      Chronic pain is often present at more than one anatomical location, leading to chronic overlapping pain conditions (COPC). Whether COPC represents a distinct pathophysiology from the occurrence of pain at only one site is ...
    • Low Back Pain With Persistent Radiculopathy; the Clinical Role of Genetic Variants in the Genes SOX5, CCDC26/GSDMC and DCC 

      Lie, Marie; Pedersen, Linda Margareth; Heuch, Ingrid; Winsvold, Bendik K S; Gjerstad, Johannes; Hasvik, Eivind Olay; Nygaard, Øystein Petter; Grotle, Margreth; Matre, Dagfinn; Zwart, John Anker Henrik; Nilsen, Kristian Bernhard (Frontiers in Genetics;January 2022 | Volume 12 | Article 757632, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-01-24)
      In a recently published genome-wide association study (GWAS) chronic back pain was associated with three loci; SOX5, CCDC26/GSDMC and DCC. This GWAS was based on a heterogeneous sample of back pain disorders, and it is ...
