简要总结
The investigators are evaluating refugee torture survivors who are receiving services at the Weill Cornell Center for Human Rights. There are two research questions in this study: if the current standard of care results in the under or missed diagnosis of pain and pain syndromes, and if a validated pain screening tool can supplement the current standard protocol used in the assessments of survivors of torture.
详细描述
The research plan consists of three components:
- The Weill Cornell Center for Human Rights will coordinate with the research team regarding eligible subjects.
- Researchers will contact potential subjects utilizing interpreter services.
- Interested participants will be scheduled for an appointment for an examination by a pain physician and to complete the Brief Pain Inventory.
