Systematic random sample. 320 users of the Health Centres of Puerto de Sagunto (Valencia) and Alto Palancia (Castellón) that suffer chronic pain of osteomuscular origin. Collection of data from the application of Questionnaire COOP-WONCA adapted to Spanish.

The core technologies proposed in surgery have boosted the innovation transformation and disciplinary development. However, the core technologies in anesthesiology remain undefined both domestically and internationally. Through collaborative discussions among Chinese anesthesiologists, the core technologies of anesthesiology can be succinctly summarized as Relief of pain, Regulation of life, Resuscitation, and Restoration of organ function, and collectively referred to as the 4R technologies.

Design: A two-phase approach was used to assess barriers and facilitators to research participation for people living with chronic pain. Online focus groups were run in phase 1, generating qualitative data, while phase 2 used the themes identified within phase 1 to assess agreement and disagreement.
