What are the tests for chronic pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chronic Conundrum: Chronic pain itself is unique to every individual and so no specific "test" can verify its absence or presence. What is measureable and worthy of testing are the conditions that might precipitate chronic pain. Findings on x-ray, ct, mri, blood work and by clinical examination are sufficient to make a pathological diagnosis, but whether these findings result in chronic pain depends on the person.
