I was so hopeful that I can participate until my head hit the sentence the injured head …I knew my head has become useless after the head injury 🤕 🔨

Hi painny, I'm Craig, the researcher running this study. Thanks for your interest in participating. Sorry you couldn't take part this time round!

So do you have to have had an injury or can you apply under "you've had pain for longer than three months" bit?

[desquinn Partner Volunteer FMAUK Trustee in reply to Cat00]

the first couple of questions cover the eligibility criteria and will rule you in or out depending on your answers.

[pain_researcher in reply to Cat00]

Hi,

The criteria is i) experienced a previous injury and ii) have been experiencing pain for 3 months or longer following this injury.

So unfortunately you would not be eligible if you experience pain alone.

Thanks,

Craig

Not sure what "perceived injustice" actually means!

[pain_researcher in reply to LhasaMomma]

Hi there,

Perceived injustice refers to an individual's belief that they have been unfairly treated. It also includes feelings of blame, i e., that a person or organisation may be at fault for the unfair treatment that someone may have experienced.

In the context of this study we are exploring how feelings of injustice is related to persistent pain following an injury.

Hopefully that makes sense.

Thanks,

Craig

Fibromyalgia isn't an "injury" .....

So you are researching whether having fibromyalgia leads us to feel that society or an organisation or employer are perceived to have treated us unfairly? Sounds like you are approaching this from a mental health perspective.

[desquinn Partner Volunteer FMAUK Trustee in reply to LhasaMomma]

The research is for conditions including but not limited to fibromyalgia.

Craig says " feelings of injustice is related to persistent pain following an injury" which is separating the injury and persistent pain aspect.

It is a short survey and if you meet the eligibility criteria then great but alternatively there will be other surveys.
