Self-reported questionnaires assessing body perception disturbances in adults with chronic non-cancer pain: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Body perception disturbances (BPD) are well documented in certain chronic pain populations [e.g., complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)], while being far less studied in chronic pain as a general condition.
