always very much unique like you said. However, the questions are designed to measure this so that it can be accounted for in the statistical analysis.

Thanks,

Craig

Hello Craig,

I believe most of us are undergoing post-surgery pain or effects. This might not really be the kind of respondents you require for your sample results. Neither will it give you the best findings for recommendations in respect to your study variables or objectives.

All the best in your thesis / research though.
