Pain Screening in Refugee Survivors of Torture

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Pain, Chronic

In brief

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.
