Quite a large collaborative study between Stanford and NIH.
There's not a lot of data in the abstract as to how they reached their conclusions or possible therapeutic targets but the major take away for me was that fatigue may be responsible for much of the physical function losses in chronic pain conditions (as opposed to the pain itself).
Which may be good news if fatigue becomes a research focus in these conditions.
