Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify factors that affect the effectiveness of pain inhibition using machine learning models to assess Conditioned Pain Modulation (CPM) in patients with musculoskeletal pain.
- This exploratory research involved 311 outpatient participants, collecting data on their demographics, lifestyle, and clinical characteristics while employing a cold-pressure test to measure CPM efficacy.
- The XGBoost model outperformed other algorithms, showing an accuracy of 81% and highlighting that pain duration, fatigue, physical activity, and number of painful areas significantly impacted CPM effectiveness, suggesting further research is needed for broader application.
