Discovery and validation of pragmatic biomarkers represent significant advancements in the field of pain management. Evaluating relationships between objective biomarkers and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) is an effective way to gain mechanistic insight into the potential role of biochemistry in chronic pain. The aim of this study was to validate the Foundation Pain Index (FPI) by evaluating associations between deranged biochemical function and PROMIS-29 domains in individuals living with chronic pain.
