The Implementation of a Novel Pain-screening Tool in the Diagnoses of Pain Symptoms and Syndromes in Refugee Survivors of Torture
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.
