The BRIDGE Pain Study is looking for patterns in how the brain, immune system, and life experiences affect why some teenagers and young adults develop chronic muscle and bone pain. Researchers want to identify at least two distinct types of chronic pain—each caused by different biological signals and influenced by psychology and social factors. By studying your medical history, blood work, and how your body senses pain, they hope to better understand and eventually prevent long-lasting pain in young people.
Doctors know that young people can develop chronic pain after surgery, injury, or rheumatic disease, but they don't fully understand why some people recover while others experience long-lasting pain. This study aims to uncover the biological, psychological, and social reasons behind these differences so that treatments can be better tailored to each person's needs.

You will share your medical records and complete questionnaires about your pain, mood, and life experiences. Researchers will also collect a blood sample to study immune system markers and test how your body responds to touch and temperature. The study visits and follow-up will depend on which group you join, but the goal is to help scientists understand your unique pain pattern and identify what factors may protect or increase your risk.
