Most clinical trials enrol 'ideal' patients—under 75, with few comorbidities, good treatment adherence, and wonderful follow-up. But how do we apply these results to the many patients who don’t fit these criteria? Real-life patients are often far more complex. #ClinicalTrials

Even more pertinent when you consider that chronic pain is perceived as the most bothersome condition of chronic pain with multimorbidity
When an RCT in the MSK pain field excludes people with significant co-morbidities, they effectively address a lower risk group with more favourable outcomes. There is a big gap in the research addressing the more complex presentations.
