We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Chronic pain — The entry states 'The DSM-5 defines chronic complications as lasting more than six months, without requiring physical or mental injury.' This is a factual error: the DSM-5 does not define 'chronic complications' in this context; it defines chronic pain disorde
Amplified musculoskeletal pain syndrome — The statement that AMPS is classified into four types including CRPS is misleading and not standard in widely accepted medical canon; CRPS is a distinct diagnosis with its own diagnostic criteria, not a subtype of AMPS.
Amplified musculoskeletal pain syndrome — The claim that localized amplified pain cannot include swelling, skin changes, or perspiration is factually incorrect; such autonomic changes can occur in localized amplified pain and do not exclusively imply CRPS.
Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome — The first known deaths associated with CHS were reported in a 2016 case series, but the two deaths were due to complications of severe vomiting and dehydration, not specifically hyponatremic dehydration; the case report described one death from acute renal fai
Central pain syndrome — The entry lists Graves' disease, Addison's disease, and epilepsy as causes of central pain syndrome, but these are not recognized causes; established causes include stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, tumors, and physical trauma.
Degenerative disc disease — Loss of water content in the nucleus pulposus makes discs less flexible, not more flexible.
Degenerative disc disease — The figure 'approximately 30 million people every year' is not a widely established canon statistic for degenerative disc disease; prevalence is typically cited as a percentage of the aging population, not a fixed annual number.
Familial episodic pain syndrome — FEPS Type 3 is not a widely recognized established type in the medical literature; only FEPS Type 1 (TRPA1) and FEPS Type 2 (SCN10A) are canonically described, and the claim of a Type 3 with specific features (pain lasting days, treated with anti-inflammatory
Familial episodic pain syndrome — The statement that all three types are transmitted in an autosomal dominant pattern is misleading because only two types are established, and the inheritance pattern for the unverified Type 3 cannot be confirmed.
Management of chronic headaches — The claim that botulinum toxin type A injections reduced headache frequency by up to 50% over a 9-month period is inaccurate; the PREEMPT trials showed reduction over 24 weeks (about 6 months), not 9 months.
Management of chronic headaches — The claim that a study by the University of North Carolina School of Medicine found acupuncture combined with medicinal treatment resulted in more improvement than medicinal treatment alone is not a canonical finding; no such well-known study from UNC is estab
Myofascial pain syndrome — The claim that 'limited range of motion after approximately 5 seconds of sustained trigger point pressure' is a standard symptom is not a universally established clinical fact; the 5-second figure is not a widely recognized diagnostic criterion in mainstream m
Myofascial pain syndrome — The statement that 'Electromyography (EMG) has been used to detect abnormal motor neuron activity in the affected area' is overly broad; while EMG can show changes in some studies, it is not a standard diagnostic tool for MPS and the claim implies routine clin
