It affects individuals across the lifespan—most prominently older adults and women—manifesting as axial spinal pain, arthralgia, or generalized myofascial pain that leads to physical disability and emotional distress Clinically and pathophysiologically, it encompasses primary pain conditions driven by nociplastic mechanisms and altered central sensory processing, as well as secondary pain stemming from persistent inflammation, structural joint damage, or biomechanical loading

It affects individuals across the lifespan—most prominently older adults and women—manifesting as axial spinal pain, arthralgia, or generalized myofascial pain that leads to physical disability and emotional distress Key features include deep aching or stiffness, localized tenderness, mechanical hyperalgesia, and sustained neuroinflammatory or central sensitization cascades
