Approximately 20% of any population experiences chronic pain
Yet research from former Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine physicians indicates that 40%–80% of these individuals are misdiagnosed. This leads to significant emotional and financial burdens for patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.
Accurate identification of the pain’s cause is essential before effective testing and treatment can begin. To address this, New Wave Medical has developed a pain assessment test to assist with the proper diagnosis of pain origination. Based on the original work performed by a team of Johns Hopkins physicians, our Pain Assessment Test can identify legitimate pain issues and their root cause, vs. pain seeking behavior or exaggerated symptoms which would prolong treatment and hinder recovery. This test has been used in litigation to protect physicians as well as patients from claim denials and settlement negotiations.
